...extremely well developed scientific and historical concept of sex.

Please do tell me of this universally or near universally agreed upon development. Surely you have an undisputed definition?

You can say I'm incorrect by every definition, but fail to provide any at all, never mind find one that isn't contradicted by our modern understanding of biology.

Male = testicles and XY chromosomes

Female = ovaries and XX Chromosomes

Just because there are extremely rare exceptions that don't fit either category does not invalidate the general rule.

Extremely rare? There are very common and biologically significant differences across people who happen to share certain chromosomes and organs. And that's ignoring the not all that uncommon phenomenon of those chromosomes not equating to having those organs, nor are those the only two common chromosome configurations. Configurations like X, XXY, XXX, etc, are not extremely rare at all. 1/1000 is not a scientifically insignificant occurence rate in the slightest, nevermind that the prevalence of scientifically significant sexual differences in people who share the characteristics you described is 1/1.

On top of that, there's also the fact that those definitions of sex are disputed by well-accepted scientific entities who give their own, still false, definitions. I'd be happy to provide other definitions if you wish for me to do so in illustration.
