I'm libertarian, but biology is concrete: Homo Sapiens Are Either Male or Female

Biology is never concrete.
I find very strange the compulsion that some people have to claim other people don't exist. They DO exist. If their existence disproves a theory to which you have become emotionally committed, then get over it and change your theory.

If only it were so simple. Genotype, phenotype, developmental and behavioral all run a spectacular gamut of variations.
It's much more amazing than any simple dichotomy.

Am I the only person here who doesn't give a shit what other people's genders or gender identities are? Just build single-user bathrooms like the ones in everyone's houses and be done with it. Unless I'm having sex with you, your gender, biological or psychological, doesn't mean jack diddly shit to me.

There is no confusion about this, nor legitimate debate.
Even if one gets a surgeon and plastic surgeon to snip, fold, tuck, shape, sculpt, or attach an extremity, with dangling sacks of tissue underneath, along with hormone treatment in either case (estrogen or testosterone therapy), it never changes the gender of that person that acquired while in utero (when the specialized cells underwent mitosis based on chromosomes*).
*In this system, the sex of an individual is determined by a pair of sex chromosomes (gonosomes). Females have two of the same kind of sex chromosome (XX), and are called the homogametic sex. Males have two distinct sex chromosomes (XY), and are called the heterogametic sex.
