You’d think if it was all basic biology we would just have a unique gender for every one wouldn’t you?

Nothing in biology is exactly identical between individuums. A common eye color is brown, although there are as many shades of brown as there are people.

It is just practical and how language, or even perception works, that we tend to categorize similarities, and strongly favor common occurrances over outliers.

the doctor is describing your phenotypic sex based on observable characteristics.

Your doctor is assigning you a gender.

Maybe you two aren’t even disagreeing?

I’d say the doctor tries to assign the new born into male or female according to biological sex, and gender is inferred from that.

He calls you either a boy or a girl based on your genital configuration

Yes, that’s what I mean. A two-step process. First, biological expression is assessed. Next, based on #1, social gender is inferred.

the largest assumption you are making is that the OP does business with the EU. If they do not, they are truly out of the jurisdiction of GDPR

GDPR applies to American enterprises if they process personal data of EU citizens.

If you serve a website which is accessible to EU citizens, and that site collects personal data or allows users to enter personal data, GDPR most probably applies to you. IANAL.

Based on your replies to other comments, it seems you don’t see how the GDPR, or GDPR fines, could have any effect on US companies.

Sort the list by fines, and you find US companies paying whopping amounts. Many affect their EU presence (such as Meta Platforms Ireland Limited), but others don’t (such as Meta Platforms, Inc.).

Ask yourself if these giants were just too nice to give in, or if they were too poor to hire a lawyer.

If you think both options are unrealistic, maybe the GDPR does have an effect even on US companies.
