I am assuming you're asking in good faith, though I am not trans myself, believe I can answer this.
Mostly yes, though there are some rare exceptions. There are biological males with an extra X chromosome

There are biological females born with XY chromosomes

The issue here isn't the biological 'origins' of a person but rather their gender identity which is protected from discrimination under Australian law by the Sex Discrimination Act (2013).
