Seems about right... Your body has its biology, and then there's the societal bits on top.
A black man with Namibian heritage found in Birmingham talking with a Brummie accent and liking tea... Biology is only half the equation.
Now, the problem I have, and it's only with certain people, are the ones who try to change language to another ambiguous one, and rather than calmly and rationally discuss the difference between biological sex and societal gender, just scream "A mAn CaN HaVe BabIeS!!"
Also things like male to female trans people being invited for cervical screening or female to male being invited for prostate checks.... It's a waste of resources and a problem, if your male to female patient stops thinking about their prostate as a thing that they have and cancer's go under detected.
But beyond your doctor, and sports separated by biological sex, your status as male/female/robot/attack helicopter/undecided is arbitrary and you should feel comfortable being whatever.
