    No, it’s not. What part makes someone “biologically” male or female? If their hormones are such that they are growing in the manner you’d expect for a male or female then they are biologically that sex, regardless of what they were at birth. Your chromosomes are not your biology. A(M/F)AB is unambiguous and clear. Biologically male or female could be referring to a number of biological processes in their body, many/most of which are associated with their chosen gender if they’re undergoing HRT.

      Show me a research paper that makes this claim. It is called gender affirming care and not sex affirming care for a reason.

        And we call it sex change surgery despite not changing your chromosomes (which is what 99.9% of the “biological sex” people refer to). If your point is the language is flawed, I agree. If your point is that the flawed language is accurate, I don’t. What is sex? If your answer has anything that is modified by hormones then you agree that sex is much more complicated than a single binary, and biological sex is a misleading, oversimplified, and inaccurate term.
