Well, argh, as awkward as it is (since we agree overall), I need to push back just a bit here.
There actually are rare genetic anomalies to support that specific assertion, in absolute terms. Just as clownfish changing sex is a real thing. The issue is that these are irrelevant to the issue under discussion, rather than that they don't exist.
That side of the argument selectively uses some real anomolies and disorders and genetic malfunctions combined with bad logic to try to support false conclusions. But we need to provide context and show the problems in their logic rather than deny the existence of such anomalies, like XY females with androgen insensivity.
I had to stop reading at “XY is not necessarily male.” Jared is an idiot.

If course AIS is a developmental disorder. AIS “females” cannot bear children.
