All "abnormal chromosome people" are either male or female. "Aneuploidy" is an abnormality in the number of chromosomes in a cell due to loss or duplication. In humans, aneuploidy would be any number of chromosomes other than the usual 46. Any individual with the SRY gene, which enables the formation of testes, is male. The SRY gene is almost always found on the Y chromosome, so the shorthand way of saying how a male can be identified is to say that any individual with a Y chromosome is male. In very rare cases, the SRY gene will have migrated to and be found on the X chromosome which every male has. This is a great resource for understanding what sex is, how it is determined, and what Disorders of Sexual Development are: https://theparadoxinstitute.com

Thanks. I mentioned "abnormal chromosome people" with regard to whataboutism with respect to sports where it is not a case of "I identify as".
