    Kleinfelters is a thing. Some cis women have a Y chromosome and don’t even know it until they happen to get a DNA test.

    There’s simply no good way to use strict definitions of sex to invalidate trans people without excluding some cis people as well.

          Klinefelter syndrome occurs when a person who is assigned male at birth is born with an extra x chromosome. Most people with the condition are cisgender boys or men.

          Being trans is not a medical condition, although many trans people have gender dysphoria, which is psychological distress a person may have due to identifying with a different gender than the one that they were assigned at birth.
