SRY gene is part of how sex is determined, but not how sex is defined.

..by Donald Trump in his stupid antitrans bill.

Biologists are quite happy with using chromosomes to describe sex. Spoiler alert: there are more than two possibilities. Even with trump's stupid definition there are at least three.

i mean, aren't we all female because of that bill? since sex differentiation doesn't happen until [x] weeks, and the bill identifies sex at conception?

Oh, I'd forgotten that additional stupidity, yes you're right. Only one sex, and we're all female. It would explain why trump was blowing off Bubba in the photo that the Epstein files referenced. He's surely not bi.

how can you be bi when we're all lesbians?

Well now, you're right, but I'm not sure you're disagreeing with me. It's not me with the photo pig trump Boeing off Bubba, though, it's Putin. Now he's in love with Mamdani, though, and long may that continue.
