Oh you wanted the source for the definitions. It's from The World Health Organisation, I referenced it from here.
Learn, Study and Research in UCC, Ireland's first 5 star university. Our tradition of independent thinking will prepare you for the world and the workplace in a vibrant, modern, green campus.

Are you now going to complain that the WHO is not a valid source? If so, provide an alternative definition then with a better source.
LOL I forgot to respond to this.
From your source's topic sentence:
"In this section of the training hub, we will explore gender equality, including what it means to be transgender."
Would you care to point me to the part where it says they intend to be strictly accurate biologically and medically?
Edit: also from your source,
"So what is gender? The terms ‘gender’ and ‘biological sex’ have become conflated and are often seen as interchangeable. But they are separate and distinct terms.
The World Health Organisation summarises the difference between sex and gender in the following way:
Sex refers to “
the different biological and physiological characteristics of males and females, such as reproductive organs, chromosomes, hormones, etc.”
Gender refers to
"the socially constructed characteristics of women and men – such as norms, roles and relationships of and between groups of women and men. It varies from society to society and can be changed. The concept of gender includes five important elements: relational, hierarchical, historical, contextual and institutional. While most people are born either male or female, they are taught appropriate norms and behaviours – including how they should interact with others of the same or opposite sex within households, communities and work places. When individuals or groups do not “fit” established gender norms they often face stigma, discriminatory practices or social exclusion – all of which adversely affect health17.”

So male, female and intersex refer to biological sex, while “man”, “woman”, “girl”, “boy”, “fluid” or “non-binary” refer to gender. "
Where in here does it say anything about why "
individuals or groups do not “fit” established gender norms"?
Leaving aside our exchange, regardless of what anyone thinks of that, this is a bloody silly thread I regret posting in lol
See you another time.
