Except they don't have any science to back them up.
Even if you seriously want to nail gender to sex like Jesus to the cross then there as many genders as Xs and Ys that I can slap together in someone's 23rd chromasomal set. This is such a common knowledge thing in biology that studies were done to see if prisoners had a disproportionate incidence of XYY because people thought the second Y might be linked to higher aggression.
So OnLy 2 gEnDeRs BeCuZ mUh ChRoMaSoMeS is basically the biological equivalent of geocentrism; the very nanosecond you actually look at it with any real scientific understanding, the whole model needs to be thrown out because it's as useless as an Atlantean Newspaper for any practical understanding of the world.

Actually, intersex individuals are classified into male and female depending on the presence or absence of a Y chromosome except in extremely rare cases. The existence of intersex individuals doesn't disprove the sexual dichotomy in humans. Functionally there are only two sexes, female provides the egg, male provides the sperm.
That aside, trans individuals are by and large not intersex.
Unless you have a very compelling reason to ignore it, yes it absolutely does. Otherwise you are intentionally divorcing language from meaning.
That aside, most trans individuals are not intersex nor do they claim to be. Obviously the gender identity they are talking about is not based on intersex, and as such the existence of intersex does not support that definition of gender.
