Sexual identity is psychological.
Gender is physical.
Can people not figure that out?

Maybe so, but sexual identity is based on biology, not mental ideas or emotions. Only mentally ill people, especially those influeced by evil mentally ill people, imagine they are the opposite sex. It’s a catching disease, not genetic.

I disagree. Sexual identity is biological. The easiest determination is if you have an "outie" you're a male. There is no such thing as "gender" when referring to living beings. Gender refers to parts of speech or inanimate objects. Living things have sexes. And a living thing's sex is determined by biology. For humans, if you have a Y chromosome, you are a male. (May be some very rare xxxy or xxxxxy type mutations where it becomes a more difficult choice, but in general the rule stands)
