Notice that the headline and the story both assume the gender confused person is a woman.

The idea that gender is primarily a psycological phenomena is a strange and recent concoction.

Chromosomes aren’t confused.

Yes it is — and the concoction was a strategic move. By altering the language so, “they” make rational discussion impossible.

I’m fine with “gender” being used to to label social-psychological phenomena. It becomes a big problem, however, when the term is used do describe certain biological phenomena. IOW, “gender” is social-psychological; and “sex” is biological. Conflating the two has made it impossible to discuss (e.g.) bathroom policies rationally.
