The term includes the idea that there is a vast 62 spectrum of genders that are disconnected from a person's sex. 63 The term is internally inconsistent in that it diminishes sex as 64 an identifiable or useful category but nevertheless maintains 65 that it is possible for a person to be born in the wrong sexed 66 body. 67 (g) "Sex" means the classification of a person as either 68 female or male based on the organization of the body of such 69 person for a specific reproductive role, as indicated by the 70 person's sex chromosomes, naturally occurring sex hormones, and 71 internal and external genitalia present at birth. 72 (2) It is the policy of this state that a person's sex is 73 an immutable biological trait and that it is false to ascribe to 74 a person a pronoun that does not correspond to such person's 75 sex.
