This is becoming a whole debate in biology right now. It's impossible to define sex by chromosomes or physical attributes because of the amount of variation that happens. For example, someone who believes males are individuals with XY chromosomes must consider individuals with complete androgen insensitivity as male, though they often develop (and identify as) female. Even disregarding all this, we conflate "male/female" and "man/woman" so often that the point of assigning definitions to (1/2)

either sets of words becomes almost pointless. "Men" and "women" aren't biological terms, they are genders and therefore rooted in sociology. Defining "man" is different than defining "male."

Not even the end of it Sex is a spectrum. We humans love directly confining continuous biological processes into strict definitions when that’s not how continuous processes work. It’s like trying to define what a home is by physical appearance instead of function
