But without being tested you're just assuming like everybody else.

But you haven't had your genes tested, right? So if not, then you don't know if you are XY for another version of know.
For know as justified true belief you don't know if you are XY, unless you have been tested.

Whatever exactly I said that is a gross misrepresentation.
As well as unrelated to my post there.
Some reason you are behaving this way?
If an assumption is all that is necessary for me to be 100% certain, then I know based on an assumption
Even if I did, why should I trust the person doing the testing?
Testing is not required for me to know
I determine what I find justifiable; not you.

Yeah, that works for the subjective but not quite the same for the objective, if you want to believe in that. Now you don't have to, as you can go for different versions of solipism, but in practice you don't, because you have used examples of objective yourself.
So you are just using a double standard for objective.

The part I put in boldface seems to contradict the claim that sex is binary. The different "shades" of intersex categories can have any names we choose to give them, and specialists who study intersex produce names for categories that make sense to them. However, it is important not to confuse the biological concept of intersex individuals with sexual orientation and gender dysphoria, which may have nothing to do with the gonads that one is born with.
Gender pronouns can be be confusing, because they represent an arbitrary social distinction that can change over time. As I've pointed out before, different languages have different conventions regarding gender reference, but we've just been discussing English conventions here. Some languages make more distinctions and some fewer. English is not as bad as most European languages in terms of forcing speakers to make gender choices that may not comport with reality. The problem is that social and linguistic conventions do not always match up ideally with the real world.
You can find this information on the internet without me having to cut and paste it here. I suggest you start with Wikipedia's page on Intersex. There are a lot of names for categories that are more specific to the male and female ends of the scalar range, but some (for example, "true hermaphroditism") are neither. If you look under the Prevalence section, you'll find a table that also gives statistics on prevalence in the general population.
Again, we need to be careful not to confuse intersex conditions with sexual orientation, which is orthogonal to biological sexual characteristics. Gender dysphoria is not just about intersex individuals.

I've never claimed to have provided objective evidence; even though I believe I could if I wanted to, in cases like these subjective evidence is all that is necessary for myself

Which is called "blind belief".
Do you inspect every nut, bolt, and cable of a car before driving it? Do you check the pilot’s credentials before getting on a plane? Just because I haven’t covered every single base does not mean I’ve covered no bases at all. No my friend, my belief is not blind at all

No, but whether the car can drive as such, somewhat or not, is not dependent on what you believe.
The same with whether you are XY or not.
Now if I were to guess, you are XY, but that is not evidence, since not all males are XY.
Even I could be XYY without knowing it. The chance of that is not great, but it is not zero. So that you are subjectively confident is not the same as a justified true belief for knowledge.
Who cares??? I think knowing if all of the nuts, bolts, and wiring of a car are good is far more important than knowing if I am XY or XYY.

Cars don't have legal status as citizens, who are supposed to be treated equally and fairly by the government. If they have mental or physical conditions that separate them from the norm, that shouldn't matter. That's why we care.
Wrong, cars do have legal status and their scrutiny is far more complex than citizens. If the nuts bolts and wiring is defective on a car it is illegal to drive it because it is a danger to not only the driver but anyone nearby
There are laws against treating people with mental and physical conditions unfairly. Your argument fails
There are laws against treating anyone unfairly.

If that's true my sister would have been charged with negligence whem her Camero died due to her failing to get the oil changed.
I said nuts, bolts, and wiring; not oil.

The oil is just as important as the nuts and bolts.

Well, cars don't have legal status by themselves, because they act like that. Legal is a human construct about good and bad in a sense as per your danger.
As for cars being more complex that humans, how do you know that?
