The question is on what basis does someone decide that a boy with “feminine” behaviour is female?
The boy/girl gets to decide not you or your far right fellow travellers.
You cant decide what sex you are.

What Max is doing, whether he knows it or not, is rehearsing the core principle of the trans rights movement.

The idea is this:

“We can’t actually know what sex people are, and it’s rude to even guess. Therefore, sex is a social construct, not a reality. So if someone tells you they’re a girl, then there’s no reasonable grounds on which to say they aren’t”

The implications of it are far reaching - eg, the current controversy about the EHRC is because the proposal to clarify that the protected characteristic “sex” refers to actual sex, rather than gender identity, would enshrine your (correct) assertion that people can’t choose their sex in law.

Convincing.
I'm not trying to understand what you think because I already do. I just derive perverse pleasure from winding you up on your specialist subject but yet you bite and greedily bite every time.

Not really. This is by far the easiest. I'm feeling a bit bad about it now.

As opposed to your anecdotes. Where no experts are required. Which goes along the lines of

" I knew some adults who made a decision to become men. Realised they made a mistake, blamed their life changing decision on somebody else and I've been howling at the moon ever since"

Good to see some sports changing their rules recently to prevent unfairness.

Fairness trumps inclusion imo. Competitions have to be fair or they don't work.

“Inclusion” has been reframed as an always positive term, when exclusion is sometimes completely legitimate, and a desirable fact.
In this instance, it’s a demand that the more powerful/strong/fast group (males) be included in the female category.

While in fact, including gender non conforming males in the male category, is actually an act of inclusion that asks something of *males*, ie, that we include non masculine men as being like us
