How do we define biological sex?

Sex is defined by potential gamete production: If your body developed towards the production of small gametes, you're a male, and if your body developed towards the production of large gametes, you're a female.
"For example, males born with two X chromosomes and one Y are still males, as their bodies developed towards the production of small gametes. And females born with only one X chromosome are still females, as their bodies developed towards the production of large gametes."
Those who claim that sex exists on a spectrum take the variation of chromosomes, gonads, and hormones, and claim that this proves there are new sexes outside male and female.

However, biologists do not define sex in this way; they define sex through potential gamete production.
