34. Transgender individuals are individuals who have a gender identity that does not
match the sex they were assigned at birth. A transgender man’s sex is male and a transgender
woman’s sex is female.

((Note: I am not a lawyer, so I am not going to comment on anything specific this implies, beyond I’m pretty sure this is Official Words Coming From The DoJ which I’m pretty sure can be, you know, cited as an argument in any court cases anywhere and stuff. I think. (If a Real Lawyerperson wants to weigh in that would be great.))

Gender Identity and Its Relationship to Sex
30. Individuals are typically assigned a sex on their birth certificate solely on the
basis of the appearance of the external genitalia at birth. Additional aspects of sex (for example,
chromosomal makeup) typically are not assessed and considered at the time of birth, except in
cases of infants born with ambiguous genitalia.
31. An individual’s “sex” consists of multiple factors, which may not always be in
alignment. Among those factors are hormones, external genitalia, internal reproductive organs,
chromosomes, and gender identity, which is an individual’s internal sense of being male or
female.
32. For individuals who have aspects of their sex that are not in alignment, the
person’s gender identity is the primary factor in terms of establishing that person’s sex. External
genitalia are, therefore, but one component of sex and not always determinative of a person’s
sex.
33. Although there is not yet one definitive explanation for what determines gender
identity, biological factors, most notably sexual differentiation in the brain, have a role in gender
identity development
