I'm having a nomenclature / definition issue.

Sex = whether you are male or female (X/Y) chromosome. Generally what people conflate with gender.

Gender = woman/man construct imposed by society about the intangible characteristics of males or females based on their sex.

The issue being that they're generally linked in most people's minds. Thus, most assume sex = gender, because for most people it is.

So, I might make the incorrect assumption that Elliot Page is a woman based on female physical characteristics. But he's not.

This is correct, right?
