Gender != Sex. And there are more than 2 sexes too, because, it turns out, intersex people exist.
Biology is exciting, and interesting, if you bothered to actually learn something about it.
Gender isn't biology, and human biology is binary either.
"The human body is binary, except when it's not binary"
Note that the definition says that biology informs, but does not define, gender. In fact, arbitrary is part of the definition. Further, dictionaries give us introductions to words, not a concrete and unchanging lexigraphical mandate
Gender != sex. It's ok, thinking can be difficult.

You're thinking of sex (only not even, since intersex people exist), not gender. Gender is socially constructed
It's not even true for sex. Intersex is a huge spectrum.
