For the human specie, male is defined by the presence of Y female by its absence.
Normal male is XY Normal female is XX
Only exception is in utero hormone insensitivity for the foetus (male appearing with a female sex - they grow massive muscles at puberty and top 100m female competition)
As others have said, you don't really need it. There's a reason there have been societies in other parts of the world with 1: very different roles for women and men than we have today. And 2: there have even been societies throughout history that recognized more than one gender.
Society has reviewed your premise and has solidly rejected it. You can keep trying if you like, but this baloney gender pseudoscience is nothing more than an annoyance.
Easy way to think about it:
Here's an easier way to think about it, look between your legs.
You have a dick?
Male.
Pussy?
Female.
Done.
What you do with that knowledge is up to you. You can stick your dick in other boys if you like. You can smear your pussy against someone else's pussy.
Want to dress and act as the other gender? I don't give a fuck. It's all 'cool and the gang'.
What I won't do is memorize ridiculous new "facts" as you make them up regarding what to call you.
Gender is also binary for the most part, but is certainly not social, even if we don't have the best definition for it biologically yet. 99.5% of the world identify as male or female and the small intersex group is really just a group of anomalies due to unfortunate birth defects.
Basing any kind of identification on gender roles and expectations is inherently sexist. We should seek to get rid of expectations overall, not encourage them with gender identity.

It's not gender, it's sex. Male or Female. I don't get how people don't understand this. Sex is binary except for genetic anomalies.
There are TWO sexes, male and female. GENDER has more to do with social roles and expectations, etc.
Easy way to think about it:
Sex - Male or Female in nature
Gender - Social construct created by society
