I somewhat disagree with your definitions.

Here, I wrote a concise post on this :

https://curiousphilosophy.substack.com/p/sex-and-gender-very-quickly

I don't understand "Sexual identity and preference are personal, psychological, and based primarily on gender". It seems confusing based on your 2 first definitions to mix up sex and gender like that. Should either be gender identity or the simplest definition of gender would be "a synonym for sex". Though I wouldn't agree with either version.

I agree with your last sentence "There are as many versions as there are people who have thought about it." And I am one of them ah ! Though not all opinions are equally valid, like I said in my post, there are objective truths and I can't take seriously those who deny them.

sex - biology

gender - social, based on biology

related identities - individual, based on both biology and society
