The first is sex, in which case we should be talking about things like Turner's syndrome and XYY syndrome

Yes, and nearly all those cases do in fact cluster with one of the two "standard" genders. And the very rare exception to this are generally not the people who are claiming to be "transsexual".

The second would be coming up with a definition of gender, and seeing if it matches our definition of sex.

You can come up with whatever definition you want, I don't see why I should are about IffThen!gender.
