If you couldn't look at the little chart in that article and figure out the whole thing is about how gender isn't that simple, that's on you. As a side note, most things are more complicated than people who aren't in the field think they are. When that field is biology or society, it is almost always much more complicated than people think they are. If you don't want to take the time to educate yourself on those things before forming your opinion, it will probably be the simple, and wrong, answer.
