I personally know someone with this kind of issue. It is not rare and is often a motivator for someone to transition sexually. They will enter puberty as a male, and while they will not develop some manly characteristics(notably facial hair, penis size) and will appear androgynous, it cannot be said that they are biologically female. These people, even if unaware of their genetic problem, often feel a desire to be more like their "genetic sex" -how does a microscopic paragraph of writing determine these people as female, as opposed to a "pure male" who wishes to become female?

Someone else beginning sexual transition that is a normal XY can be considered biologically male, but quickly entering the social role of a female -and often already possessing the mindset and emotional states of a female. They cannot be said to be biologically female, but quite often in a year or less they are hardly male anymore. Do they fall outside of the rigid system? This is not uncommon at all anymore, and ostracizing people like this is inefficient as well as stupid.

The binary gender system simply cannot cover all of humanity. Even "born anatomically male" and "born anatomically female" are too rigid, sometimes. Just try to gauge people on a case-by-case basis.
