Gender as separate from sex is not a thing. Those links are supposed medical professionals (there is no evidence a medical professional wrote that feces, actually) who should know better spinning in circles and bending backwards to contort reality to fit "how cultural groups see themselves", apparently referring to the one mass-deluded cultural group that invented the concept of sex-independent gender.

>science

What you call "Science^TM", I actually call a bunch of ideologically motivated sophistry with no hard evidence behind it. Science isn't based purely on authority, a bunch of "Science^TM" organisations spouting nonsense on their public facing web page doesn't make the nonsense science, it just reduces the organisations' credibility.

>politeness

Politeness is just what true believers call conformity. Its not a good trait to be polite to delusions.

I also find it amusing you invoke politeness on what is supposedly to be a factual matter. Is it a matter of "politeness" to say the earth is round?

Science has prestige nowadays, so many people (including many actual scientists!) are motivated to associate unrelated ideological positions with it in order to exploit that prestige for the benefit of those other positions. IMHO, when someone says something like "I believe in Science," they're usually talking about that unrelated ideological stuff.
