Nah, at least as far as I'm aware, at most when referring to people assumed to be XX you'd call them AFAB (assigned female at birth) and for likely-XY people you'd say AMAB (assigned male at birth).
There are quite a few other combinations of sex chromosomes (XXX, XXY, X, plus some others - you can basically keep adding Xs onto them up to a point) and people with those combinations often don't know they have them, so really it's hard to make too many assumptions about people's chromosomes anyway.
plenty of people without a Y chromosome aren't female tho
Yeah fr this seems accidentally transphobic

It's transphobic to conclude someone is female who does not identify that way because of their genetics.
But I think we all know you're an ally, this doesn't seem purposeful.
