I mean, we could just review the plethora of literature available that discusses the differences between sex, gender, and sexual orientation and how they do not necessarily match with each other.

Here is less than 1% of the literature I could pull that discusses the differences between sex, gender, and sexual orientation. It dates back over 40 years where the sciences have been recognizing this.
