"Still, I wonder what the family of the deceased think of all this."
They either fall in the: "there's nothing we can do to change this" camp, of the "we need someone to blame to make sense of this" camp. When I was a journalist in court rooms, those were the two main camps.
The troll is strong with this one.

My partner also cannot grasp the concept that just because someone has a penis does not mean they are a man.
Caitlyn has been taking hormones and the like to transition to female, and she is technically female now. Similarly, Chazz Bono took the necessary hormones and the like to transition to male, and Chazz is technically male now (even though he still has a vagina). By placing your decision to call someone male or female solely on anatomy is (I believe to be) incorrect.
We are all learning so much about this process from this show, and I truly find it fascinating.

If your definition of man is "someone who has a penis" and woman is "someone who has a vagina" then I think you need to alter the way you define men and women because that is clearly not accurate.

yea, but you are giving examples of the exceptions and you know it.
male: of or denoting the sex that produces small, typically motile gametes, especially spermatozoa, with which a female may be fertilized or inseminated to produce offspring.
You are mixing sex and gender. Gender is a societal creation. A person's anatomy determines sex. A person's brain determines gender.
