Honey, nobody claims that trans women are biologically identical to cis women or the other way around. Sex is not gender.
And chromosomal deviations is exactly what the PhD in the OP is talking about. You can call them medical conditions if you like, but that doesn’t change the fact that there are XY women and XX cis men.
Ok here I can see my lack in logic. I understood that the PhD was saying that XX can change into XY during the life of the person, not that they are born XY and naturally develop female traits.
My only pet peeve with all this is “misgendering” which I honestly despise. If one is a grown up 180cm male I’m never gonna call him a “her” just because of a wig and makeup.
But if someone was raised as a woman because that’s how her body developed even if she has XY chromosomes I won’t call her “he”.

Interesting.
What if they were 165cm, had the face and body and voice of a woman and you had no idea they were trans? Would you call them He if you found out?
Would you call a big burly bearded guy She after you found out they are a trans man?
Yes I would, in both cases. But I guess it would depend, if we were friends I might call them the way they want. But that is a favor as a friend, not something that I would accept be demanded from me
So what you’re saying is that if you don’t know the particular person, you will actively go out of way to be an asshole to them, but if they’re someone you care about, then you’d pretend to respect trans people enough not to intentionally fuck with them.

You specifically said you would actively misgender them, unless they’re your friend, in which case you “might” not actively go out of your way to do so. That’s a dick move, simple as.
And no, you can’t pretend that answer isn’t real by adding “I would never interact with or see a trans person” because that’s not how life works.
Because I’m selective with my friends and I don’t want any drama, and from my experience and what I keep seeing thsese king of people are all about atention.

Why do bigots always assume trans women can’t grow their own hair?
Is the assumption seriously that your average trans woman looks like a burly bearded man with a receding hairline?

Lovely.
No, I already said I’d simply avoid the person
No, you didn’t lmao

That’s unfortunate, why not be friendly to a stranger?
Why does someones chromosomal sex matter to you if you don’t want to have children with them?
Because I’m selective with my friends and I don’t want any drama, and from my experience and what I keep seeing thsese king of people are all about atention.
Really don’t want that in my life
