    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.

        just because of a wig and makeup

        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?

        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.

        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?

        If yes, why so? If no, why so?
