Lol. No. Also 'women' and 'people who don't accept that trans women are women' are not the same group. Also, if you want the right to refer to trans women as 'men', you might have to accept other people's right to refer to you as 'cis' or even 'TERF.'https://twitter.com/GreedyRosie/status/956636194917449735 …
Gender correlates closely with gonads but does not always define it. Good case study of a baby boy with a damaged penis. Doctors constructed a vagina for him & he was raised as a girl. He still always felt he was a boy. His brain told him so & neuroscience tells us how it did.

Because he was a boy, he was male with a damaged penis, not a female. This isn't making a point counter to mine, its reinforces it. It was a male 'trans female' by surgery and the choice of what sounds like horrifically misguided doctors (seriously WTF)- but clearly still a male

But it wasn't having a penis which made him know he was male. He didn't have one. It was other biological aspects of maleness which told him this - his brain told him. Trans people brains tell them the same thing & neuroscientists can see why it does.

Saying someone is 'really a man' when the biological indicators are ambiguous is not a rational, evidence-based position. Biological sex is not limited to gonads or chromosomes and brains and hormones are the things which make people actually 'feel' the gender they are.

Um actually yes. SEX is determined by genetics. The presence of a Y chromosome is indicative of a male. XXY Is still a male, as far as genetics is considered. Furthermore, having genetic defects make up less than 1% of the pop. Most trannies are not born with
