You might be thinking yeah but come on, men are men, women are women, it's ridiculous to define people's gender by anything other than biological sex. And for the vast majority of us that's absolutely true. In 1pc or less of people, it isn't. We should be able to manage this.

This "debate" is one where what is described as gender critical feminism & right wing religious fundamentalism meet. They may have nothing else in common but they believe exactly the same thing about the primacy of biological sex. It's black & white for them. No grey areas.

Fundamentalism is always wrong. It's wrong here too. Nobody denies the existence of biological sex. Trans men without a full hysterectomy can get cervical cancer. Trans women can be at risk of prostate cancer. No-one suggests trans people change their entire biology.

So when you hear these arguments recognise them for what they are - not "pro-science". Medical science does not question the validity of those who develop a different gender identity. It's actually an argument to strip trans people of every legal right & protection they have.

What are you on about? Medical science is clear there are two genders: Male and Female. Basic biology. End of. A small number castrate patients in the belief this trade off will alleviate the distress of their delusion.

I think you mean two sexes and if so you are right. Gender is no longer used interchangeably with sex when talking about humans. Gender now refers to how people wish to be perceived, mostly in terms of recognisable stereotypes.

It's the central point! Sex and gender are not inter-changeable. failing to understand the significance of this indicates a level of ignorance of the key issue.

It is gibberish. That is the point. Live as you will, and do not seek to force others to accept. People do not being pressured into accomodating the behaviour of others they find uncomfortable or odd.
