      You said gender identity is "a biological reality. Observable". Well I say I don't have one, but you say you do. So there ought to be a biologically observable difference between people who have one and people who don't?

      So you think I am lying about my lack of gender identity? How would you be able to demonstrate that your interpretation is the correct one? If is an observable, biological reality?

      Ok so u believe I have this thing that's not observable, testable or perceivable. And I believe I dont. Like a discussion of whether we have a soul. This is the essence of a belief. I respect yr right to believe I have a gender identity. Do you respect my right to believe I dont?

      This theory leads to some strange conclusions. If the only thing that makes someone a woman is their gender identity, but gender identity is not observable in female women there is *nothing* you can learn about the nature of womanhood from studying female people....

      So the biological reality which you say defines womanhood (i.e. gender identity), can *only* be studied in those populations where it is observable i.e. transwomen

      Alternatively (and occam's razor suggests this pathway). You might conclude from the fact that there is a population of men with strong feelings of wanting to be viewed as women, that this is a real phenomena deserving of study & compassion

      ...but that drawing any conclusions about the biological reality of the large group "female people" from studying a much smaller group which does not overlap with it "male people who want to be treated as if they were female people" is unjustified

          The point is the groups "boys who are transgender" and "female children have no overlap or relationship. You say that the *only* thing that defines female children as as girls is their gender identity, but that this is unobservable in female children
