    Being trans myself, I will gladly tell you no one can change their biological sex yet (meaning, reproductive sex). I do hope science gets there though !

    I don’t even think anyone can change their gender ! Some people’s gender changes on its own, but I’ve just always been a woman ; and most trans people are like me.

    The thing we actually disagree about is whether someone’s gender and biological sex can be separate. But it’s just a scientific fact that they are.

      This is wrong.

      “Sex” is determined by myriad inter-related physical and chemical factors which are absolutely capable of changing.

      The view you are adding whatever credence being trans gives you to the discussion not only is incorrect it is adopted and propagated to back-justify oppression.

      Do not do that.

      A woman who was assigned female at birth and later lost her uterus to cancer wouldn’t stop being referred to as “female, late 40s” when her chart is being filled out by EMTs. The distinction you are attempting to hold up is meaningless to how “sex” gets used socially and epidemiologically.
