Genuine question, if you’re trans doesn’t that definitionally mean that your identity is opposite of what you biologically are?Wouldn’t saying that a trans woman is the same as a woman contradict the definition of what a trans woman is?

I think trans just describes the gender switch then their preferred gender comes after. I’ve definitely been confused by the phrasing too. But in chem trans just describes the type of molecule as it currently is. Hope this helps!

afaik thats why ppl r trying to make a distinction between male/female & man/woman. male/female r supposed to be the biological terms that u cant change whereas man/woman r the gendered ones. so i think the thought process is that a trans woman would be a biological man but still a woman nonetheless

Separation of sex and gender. Sex is whatever your body is/was doing, gender is a societal status with societal expectations for how you should act/be. You can change your status by acting different, changing biology is not as easy, and sex is whatever your biology was at birth so you can’t change that so easily.

Changing legal sex depends on state and country it’s really more of a legal status because it really only describes what genitals you had at birth because they don’t check for intersex conditions unless it’s affecting the appearance of the genitals and biology can be effectively changed through hormone replacement therapy and surgeries.

By changing hormones you can very much so change what’s going on in your body, with surgery you can change how you look and almost anything reproductive except gaining the ability to give birth (and uterus transplants may allow that within the decade), can’t change chromosomes but never say never cause CRISPR is only getting better. Anyway tho, chromosomes are way less important than hormones when it comes to sex. That’s why there’s so many cis woman with XY chromosomes.

Please go on google and look up what CRISPR is and what it can do, because changing entire chromosomes for a full sex change is totally impossible in adults, and changing it in children inside the womb wouldn’t make sense nor would it be ethical
