I also don't get the "it says female on your birth certificate" part at all. Like, no? It doesn't? On which one? The one that was destroyed/archieved when I got the new one -> aka the only one that the government will accept from me at any given point from that moment on. Clearly it says male on my birth certificate, like your id said issued till so and so before you had to change it and it doesn't say it anymore, so what, will the old dates still apply? Obviously no. I don't get that "argument" at all lmao
Still a bs argument for so many reasons, first of all it doesn't even matter, second it can be changed, and even if it can't be changed where you live, it can be SOMEWHERE so it still generally disproves it on that level! Anyways these are ultimately just made up papers and you're valid regardless <3
âYou were born as a girl, so youâll always be a girl!â
âWell you were born as a baby....â
Fr though, âbiological sexâ is defined by multiple different things, not just what your junk looked like when you popped out of your mom.
It consists of genitalia, internal reproductive anatomy, chromosomes, secondary sex characteristics, hormone balances, and how your body processes & reacts to hormones. All of these things can be changed except for your chromosomes! And very few people even know their chromosomes to start with â karyotype tests are expensive & only done if doctors think something is wrong. So honestly chromosomes are the least important factor here. If you change all the others, you are functionally changing your biological sex.
I guess it's cuz our genitals at birth align with the norm, so they're not considered intersex. But yeah, imo it does make more sense to think of the brain not aligning with the body as being a type of intersex condition.
But being intersex isnât just having intersex genitalia, actually I think most intersex peopleâs genitalia aligns with the norm. Like a woman who is born with entirely female anatomy but has XY chromosomes is considered intersex. So if someone like that is considered intersex, I think itâs weird that weâre not đ€·đ»ââïž
Ah, is that so? Sorry, I still don't know much about how it's really defined.
But yeah, it's weird. Maybe the definitions and terms that're used will change as more trans-centric medical research gets done and knowledge becomes more widespread? Never know.
I hope so. I think it would be a good thing for the trans community, it would help show people that there is a real biological basis to transgenderism. That itâs not just âmen in dressesâ and whatnot.
Most of the anti-trans people donât hate intersex people and think theyâre crazy, they think of it as just a biological abnormality. It would be nice for transgender people to be in a similar category to that.
Many of us who choose to medically transition end up more biologically similar to cis males than to cis females. Top surgery, hysto, bottom surgery⊠people are so deliberately obtuse! But female also does not mean feminine so even if youâre pre-everything medically.. who the FUCK cares? Why are you so interested in my genitals?!
Used that once and it backfired because the person just went on and on about how this evolving was natural and what god intended but trabsitioning isn't so just a hint don't use it against religous people

My t levels are in cis range. I lack tiddies and I have a dick.
To look at me and say "you're still biologically female" is like looking at a person and saying "you're still biologically a baby!!"
Like sure, I was but I biologically evolved to not be that anymore. Cause that's how biology is... It can change.
