Trans people exist. They are unusual so trying to apply the usual approximations is as silly as trying to apply Newtonian physics to objects close to light speed. Legislating such things is as insane as legally ruling that P=3. I hope this explains why I don't base my opinions on 9th grade biology.
Series of posts from ChristopherE: In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes including an X and a Y while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes. So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity. A reasonable conclusion... Fast forward 50 years... and it was discovered that some men had 47 chromosomes, including 2 X's and a Y while some women had 45, including only one X. Still no problem with the "Y chromosome defines masculinity" idea. Then... it was found that fully 1 in 300 men weren't 46 XY. Some women were. Oops. After DNA was discovered in the 1950s, it was found that the SRY gene, usually found on the Y chromosome, sometimes was missing. And sometimes had been translocated to the X chromosome, hence 46 X men and 46 XY women. So SRY defined masculinity. Then it was found out that some men didn't have an SRY gene, not anywhere. Some women did. Other genes were involved. Worse, other factors, such as androgen insensitivity made 46 XY people female, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia masculinized 46 XX people. Then in the 1970s, other syndromes, such as 5alpha-reductase-2 deficiency were identified, which caused babies to look one sex at birth, then the other sex at puberty. Worse, in some places, 1 in 50 infants had this natural sex change. It was not rare there. Science 1974, Dec 27, 186 (4170): 1213-5 In an isolated village of the southwestern Dominican Republic, 2% of the live births were in the 1970's guevedoces ... These children appeared to be girls at birth but at puberty sprouted muscles, testes, and a penis. For the rest of their lives they are men in nearly all respects. In the 90's, it was found that hormonal hiccups in the womb caused some parts of the body to develop as one sex, others as the other sex, regardless of genetics. Male-to-female transsexuals have female neuron numbers in a limbic nucleus. Kruiver et al J Clin Endocrinol Metab (2000) 85:2034-2041 The present findings of somatostatin neuronal sex differences in the BSTc and its sex reversal in the transsexual brain clearly support the paradigm that in transsexuals sexual differentiation of the brain and genitals may go in opposite directions. It's a matter of timing during foetal development. Sometimes a boy is born looking like a girl, sometimes a girl is born looking like a boy, regardless of chromosomes. This is complex stuff. We don't teach the theory of general relativity in grade school. Newtonian physics or at most Special Relativity (far simpler) is enough. Similarly "XX is female, XY is male" is good enough unless you do medicine or biology in college. It's really only relative when talking about trans or intersex people, just as relativistic effects only become relevant in the domain of the very big, very small, or very very fast close to 186,000 miles per second. People do *not* need psychiatric help when they think things get heavier, more massive as they go faster... while lengths contract. People do *not* need psychiatric help when they think their sex is something different from their genetics.

Why is it always Grindr and Pornhub dragged to a halt when Republicans gather?

Maybe, just maybe some certain political party is obsessed with transgender porn & trans peoples' genitals?

(HINT: The Charlie Kirk Memorial was the same day in Arizona also. Draw your own conclusions.)

All of you who demand loyalty to Newsom while ignoring that he's already thrown multiple marginalized communities under the bus... yes, you are morally bankrupt.

You want my vote in 2028? CHOOSE BETTER. Right now, as a trans person, there is no functional difference between Newsom & Trump.

Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader?

I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

Every single Democrat who says that trans people protesting or demanding more is a problem - YOU are the same people who would have disapproved of lunch counter sit-ins by POC in the 1960s or Dr. King's march on DC.

You're the white liberal who wants a "negative peace" more than true justice.

The Transgender Sports Issue
Recently, Pete Buttigieg tried to assert that the transgender sports issue is "complex" and that the voices of those who oppose trans girls in sports should be heard too. I suppose you could claim the issue is "complex" but there's already a great deal of scientific research about this that's complete. Some of the studies included large numbers of trans athletes too, so the results are something to think about. Let's look at a few of the largest of those studies. The US Air Force conducted two studies about transgender athletic performance, using transgender and cisgender service members.

This is a 5 hour video assembled by a cisgender man who wanted to understand the anti-transgender science. Instead, what he found was a massive conspiracy movement filled with hate & lies.

It’s long but give it to transphobes you know & ask them to watch the entire video.

Time to start a "Never Newsom" movement. Listen to trans folks, listen to the doctors, read the history of trans folks. They do NOT choose to be trans, cannot be groomed or indoctrinated to be trans. People CAN be groomed, indoctrinated, threatened into being evil, deliberately ignorant, bigoted!
