Thank you for this post times a billion!

Funnily enough, around four nights ago, I was ranting about this to my friend who is a trans woman, and we both agree that this "Man/woman' are for describing gender, but 'male/female' are for describing sex, so trans women are women, but they're not female!" is performative shit that harshly showcases the energy of liberals trying to advocate for trans people but failing miserably in the process.

"Biologically male" and "biologically female" are also just transphobic euphemisms. There is no 'set' definition, even among biologists and geneticists, of what constitutes a "biological male/female." Multiple factors are considered to be aspects of sex, and that includes things that trans people can, and often do in fact, change, such as hormones, genitals, and secondary sex characteristics.

It's the strangest semantic hill for these people to die on, and I saw a trans man doing it that same four nights ago in an Instagram comment section, arguing so hard that he’s “biologically female but still a man,” even when people tried to validate the position that I’m validating now as a response to him insisting that he is a “biological female.” That’s what prompted me to talk to my trans friend about this.

There is no reason why we have to adhere to the weird gender/sex distinction other than giving a half-assed attempt at appeasing transphobes (half-assed because “Gender and sex are different!” isn’t even a satisfactory argument for them).

“Cis” and “trans,” at least for the time being, are good enough distinctions. We don't need convoluted shit like "Trans women are not female, but they're women!" or "Trans women are socially women but not biologically female!" If people can't be satisfied by "Trans women are women who happen to be trans, and they are also female." and "Cis women are women who happen to be cis, and they are also female." as the prime distinction, then that's their damn problem and not mine or any trans person's for that matter.

How does one change sex when they have no sex?

Twilight Sparkle would never say such a thing

I'm gay

I also don't feel like I have a male sex even though I did have it at one point. Sex isn't an immutable characteristic, most people with xy chromosomes in fact tend to lose the y with age, and my breast tissue produces a significant amount of estrogen, and I have been on it long enough to permanently depress my testosterone levels. If I somehow had to stop my meds it'd be bad for my bones but the t doesn't fully come back, and I have proof of it once after not having e for six months. I'm somewhere in between at this point in regards to sex, even without surgery imo

Gender is fuckin fake shit

I changed my sex this past year

Will pregnancy be abolished in the future with advancing technology or will it just become something anyone is able to do?

These are the real questions folks!

Thank you for this. The unicorn always made me feel kinda uncomfortable. I think it was a necessary step for my transradicalisation, but now I've surpassed the need for it.

think at this point the ironic bellcurve meme needs more Choppd n Screwed treatment

I haven't really heard about this before, kind of a foreign idea to me (hell, the idea of being trans is still a big shock to me). Idk, I am what I am. Wish I had a uterus and all the typically accompanying bits. How should we refer to male, female, and intersex anatomy? Like, I'm a girl with a ding dong so what what would I be referred to as?

Is that unicorn from something, I swear I've seen it before.
