Do pronouns feel alien to anyone else?

Do you think trans women do not face discrimination, prejudice or oppression due to their bodies, or the stereotypes and expectations imposed on them as either "men" or "women" alike?

@SeldomHere because those with XY chromosomes are, as a sex class, generally larger, stronger, and more likely to commit violent crime.

As an XX, I don't want to be around that when vulnerable/naked/unwell/playing sports

And when someone digs our skeleton up in 100,000 years, they will be able to identify which sex we were - male or female.

Yes, with a high degree of accuracy which would be odd if our body types were not connected to being of the female sex.

Why should whatever is "encoded in our cells" matter in our everyday lives?
The fact that you are even asking this tells me you are either male or a young, impressionable female with little life experience.

If you got periods for 5-6 days every month you probably wouldn’t ask this question …

Which part of genetics are you referring to? Chromosomes?

It does, actually. Sex is a sum of components, and altering the components that make up one's sex, alters one's sex.
You are aware of genetics? Or perhaps not...

It really does appear to have passed you by entirely.

See my next post, which I was busily typing.

Even if we’ve had a hysterectomy.

Cool, so what's the big deal? Does "being on small/large gamete producing pathway" need constant emphasizing?

Yes. It means you are a male or a female human. Female humans, aka women and girls, have faced discrimination, prejudice and oppression due to their sexed bodies and the stereotypes and expectations around them. By male humans. Glad you get it, sort of.

What did you say?

You can change some secondary sexual characteristics. This is not the same as changing sex. If you were born male you will never be female.

Okay you are completely and utterly detached from reality.

Sex is not a sum of components. It's not about genitals or hormones. It's about which of the reproductive roles your body developed to fulfil. Whether you advanced down the pathway more to producing ova or sperm, whatever your individual ability to do so. Sex is about gametes and reproductive role, and it's encoded in every cell. Because we are animals in evolutionary terms, whatever card castles of preposterous sophistry we occupy our privileged human selves with.

So if a biological man has cosmetic surgery to impersonate being a woman, does he need to inform future sexual partners (I.e biological men) ?
Surely this raises consent issues. Biological men need to know they’re having sex with a biological man and not a “woman”.

So if a transwoman is actually a woman and can become female what words are there to describe biological females?
Because if trans women are women and can become female then woman and female are both gender terms.

Men are XY chromosomes and women are XX. That's it.

I don't say that.

You have done all the things I outlined though.

Like you do when you project nonsense on us like the supposed belief that "feminine men must be women"?

What are you talking about?

It does, actually. Sex is a sum of components, and altering the components that make up one's sex, alters one's sex.

You can't alter the key parts. A man will always only have been on a small gamete producing pathway regardless of whether he gets injected with female hormones, lasers his facial hair, has his penis removed etc.

I know it's not what some people want to hear and I hope they can find peace with being the embodied person that they are but medical advances do not have the ability to put a man on a large gamete producing pathway so they will never change sex.

That can be OK though as it does not speak to their identity.

Having a hysterectomy changes your sex? I'll tell my mum. Or do I mean my new dad? Not sure how she'll take it, having been a woman for many many years.

Nope, that's not what I said.

These still mean that they are women, become female, and/or are female on account of their gender identity.
