There is a difference between sex and gender.
Yes we know.
Some people's align, other people's don't. Some people are biologically female, and their gender doesn't match that and vies versa. Some people don't have a gender.
Some people are female but prefer to present themselves in a stereotypical male way and likewise some people are male but feel more comfortable presenting as more feminine. However neither of these things means that they are really males/females stuck in a female/male body . It simply means that are feminine males or masculine females.
You don't actually seem to understand what gender is. Sex is biological but gender simply refers to the stereotypes, behaviours and traits that society expects of us as a result of whether we're male or female.
He was actually a male in a female body.
How does that work then?
Yes, when he started presenting as male he felt a lot better.
You mean when he started presenting himself in a more masculine way.
You cannot present yourself as a male because male refers to sex and has nothing to do with how you present yourself.
You cannot change your sex.
I remember he didn't want to go to our prom because of all the dressing up, etc. until we suggested he wear a tux, and it was amazing to see him so comfortable.
Why did being a girl mean you had to dress up? Why did your friend have to identify as male in order to wear a tux? Could they not have just been a girl who didn't want to dress up and wanted to wear a tux instead?
I have another friend who is biologically a female but they don't have a gender.
Nobody has a gender because gender is a social construct. Again, you don't seem to actually understand what gender is.
I reject gender as a concept because it is a load of made up damaging crap however I am still a woman because that is what my biology tells me I am.
I also see a lot of people on here ranting about trans people and they literally only care about transwomen.
Because transwomen are the ones who are stamping their feet and throwing tantrums about being allowed in women's spaces. I literally cannot think of a single high profile transman but I can think of several high profile transwomen.
Genuinely, what has happend to you that you feel so threatened at the thought of someone with a penis being the same gender as you?
First of all, please go look up what the word gender means because you're making yourself look daft.
Second of all, I don't want people with dicks sharing my female spaces because I have been both raped and sexually assaulted. HTH.
Stop ranting about how men are going to use it as an excuse to perv on your kid in a changing room
If you're a pervy man and all you have to do in order to be allowed into the female changing room is fill in a form and/or say the words "I am a woman" then why wouldn't you jump at the chance? Genuine question btw.
Gender is evolving all the time there are no definitive rules to being a man or a woman.
Well you're correct in the sense that your sex shouldn't stop you from being interested in whatever you want or wearing whatever you want, but someone with XY chromosome will always be a man and someone with XX chromosomes will always be a woman.
For every thing that you think being a woman is, there will be a woman who disagrees with you.
A woman is simply someone with XX chromosomes. Nothing more and nothing less.
You say that being a woman means having a uterus - does that make people who've had theirs removed for medical reasons not women?
No. It makes them women without uterus's.
If being a woman means the ability to have babies then does that mean infertile women aren't women?
It makes them infertile women.
If you think being a man is the ability to grow facial hair does that mean that men who can't aren't men?
A man is simply someone with XY chromosomes.
A man who can't grow facial hair is exactly that.
I read about a woman who had poly cystic ovaries and had a luxurious, thick beard and moustache as a result. Does that mean she is a man or less of a woman?
She is a woman with excessive facial hair as a result of polycystic ovary syndrome.
Seriously, we've come a long way from being a woman meaning you're your husband's property and having to squirt out babies and clean your whole life. Why are you so determined to go backwards?
So let me get this straight; trans idealogy says that if a boy likes pink and dolls then he must be a girl rather than simply accepting him as a boy who likes pink and dols yet we're the ones who want to go backwards?
Righto then.
open your mind enough to at least try and understand the issue
If you open your mind too much your brain will fall out.
