I have just been reading an article about a 22 year old who was 'an effeminate gay man' but decided 'to live life as a woman' and is pursuing a career as a drag queen as it gives them the 'opportunity to be my most authentic self, I can be crazy and wear cool outfits'.

Surely if you are transgender and now really are a woman you can't also be a drag queen?? It's one or the other! So sick of all it it, yes people can be their authentic selves but if there's no 'rules' how can anyone else know what's going on?

Many societies, across all human history and in present times, have acknowledged that there are several genders, and that they are not reduced to the presence or absence of whatever between the thighs.
There are dozens of combinations of X and Y chromosomes, 3.5% of the population is neither a simple XX nor a simple XY. That is a small percentage, but that represents over 200 million people world wide.
Gender is a societal construct and several indigenous amerindian societies recognised 4 or 5 genders.
People who dismiss it all as bullshit should look into themselves as to why they feel so strongly against that fact. "A person I deem to be a man should not have the right to declare himself to be anything else" is a declaration of insecurity, in a way.
What enables me to invalidate someone I don't even know?
Reducing womanhood to the ability to become pregnant is stupid and ignorant.
If you don't know any trans people, then maybe you should refrain from debating the topic.

And anyone with a Y is male. It really is that simple. Intersex is not a thing as I'm sure you know. And all DSDs are sex related. DSD Turner syndrome = woman. DSD klinefelters =man

Are they doomed to suffer,

That is entirely in their hands. If the only way to alleviate transwomen's suffering is to make women uncomfortable and unsafe then fuck that shit. Women can have boundaries and transwomen can take responsibility for their own feelings instead of outsourcing their mental health to women as if it isn't the height of entitled, arrogant male privilege to do so.

This ^

Women's spaces, all the women in those spaces, their oppression - bloody all if it required, no, demanded by a handful of men in order to be repurposed and utilised for their own needs and desires.

Fuck that shit indeed.
