Why are people saying trans women are female and trans men are male?

Gender dysphoria is a real condition related to gender and sexuality. While trans women and trans men are women and men socially, neurologically and legally. They are not biologically the opposite sex. So why say they are? You can respect someone’s gender identity but still believe biological facts as well.

That’s like saying someone like me who an intersex woman is 100% female woman. I’m biologically a hermaphrodite sure I have a woman’s body and brain but mixed gonads and karyotype. I identify as a woman and live as a woman I’m mostly female and everyone treats me like a female but I’m a little bit male because my biology says so. Regarding biology doesn’t take away from my gender, but I’m still intersex. Why is stating science now considered transphobia?

I think I followed what you wrote.

How would you define transphobia exactly..?

@greencompass That's not the topic. The topic is that apart from a tiny (almost zero) portion of humans that have DNA anomalies with their gender coding, DNA defines a person's gender as either male or female and that cannot (without any science currently available) be changed. So if a male chooses to assume female gender, and vice versa, they are not actually those 'assumed' genders. Likewise if a person chooses to assume 'non-binary' (ie. no defined gender) their DNA still defines if they are actually male or female.
