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?

Dna says if a person is male or female - not 'feelings'.

@zonavar68 And those with XXY chromosomes? Or XXXY? or X0? And those with absorbed twin syndrome or other forms of genetic mosaicism?

How does your DNA method classify these people??

@ElwoodBlues Transgender people do not have those anomalies normally - they are XX or XY people and deciding to be another 'assumed gender' doesn't change what their DNA coding specifies.

@zonavar68 You've checked the chromosomes of every transgender person? Including testing multiple tissues for absorbed twin syndrome or other forms of genetic mosaicism?

@ElwoodBlues Do you have any scientific evidence to say that DNA can change in cells of a living human based an 'assumption' of a gender ?

So I'll take that as a NO, you did NOT check and DNA of ANY transgender people, and certainly didn't test multiple tissues for absorbed twin syndrome or other forms of genetic mosaicism. We actually know very little about how common genetic mosaicism is.

Nope. Do you have any scientific evidence that sexual;ty depends entirely on DNA and nothing else?

BTW, a 2019 paper states that same-sex sexual behavior in animals has been observed in over 1,500 species.

If homosexual behavior is so common in the animal world, why not transgender behavior as well? Why do you assume all gendered behavior depends entirely on DNA??
