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?

@Burke17 says, regarding XXY, X0, and other unusual chromosome combinations
Those supposedly existing combinations don't occur at a statistically significant amount. In fact, there is some debate about the validity of them. In terms of math, and significance, XX and XY are the correct answers.

I get it! According to your "logic,"
☸ Geniuses don't exist because they're statistically insignificant!
☸ 7'+ people who excel at basketball don't exist because they're statistically insignificant!
☸ Billionaires don't exist because they're statistically insignificant!
☸ Centenarians don't exist because they're statistically insignificant!

@NerdyPotato Nice work with the elements necessary for life! In fact, on the scale of the universe, life itself doesn't exist, according to @Burke17's argument, because it's statistically insignificant!
