Birth biology?
You do understand it's impossible for a biological woman to become a biological man, don't you?

A transgender person, or any person, can have whatever gender presentation they wish. It doesn't change their biology. Not their "birth biology" but their actual biology.[/quote]

You’re calling it gender presentation, but to others it’s about more than presentation, it’s about identity. The point is that biology isn’t determinative for some people.  The biological male/female dichotomy is not absolute anyway. There has always been biological ambiguity among humans in nature: people who are xxy, born with ambiguous genitalia, etc. Even biology is more nuanced than you want to accept. Open your mind. If someone was born xy and developed a male body but feels she’s  is a woman and that body doesn’t reflect who she is, has medical treatments to feminize her body, lives as a woman and is attracted to women, why be an ass and insist she cannot consider herself a woman and a lesbian? What is it to you? How does it threaten you? Why do you get to define who’s a woman and who’s a lesbian?[/quote]

Biology isn't determinative about gender presentation for anyone. Women don't break out into hives if they wear pants. Men don't run a fever if they don a dress.

There are intersex people, yes. That is not transgender. And intersex people aren't anymore proof that humans aren't biologically male and female than that someone born without one or more legs is proof that humans aren't two legged mammals.

A child born without two legs is still a human. A woman who feels more comfortable presenting a masculine face to the world is still biologically a woman. A person born intersex or with other chromosomal abnormalities is still a human.

I'll also tell flat earthers they're idiotic science deniers, so no one should feel too special.

You can call yourself whatever you want. I'll agree with you when it's a matter of preference - e.g. your name, your pronouns - but I'll be damned if I agree that the earth is flat or that someone can change their biology or that their biology determines how they appear. Women have fought too hard for equal rights to let gender or biological essentialism nose its way back into the tent now.[/quote]
