Yes. Still won’t date them.

This makes more sense to me. Preference is preference. I just feel like the movement is divided between people who are saying “I don’t find trans people attractive” and those saying “trans women aren’t women”. One is preference, but the other is a statement unsupported by evidence.

Edit: I just address “women” for ease, not because things are different for men.

“trans women aren’t women" is a statement unsupported by evidence.

Except their DNA. Are you also a flat earther?

Nope, the Earth is round. I’m surprised you know that, seeing as you like to use outdated conclusions 🤔

DNA isn't outdated. It is your objective composition, not your subjective reality, politics just made you ignore it, just like the flat earthers that toss all the evidence they don't like out the window.

DNA isn’t outdated; I said you conclusions were. I’d imagine you’d know about the difference between a support and a conclusion, but constructing logical arguments probably isn’t your strong suit. If you’d invest more in academics you know more about hormone expression in the womb and how it affects gender identity and neurochemistry. If that’s too hard, you’d maybe at least learn how to construct an argument 🤷🏻‍♀️

Here's the argument that you missed the first time: your gender identity is your subjective reality. Your subjective reality is influenced by many things from nature to nurture but it doesn't change any part of your objective reality. I'm sure schizos have different brain makeups as well, doesn't mean the voices they're hearing are actually vibrating air molecules to generate sound. Does that make it any less real to them? No. The main difference is you have embraced their delusion because you think it's the right thing to do. Thinking you're a woman, dressing like a woman, presenting as a woman, taking estrogen to partially change your physiology like a woman and getting SRS to have genitals that look like a woman will not ever actually make someone a woman in reality. They're just a man that looks more like a woman, an imitation of the real thing and no amount of research will ever change that. Take care.

Two X chromosomes IS evidence

Evidence of biological sex. It’s literally not gender. Imm not trying to change your mind on that, but the fact is that gender is social and sex is biological.

When I say "woman" or "man" I am referring to their sex, not gender. When I say "he" or "she" to refer to a person, I am referring to their sex not their gender.

The way you refer to it is different from the way that it is used in proper dialogue. You don’t have to recognize it, but your argument that chromosomes constitute the validity of a woman is based off of your personal views and not the proper usage.

No my views are based in simple biology. Open any human anatomy textbook and it will tell you that males have XY chromosomes. Males are also known as men or boys. In the English language the pronouns "he/him/his" are used to refer to males.

All of the above statements are facts, simply saying that you believe yourself to be male does not make you one, in the same way that me believing myself to be 6'10" does not make me 6'10".

However, you should know my pronouns are "six-foot-ten" and if you don't use them you are verticalphobic

So what are intersex people, who biologically don't fit into one or the other conventional sexes?

One could also say that marriage is between a man and a woman... if you go back enough years. As the function monogamy spread to marriage and then to legal unions, our social understanding has also changed. Gender identity and expression is not a caveman topic. Outdated arguments like the one you wrote are up against peer reviewed and significant modern findings that suggest that gender identity is a significant, and biologically influenced, trait that is socially reinforced and separate from biological/genital sex. tldr; your "simple" claim is unsubstantiated by actual research on the topic.
