Woman- an adult human female
Female- of or denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of gametes (ova) that can be fertilized by male gametes.
No amount of personality differences can change what you are physically. A biological male can feel like they have personality traits and thought patterns of a female and vice versa, that doesn’t mean you ARE what you feel like. There are many days I feel like an 80 year old. That doesn’t mean I am really an 80 year old nor do I expect others to treat me as such.
For those who don’t feel themselves in their skin I sympathize I really do, but the solution should never be for others to make you feel better through affirmation and changing how they’ve spoken English for all their lives. We need to go back to therapy teaching self acceptance instead of rejecting who you are biologically.
When I was young there were many girls my age who were super thin and would starve themselves. They would go around saying “I’m so fat.” Or “I feel obese.” When they went to therapy, the solution was NEVER for other people to affirm their feelings. Imagine responding to them “yeah you’re right you are fat.” What solution would that have provided? Would that have helped their physical and mental state? No… Instead, they needed quality therapy and needed to relearn positive self image and self acceptance. Similarly, there are a group of people now, mostly younger people who are experiencing lots of physical changes. The experience can be jarring and scary. But just because you FEEL different doesn’t mean you are physically. It’s okay to be different, everyone is born with some quality that makes them different from the masses. The trick is to accept that part of yourself and move on with life without the need for others approval. A boy can do and feel girl things without having to shed his identity as a boy, same with a girl. It doesn’t help that there’s a social aspect of this, peers putting pressure whether by example or chastisement that if someone feels different then it’s a social imperative that they shed their identity and become something new. You don’t, test those “friends” out and see just how accepting they are when you choose not to transition.
At the end of the day, a man is a biological male and a woman is a biological female. No amount of how you feel on the inside will change the physical reality that you were born with. Trans or not you don’t have the right to enforce others to affirm a false reality. No one has that right
