transwomen become medically induced intersex, and thus are as much women as any intersex person identifying as a woman. So in some ways they are a biological woman.

I mean politically we are women, because most transwomen fit more into the women catagory than anything else. We don't need to create an othering 3rd sex situation for trans people. They are just transitioning to the other sex. I realize that this is complicated by the people who obviously don't transition sex, I'm talking about "le trutrans" trans person: on hrt, getting surgeries etc.

Before woke 1.0 happened, trans women existed in womens spaces without problems because the only transwomen in womens spaces were... obviously women. This includes womens sports and bathrooms and the like. It would be dangerous for a woman to compete with men in many sports which is why transexual women shouldnt be in some 3rd all sex catagory or something. They shouldnt be exposed to male aggression or sexuality without protection the same way as women.

It was only until gay woke got out of control and started having really problematic age 40+ baby trans barge into womens spaces that it became an actual issue (and it has nothing to do with the culture war, it is an actual issue having people like that in womens spaces)

I realize there isn't a clean solution that has been found yet on where to draw the line of whos not just a woman but FEMALE, but before the culture war we had common sense stuff like hormonal profiles for sports that worked pretty well with very little controversy.
>>
>>44009469
They're not women. Chromosomes influence the body in thousands of different ways, from the ways drugs are metabolized, to the ways organ function, to body composition, pain perception etc. etc. Chromosomes are the foundation that can only be modified by hormones to a degree. Even when the hormones are at the same level in animals of different sexes in experiments, males and female biology STILL operate differently.
Transwomen are not women but a separate category. There IS a clean solution, and it's that they are third gender.
>>
>>44009591
>Chromosomes influence the body in thousands of different ways
if you think chromosomes are this magical woo woo thing that is all powerful in terms of body function you are simply just not educated enough to have this conversation. Chromosomes are important, but there DSD that aren't caused by chromsomes. If babys with normal genetics can develop vaginas than the body is simply more complicated than "chromsomes". You have been fed a bunch of politically motivated nonsense about biology that is not reflected in the actual science. 3rd gender is intentionally obtuse and certainly transphobic.

sex chromosomes do not do that
there is no practical biological difference between the cells and tissues of a trans woman and the tissues of a cis woman
biologically, trans women are in general much closer to cis women than to cis men. This is only not the case if you change the meaning of "biological" to "genetic" or "at birth" or something

chromosomes are bundles of genes. Genes influence the body
the only genetic difference between men and women are the Y chromosome, and you can look up what genes it has. Mostly it does stuff related to testicles and sperm. Other than literally the testicles and sperm genes and the "release testosterone" gene, men and women are genetically the same. There is no "male liver gene", for instance.

Hormones do not float freely in a vacuum; they attach to receptors inside cells, and those cells are programmed by either XX or XY chromosomes.

When researchers change hormone levels without considering the underlying chromosomes, treatments often produce unexpected results.

Receptors and Blueprints
For a hormone like estrogen to work, it must bind to an estrogen receptor. The density, placement, and behavior of these receptors are programmed directly by genetics.

Brain Regulation: Research shows that the same dose of estrogen activates entirely different gene networks in XX brain cells compared to XY brain cells.

Metabolic Response: When exposed to high-fat diets, XX and XY cells respond differently to metabolic hormones, changing how fat is stored and burned regardless of circulating estrogen levels.

The "Four Core Genotypes"
DiscoveriesTo separate hormone effects from chromosome effects, scientists developed the "Four Core Genotypes" (FCG) mouse model. This allows researchers to compare:
XX animals with ovaries
XY animals with testes
XX animals with testes
XY animals with ovaries
These groundbreaking studies proved that chromosomes independently dictate health outcomes. For example, even when hormone levels are identical, having two X chromosomes inherently increases the severity of autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis and elevates blood pressure during stress.The X-Inactivation FactorIn XX individuals, one X chromosome is supposed to be turned off in each cell to keep gene doses equal to XY individuals. However, up to 15% of genes on the silenced X chromosome escape this shutdown. Many of these escaping genes regulate how cells respond to hormones, creating a unique cellular environment that an XY body cannot replicate, even if given female hormones.
>>
>>44009877
>and those cells are programmed by either XX or XY chromosomes
if those cells aren't specifically cells in the testicles or relating to proteins required for sperm production then no, those cells are not programmed by Y chromosomes
there are no female genes that genetic males do not have

I mean honestly the movement should have gone in this direction and just taken a libertarian stance. We should have brought anyone who believes we should be able to take cross sex hormones and live our lives in peace into our political camp. It's so sad to me when our side keeps taking Ls just because we decide someone is an irredemable bigot because they have some criticism of objectively toxic tranny behavior. We've turned the moderate right against us because we demand absolute dogmatic obedience towards supporting our life choices instead of being happy that they put up with it. When we keep telling people they're transphobic, at some point they're just going to give up and go all in on hating us.

You can’t convince trans people of objective realities. It’s a mental illness and admitting they’re anything but identical to a cis woman shatters their existence.

Transition is a valid treatment for gender dysphoria because everyone has the right to make their own medical choices. I feel bad for them that they’re treated so badly and have to live in a body that doesn’t match how they feel, and their identity and pronouns should be respected.

But I can’t get behind denying the biological differences between sexes. That’s some doublethink levels of delusion that the average person will never get behind and it’s holding back trans progress.
>>
>>44009375
>>44009720
Claiming that taking cross-sex hormones makes you 'medically induced intersex' or that there is 'no practical difference in cells' is an absolute joke. Pumping a male body full of synthetic estrogen doesn't magically turn your cellular system into a female one. Human sex is hardwired at the deepest genetic level. Look at actual laboratory science, like the 'Four Core Genotypes' research. Even when hormone levels are completely identical, male and female cells respond totally differently to drugs, regulate entirely separate gene networks in the brain, and handle fat storage through completely different pathways. On top of that, real biological women have a unique cellular environment due to X-inactivation escape, in which up to 15% of genes on the inactivated X chromosome remain active, something a male body can never replicate. You aren't 'biologically female' or 'intersex'; you are just a guy on an extreme hormone regimen trying to run a medical simulation.
>>
>>44009891 >>44009591
Screaming that the Y chromosome only affects testicles and sperm just shows your entire understanding of genetics comes from tiktok. Actual scientific literature, including major genetic research from the Whitehead Institute, completely deflates that theory. Sex chromosomes dictate health outcomes and cell programming across your entire body, completely separate from hormones. Hormones don't just float around in a vacuum; they have to attach to cell receptors whose density, placement, and behaviour are programmed directly by your genetics. This is why your chromosomes independently control things like metabolic impact, organ function, immune system responses, and even how you perceive pain. Calling basic genetics 'transphobic' or 'chromosome purism' is just a desperate coping mechanism because real peer-reviewed science completely bricks your online scripts.
>>
>>44009469
Trying to draw a line between 'good' trans people and 'bad' late-transitioners to claim that passing males existed in women's spaces 'without problems' in the past is pure historical revisionism. The issue isn't the age you transitioned or how good your costume looks; it's the material reality of male anatomy and male-pattern socialisation.

Stating that women's sports and changing rooms can be safely accessed as long as your hormone levels look right is a complete denial of human development. Going through male puberty locks in permanent structural advantages in bone density, lung capacity, muscle retention, and skeletal leverage that testosterone suppression can never erase.

Thus, excluding biological males from female spaces isn't some modern culture war issue; it is a baseline defence of sex-based rights and physical safety. A cosmetic simulation doesn't grant you a human right to override female consent, and trying to blame older transitioners for the backlash is just a desperate attempt to protect your fragile ego.

The problem is you can’t separate true genetics from hormone-induced epigenetic changes, pretty much unless you can study intersex people.
For endosex people probably swapping sex hormones later in life does not completely undo the effects of prenatal/shortly postnatal/pubertal hormone exposure. It obviously does not undo major structural changes. But it does, clearly, induce its own layer of changes on top of whatever happened before.

this is factually all incorrect though, and has been rigourously disproven over and over again. Male "strength" isnt preserved on functional HRT regimens, bone density degrades. Chromosomes control some things, but hormones control as much if not more for how the body actually uses the data stored in chromosomes. This is why when you go on HRT you grow female breasts, because the DNA for that is in your body and when estrogen is in your blood it begins building a female body. This is the same with Androgen insensivity disorders where genetic males are born with full vaginas. Before DNA research these people lived as infertile women in society without problems.
