True, but I donтАЩt think chromosomes are really the issue here. If the definition of a trans woman was somebody who has had gender reassignment surgery, I think IтАЩd make the case for them to be treated as women in all cases except sport.
Maybe IтАЩm missing something here, but I donтАЩt see the argument for excluding trans women from womenтАЩs spaces if theyтАЩve been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, no longer have a penis, and are living тАЬas women.тАЭ Their chromosomes donтАЩt seem very important at that point.
I didn't say anything about bathrooms or other uh spaces. I was talking about biological definition and nothing more.
A man who has been through surgical transition and presents as female in every way would be out of place in a men's bathroom and by that stage there is no reason for him to be in one.
And it's never been the genuinely dysphoric I have a problem with. It's the other 99% who claim "trans" just for attention.
If our species survives the next few decades well enough for the continuing advance of science and technology then the day may come when we can transfer a brain, or maybe even just a mind, into a cloned body of the other gender or something more exotic, and they we won't have these discussions anymore.
And even after a radical orchidectomy (taking off everything) which is the treatment for testicular cancer, they still have XY chromosomes.
