“Cultural concepts like trans issues have no absolutes”
You are describing feelings and opinions here. Not truths.
For example, the chief claim among trans women is that they “feel like women.” But it is not TRUE that they are women.
And when you ask them to define what they mean by feeling like women, they fall back on cultural stereotypes like liking wearing dresses and makeup. Which many women don’t do.
So in this case, being a woman is not their “truth,” it is at best a delusion and at worst a lie. And it is impossible to build a legal framework or a civil rights movement on that.
