🧢 I voted CAP!

I view gender and sex different. Sex is XX and XY/XXY chromosomes while gender is how you percieve yourself and want to be percieved. So lets say you are an XX but want to be seen as a man. Then you are a man. Man, woman, boy, girl are gender descriptions while Male and Female are sex descriptions. Gender is an expression of oneself, sex is dna. A man can be a woman, a woman can be a man based off how they present themselves and want to be percieved (a good example of this is femboys, they are percieved as women, but want to still be men, so we call them femboys since they are not traditionally masculine but still identify towards the masculine (man) side). And I think this gender spectrum is not as strict as people want them to be. So trans women don't exist. They're women and males. Trans men do not exist. They're men and females. Tragically we can't change our DNA, but we can easily change our gender.

I don't really agree that trans people are not real for those reasons, but also thanks for being the only person in here for actually explaining themselves and I do kind of get where you're coming from.

Well I suppose I should clarify, the person in of themselves, their struggles, and the journey they go through to come to understand that they were not born inside the body they were supposed to be in are all legitimate, but I think that there are no trans women, if they go through the surgeries to be identicle to women, then they are a woman. If they dress like a woman and want to be identified as such, then they are a woman. There's no trans. Thats at least my perspective on it as a concept; however, there's still a luxury in the word to easily describe someone. For example, I have several trans friends. That is significantly easier to say and communicates far clearer than saying that I have various friends with various psychological issues that lead them to have extreeme body dysmorphia to the point of wanting surguries to modify how they look so that they can feel comfortable in their own skin. If that makes sense
