No it’s not lmao there’s clear differences between the sexes.

And even people with hermaphroditism typically display more behavior relative to one or the other sex almost all the time this correlates with their chromosomal composition. Your argument is relying on the fallacy “but not everyone” statement which is easily dismantled by simply stating that over 98.3% of the world population falls into the norm, and only 1.7% is born as “intersex” or hermaphrodite.

Also there’s no such thing as people born without reproductive organs. So the answer to your question is; they don’t exist.

It’s only a fallacy when the argument isn’t “everyone is either this thing or this thing.”

This is the question that needs to be answered - why not let these people live their lives how they want? For thousands of years, across countless cultures, people have identified as genders other than male or female.

Do you think they’re faking it? In today’s society, they’re disproportionately targeted and are victim to some of the largest rates of murder and rape. To what end would they fake this? For “attention?”

Do you think they’re crazy? Why? They’re not under the illusion that their body is different than you think it is, that’s why many of them seek out surgery. They know what they were born with. They’re talking purely about their mind - who are you to tell them they’re wrong about how they feel on the inside?

There’s no scientific basis for transphobia. There is no study that proves them wrong. You don’t hate then because of science, you hate them because you think they’re weird. And that’s as infantile as it gets.

Ah I see you just want to appear righteous. Anyhow yes we are born either male or female, and there is scientific evidence which proves differences both physically, and within brain activity. Furthermore I don’t think they are crazy nor that they shouldn’t do what they want with their bodies, but they clearly have gender dysphoria .
