(I’m just trying to learn. No hidden mockery in this and this is no gotcha bs aimed at t women. I’m NOT transphobic. Just saw this in a debate and wanted to know other people’s thoughts)

I just want to know:

  1. Is this factually correct?
  2. If it is, does it matter? Why or why not?
  3. How would you logically respond to this?
  4. How does this statement not contradict with Trans Women are Women

    1. Yes
    2. It matters if you want clear definitions. People here will probably get mad over my definitions if I further lay them out.
    3. You know those movies/cartoons/web comics where the main character guy wakes up as a girl one day and then starts freaking out like a freaky friday? Or perhaps he immediately starts checking out his own body naked in the mirror? Well that person just became a trans man/boy.
    4. Trans refers to the brain. ‘biologically male/female’ refers to reproductive organs.

      I don’t like the brain argument tho it’s bioessentialist and trans medicalist
