Never been a male, I was birth-registered male, but my biological brain always signalled a female identity.

All medicalized trans women are biological females though.

We are biological females, my sex identity mistakenly labeled gender identity is female, therefore as an adult I am a woman.

Transsexual post op females who look more like normal cissexual females have been in female sports for decades without much fuzz.

Hadn’t*

It’s mainly about optics. Hasn’t Lia looked like a big dude, and not had a penis and threatening presence this wouldn’t be such a big deal.

Very bad optics.

No. It wouldn’t be cool. Trans females should be included on the same basis as all other women.

The point of transitioning is to blend in and be accepted as a regular woman.

Let’s only allow the ones who fit within female range.

You identify with the sex your were assigned at birth. The anatomy and its reproductive functions.

Most transgender people are cissexuals. That’s belonging to a privileged majority class.

But the sub-division is important. A person like Jazz Jennings is not the same as a late onset or choice transsexual.

Just the same as people who medically transitioned and had SRS, are unique compared to cross-dressers.

Of an early-onset transsexual who persists incongruent until adulthood.

That’s a clear indication of brain-restricted intersexuality and genetics. That also might have slight effects on the overall body as well.

This is not to divide people. All transsexed people deserve rights.

It’s important that transsexual female gets justice and separated from the misguided notion that they’re cissexual males in drag.

While being sex change is a choice some born cissexuals do, true transsexuality is not a choice, there’s nothing you could do to change the immutable sexual identity

Genetics, brain anatomy and function are the important aspects. That is important if we want to support the basis of inclusion under female rights for transsexual females especially.

We want answers. We want to be able to point to innate natal biology.

For transsexuals, it’s sex affirming care; we affirm our natal brain sex, simple as that. And ‘true transsexual’ is not a bad word, some are biologically transsexual and born that way, others are born cissexuals, but chooses for whatever reason to transition their phenotypic sex. Both valid.

I can see why cissexual transgender people don’t want it because you fear it would gatekeep you.

But transsexuals deserve answers, and if cissexual transgender people will stand in the way of that then we must push for that ourselves, and we are.

I know a lot of you don’t want that, which is why I don’t think there’s much positive coming from a transgender umbrella.

Classical transsexuals, most of us whom were early onset, want things like brain-restricted intersexuality or biological root cause confirmed.

Every day is #InternationalTransDayOfVisibility if you're clocky enough.

A lot of us do, yes. Especially the transsexual community.

We want specified answers.

That’s a risk. But we need more answers.

No it doesn’t define sex and gender identity.

But I think their aim is to control for developmental testosterone influence.

For some it’s about chromosomal sex purity.

Ok, with sexual identity we’re referring to brain sex linked identity.

And yes, no good tests for that yet. But you could get an indication from brain scans and possibly looking at androgen and estrogen sensitivity.

It needs to definitely be researched more.

Well, no 46,XY can naturally conceive from what we know.

There’s one case of a 47,XXY who was SRY negative who was able to conceive naturally.

Other ones would be 45,X/46,XY Mosaicism or 46,XY/46,XX chimerism.

A pure 46, XY like Swyer syndrome wouldn’t go unnoticed.

Sexual identity is hard to predict and define?

What do you mean?

The basis for that most humans are dyadic with normal structured XY males and XX females is fertility.

There might be a lot of XY/XX chimerism among trans people, it would be interesting to look into that.

I think it should be done though. And genetic testing on trans people to try and find answers.

No, I’m not a groomer. Do you hear yourself? Calling a former trans child “groomer”?

Be quite.

Of course children can consent to affirming their brain sex.

Parents don’t convince their children. I knew I was a girl from earliest of memories and this was over 30 years ago.

I transitioned in my late teens, but wish I could’ve been put on blockers very early. Transsexual children exist, whether you like it or not.

Birth-REGISTERED or ASSIGNED sex*

There’s both biology and sociology to being transsexual. Both counts, both has an affect on sexual development and both should be used as an argument for our rights.

The social argument alone, cannot trump the biological argument.
