I really don’t like that apparently “biological women” is being adopted to mean “cis women”. I’m also biologically a woman, at least in part. My main sex hormone is estrogen and my testosterone is so low you cannot even measure it. So it would plainly be false to call me a “biological man”. Just call me a trans woman and those that you call “biological women” cis women. Otherwise this feels like we are adopting terf terminology :(
Furthermore, the brain is not separate from biology; it’s a body part the same as any other organ. There’s plenty of research to suggest (not prove yet) that gender identity correlates to where various parts of the brain lie on a masculine-feminine spectrum, forming an individual mosaic, like a fingerprint or snowflake. Trans women are biological women in every possible sense of the phrase, and this wording is obviously chosen to de-legitimize gender identity.
I don’t think you understand. By taking hormones, you have forgone the weakness of your flesh and adopted an artificial, non-biological body.
Some post-menopausal cis women do this as well, which is why you don’t often see older women winning sports awards either. Some men do too, but that’s different because obviously it is (don’t ask why, I didn’t make the rules).
Not sure if I understand you correctly. You mean this is the terfs’ essentialism shining through, which sees “women” as inherently inferior to “men”? It is pretty weird that those “radical” ““feminists”” have such a patriarchal view on gender and sex.
For my last part? Yeah I don’t know. Nobody seems to ever talk about how common hormones are for cis people when they talk about banning them. But yes, I was playing on the fact that for some reason women tend to be treated disproportionately (and hypocritically) worse.

Came here to say this, the “biological man/woman” phrasing is so rooted in high school level biology
Know. They know about the android infiltration, and how agents are often assigned the wrong hardware.
Thats why so many transcwomen are so good at code.

Also, “woman” is a gender category and therefore based in social conventions, not biology.
Yeah but you did run on silicate body chemistry until you transitioned to a machine body in 2018.
