Controversial - the community to discuss controversial topics.
Challenge others opinions and be challenged on your own.
This is not a safe space nor an echo-chamber, you come here to discuss in a civilized way, no flaming, no insults!
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, "trust me bro" is not a valid argument.

She's right -- surgery doesn't change gender.
It only helps one's body conform to the gender they already are. Getting surgery doesn't turn a man into a woman (or vice versa). They were already a woman, and the surgery just helps them look and feel like it. A trans woman doesn't become a woman when she gets a surgery -- she becomes a woman when she realizes she's trans (or, rather, realizing she's trans reveals to her that she was always a woman).
Exactly.
Brainwiring/gender is above-the-neck, & sex is below-the-waist gonads.
They are distinct.
The gaslighters who insist that one's "identity" overrides one's body, are gaslighting.
Having people get the wrong medical-treatment because their gender-identity is all that is shown on their medical-chart, so they're being treated for male problems, while pregnant..
that whole category of problem is created by the falseness/artifice of "identity is the only reality" ideology/religion.
BOTH need to be identified, & BOTH have validity.
