Modern gender theory (e.g., transgenderism) remains incoherent. And until those subscribing to this worldview can give workable definitions for terms like "gender", "man" or "woman" to begin with, we've no reason to take it seriously.
For example, at one point in his response to Matt, Mr. Dave claims "woman means any adult person with female gender identity". This simply moves the unworkable definition over to the term "female". Because as we can see in this video, he thinks "female" can refer to either biology or this same "gender identity" he's supposed to be making sense of. If "female" refers to biology, then any biological males identifying as female are literally delusional. And if he means "female" as in the sense of gender identity, then "female = someone who identifies as female" is still a circular definition.
As for brain activity, differences in brain activity are characteristic of all sorts of mental conditions even Dave would call pathological. We don't say that therefore the subject's beliefs are true; at best, we say we can explain why they have said beliefs, however delusional.
Also, Dave should be ashamed of himself for equating disagreement with phobia. Not only is this disrespectful of people who suffer with actual phobias, but it's telling trans-identifying people that tons of people hate them or are afraid of them when we're not. If he really cared about these people, he wouldn't tell them tons of people hate their guts when that's not anywhere close to true.
Then he accuses us all of being "bigots". Bigotry is a strong and unreasonable prejudice or opinion. But he's yet to demonstrate that we're being unreasonable, while he himself is being unreasonable by calling people names just because they disagree with his worldview. Anyway, he should either learn the difference between men and women or stop identifying as a "Professor", because that's embarrassing.
