@andywilson9787 Gender identity is how you view yourself and how you want to be viewed by others in friendly conversation. In hostile conversation, it doesn't matter. It's all insults all the way down anyway. Male and female have existed for countless thousands of years before the scientific method and the reality is people are just guessing by visual inspection and following social conventions. Different gender roles have existed in many cultures across time. Hijra, Muxe, Waria, Fa'afafine, Ashtime of Maale, as well as the Kathoey in Thailand. In addition, you have no chance of knowing if someone is a actually an XX female or if they're XY and have complete androgen insensitively syndrome, nor does it make any difference. Call someone what they want to be called or exchange unpleasantries and call it a day, same as ever. Myself, I have no interest in being embraced or accepted by homophobes or transphobes nor will I ever respect them. I much prefer seething hatred as it's bracing and honest.

@Qui95Qui How you view yourself and how you want others to view you in society are not contingent on having or not having particular biological apparatuses or their reproductive capacity. Women have their uterus removed. Men have their prostates removed. Some women can bare children. Others cannot. How you view yourself and your own gender identity is your own agency. I cannot, as an observer on the sidewalk, know anything about someone's chromosomes, genetic profile, gene expression, or endocrinology nor is knowing that information important for civic life. We all gender others by casual visual and auditory inspection and go from there. That's just civic life. If someone has Klinefelter syndrome, Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome , chimerism and a host of other intersex conditions the physicality between the genders is extremely blurry. But that's Ok. When interacting with someone in a polite way, you use their name without asking them for 3 forms of photo identification. You can take gender just as it's given as well. It's just not that hard to do. Sure, if you want to interact with someone in an impolite way it doesn't matter. It's insults all the way down anyway. Trans women are under no illusion they've suddenly lost their Y chromosome during transition but nor is it doing much of anything after HRT. Some mammals don't even have a Y chromosome. It certainly doesn't keep a trans woman from looking like a woman or feeling like a woman. Pretend engaging in some type of biological witch hunt and gatekeeping about who is or isn't a real woman is counter productive to civil harmony at best and at worst creates an permanent underclass of people that are an economic drain, scuttling around at the edges of society. This is clearly visible in many oppressive societies around the world where trans people are pushed and pulled into sex work when legit alternatives are scarce due to employment discrimination and as some way, any way, to actualize their gender in reality. Happy to talk more and answer any questions you have.
