Taking a plunge with the TS scene

[Francoquart]

Women have 2 X chromosomes. Men have an X and a Y chromosome.

No radical surgery, change of clothing, makeup, intake of hormones, change of pronouns, or statement of belief can change the genetics of one’s sex.

To believe otherwise is lunacy.

That is female and male. Man and women are social gender and not biological ones. A trans women can be of a male genitalia, but be a woman in its perception of itself. Women and female are not necessarily the same. One is completely social, while the other is completely biological. The woman is a fabricated concept by society to emphasise their roles and identities. While in the past, women's role were limited and were essentially a belonging to a man, their roles in the present has become almost as equal to that of man. A male can perceive himself and wanting to be a woman. That perception will translate itself not only to the roles, but also to the esthetics, and in extreme cases to a sex change (become a biological female). Many trans women are still attracted to a female and are not gays.

It's amazing to me that anyone who has had the opportunity to experience and observe the differences between male and female behavior in the world of prostitution could still believe that sex is a "social construct" as opposed to a basic biological reality. Then again, people will believe in all kinds of absurd ideas despite all evidence to the contrary.

Are you defining sex just in its basic state, where its only purpose is reproduction?
Sex among people has evolved, and reproduction is maybe the lowest objective. It has become a "social construct" as it is being defined by the individuals involved. While preferences where divided between heterosexual and homosexual, we now see the emergence of bisexual and pan sexual. Sex is emancipating and breaking all biological barriers.

I never thought that I would live to see the day when I could say that I agree wholeheartedly with Germaine Greer on any issue related to women or sex. And yet, here we are on the same page.

Just because Germaine Greer adopts a trans exclusionary position, it doesn't make it right. Why not just let Trans people define themselves ? Why does everyone feel the need to impose their view of gender/sexual orientation etc. on any other individual? It's seems narcissistic to want everyone to conform.

They should be able to identify themselves and so on, but it does become a tricky issue in things such as sports - as we've seen numerous times. It's something Greer has also touched on.
