(I’m just trying to learn. No hidden mockery in this and this is no gotcha bs aimed at t women. I’m NOT transphobic. Just saw this in a debate and wanted to know other people’s thoughts)
I just want to know:
- Is this factually correct?
- If it is, does it matter? Why or why not?
- How would you logically respond to this?
- How does this statement not contradict with Trans Women are Women
Depends on who’s saying it. For most people it’s just not worth saying anything. Anything you say goes in one ear and out the other
If they seem like they’re asking in good faith or I just want to practice my rhetoric, I’ll ask what they mean by “biologically male.” Chromosomally, maybe. Hormonally? Maybe not. Breast cancer doesn’t care about your chromosomes.
Yeah, biology is a fucking mess is the thing. I happen to be aware of a medical condition a woman can have where they literally have male chromosomes but completely female sexual characteristics.
Swyer syndrome is why I said “chromosomally, maybe.” XY chromosomes, and some level of female development, sometimes to the point of being able to have children
I believe that this is some specific case of hermaphrodity you have described. I know cases when people can have undeveloped or even partially developed organs of other sex and don’t even know about them until a doctor finds it during a random body scan or surgery.
