      Straight and gay people still feel atracted to those with specific sexual traits, whether natural or artificially developed, so the description is still important for dating. Some people dont care much about gender, but still consider sex important. And of course physicians are rarely interested in gender either when diagnosing medical conditions. What concerns them is biology. So just because transphobes misuse terms to justify discrimination, that doesnt render those terms invalid.

        A professional wouldn’t actually use the term biological woman though because it’s a made up right wing dog whistle and not a real medical term.

        Also for like 99%+ of things your physician knowing your agab is completely irrelevant. Hormones change so much stuff like metabolism, bone density, blood proteins, etc so they really don’t need to know at all unless you need to see someone for reproductive system specific problems.

        Also, transgender people are not abiotic, or fake, or mechanical or whatever. Trans women are biological women and trans men are biological men. Describing someone as biological whatever is really dumb because all humans are biological so it’s a completely redundant term.
