(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:

  1. Is this factually correct?
  2. If it is, does it matter? Why or why not?
  3. How would you logically respond to this?
  4. How does this statement not contradict with Trans Women are Women

It’s extremely hairy messy to define biological sex. Whoever wants to argue has a middle school level understanding of biology, refuse to learn and completely ignores the science.

    So transgender or gender fluid people are those that fall in the intersex spectrum exclusively? Or can a typical male with typical internal and external genital structures, and typical male hormones and male secondary characteristics identify as a gender other than male?
