"Sex" is a biological classification. "Gender" goes beyond that and encompasses what somebody wants their place in society to be.

I feel like you are really hung up on sex as to mean "biological" but I want you to consider that this (perceived) distinction between sex and gender is precisely the part that’s harmful to trans people. By separating sex into its own "biological" "scientific" reality you are missing that sex is as arbitrary as gender. Who is to decide what are sexual characteristics and what is not?

I’m done with this conversation. If you still don’t understand why many of us are uncomfortable with using outdated terminology that originates from medical fields that have been weaponized against us time and time again then there’s no point in continuing this discussion.

I understand where you are coming from. I am offering an alternative point of view to explain why many of us identify as transsexual. I don’t think it’s super useful to police language that people use to self-id.
