I learned in high school in the 90s that biological sex is a spectrum and intersex people exist, and that was way before the gender being a separate thing caught on. I also learned in high school that English is a mishmash of a ton of languages and that dictionaries reflect how people use words and not the other way around.
Apparently you need to repeat high school if you were not aware of those things.
I’ll bet that you are confusing intersex (the biology stuff) and transgender (identity).
While covering genetics, like the whole X and Y chromosome stuff, we learned about how some people can have XXY and other gene combinations other than XX and XY. We also learned that through gene expression someone with a Y chromosome that develops a vagina instead of a penis and vise versa. This was taught about humans along with animals that also have sexes dependent on more criteria than just genes, like how many reptile will hatch as male or female depending on temperature of their nests.
We also learned that sometimes doctors made a decision based on physical characteristics for ‘hermaphrodites’ and kind of picked one or the other so they would fit in. None of this was taught in a respectful way for people who currently identify as trans, and was purely about genetics and gene expression as facts without any kind of positive or negative connotation, just a recognition that sex (biology) is not black and white.
Just because you had a substandard education doesn’t mean that everyone did.

So FTL being theoretical is more believable to you than someone choosing their own identity.
Get fucked bigot.
Personal pronouns are objectively incorrect per the laws of biology and the rules of English grammar. This is not a matter of opinion.
Quote the “laws of biology”.
English reflects how people talk, it is not prescriptive.
It’s not my job to educate you. Repeat high school if you have to.

No, you didn’t. No high-school biology textbook includes content like that. You’re a shameless lying sack of shit.

You lost by getting caught in a shameless lie. Why are you still talking? Get lost.
