  Well trans people, if they medically transition, quite literally change their sex.

    If they don’t, they’re still transitioning their gender. Exactly how much they decide to change themselves doesn’t matter. That’s the point of the term.

      Trans people transition BOTH their sex and their gender. The term “transgender” is a broad umbrella term. But most people under that label do seek to physically change their bodies. You’re arguing semantics, I’m arguing the lived experience of living breathing human beings.

        The it sounds like you should be arguing for different semantics, that match the experience of living breathing human beings.
