Human beings constantly act like IDIOTS about sex/gender.
"Gender is a performance” say the Social Constructionists — but they always FAIL TO NOTICE that it is PERFORMANCE PLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT OF ONE’S NATURAL SEX.
A male can’t play “woman” right. He lacks the INSTRUMENT.

Of course, HAVING the instrument doesn’t mean you can PERFORM WELL.

Conclusion: trans women are not women.
Caveat that ought to go without saying: that doesn’t mean they aren’t human beings and don’t deserve the same human rights as everyone else.
