So, people are assigned a sex at birth. Why are some people assigned male while others are assigned female? On what basis would a medical professional assume the sex of the child?

The reason is that certain biological characteristics are given the name male, while certain other biological characteristics are given the name female. A person who objectively has the given characteristics is called either male or female.

Males and females go through a

process of aging and development. Young females are referred to using the word "girl" while adult female persons are referred to using the word "woman".

People "assigned female at birth" have the biological characteristics of a female and are girls who will grow up to be women.

This is the case regardless of the persons gender identity.

The very idea of having a gender identity that differs from the "sex assigned at birth" actually reinforces the fact that someone born male can not be a woman because it acknowledges that what their sex is e.g. male

and the term woman refers to someone who, possessing female characteristics, is assigned female at birth and grows up to be an adult female person.

What are those female characteristics you might ask?

Female biologist @HeatherEHeying offers:

Females do/did/will/would **but for developmental genetic anamolies**. While males produce sperm.

Now, there are women with inter-sex conditions who might not produce ova but they are covered under would *but for developmental genetic anamolies*.

Trans activists try to exploit these inter-sex conditions to justify their own attempts at "gendermandering". They argue that because people with such conditions exist, males (people with unambiguous male characteristics) without these conditions can be adult female persons, i.e.

that males can be women.

An example of this "gendermandering" is more clearly seen in the context of trans men and pregnancy.

According to any reasonable understanding of the term female and woman, anyone who can get pregnant is covered by the term female/woman. Now, not all

women can get pregnant, but we don't need to focus on that for now, because anyone who can get pregnant is a female/woman by definition; including trans men who can get pregnant.

TRAs would try to force us to accept that trans men who can get pregnant are in fact men, not women.

Of course, such claims are ludicrous, even for those who try to promote transgenderism.

Note Jon Stewart's exacerbation here which reveals his underlying belief that it is women who have babies and not men.

The suffering and dysphoria of trans people should not be diminished and they should be treated with compassion and love, but the entire ideology that is being pushed on people with dysphoria, is not only based on lies, it is self-refuting (as above).

So, what kind of care

should we be providing to people with dysphoria. Should we lie to them about the meaning of words such as female and woman and thereby enable their delusions, while pumping them full of drugs and profiting off the mutilation of their bodies or, should we be giving them the

emotional and psychological support they need to accept what the words male and female, man and woman actually refer to?

For people with dysphoria should we be:

pumping them full of drugs/hormones, performing surgery on them, and lying about what the words male and female mean.

Or

Should we be giving them the emotional and psychological support they need to accept what those words actually mean?
