I'm a trans woman and I honestly think that I very well may end up having to hide myself in my parents attic or something.
would strongly recommend my transfolk friends move out of FL and TX, and really any red state. I know it's hard, but these places..... they're not run by people in their right minds.
Might as well go live in an actual developed country while you are at it.
i want to add for any trans folks thinking about moving to canada: make sure you check provincial laws. we have a federal bill enshrining trans rights*, but some of our provinces are interested in just ignoring it using the notwithstanding clause. obviously do your own research but i would say british columbia is probably your best bet (coastal bc especially, the interior is a little... traditionalist)
i found a resource that breaks it down better than i ever could
Is there one for the U.S. ?
It is spreading, not many states will be safe very soon. Not to mention most people don't have the ability to move. It's a nice thought, tho
I'm curious, what do you get out of saying this?
You were most likely born without hair, doesn't make you bald.
Your definition of sex is stuck in the 90's. Time to update it before you lose your grip on reality.
And if you can't handle modern time, there is always the Amish.
So what?? Why do chromosomes matter at all? Gender ≠ sex. Anyone is allowed to identify however they want, and it literally hurts nobody.
However, trans people do actually have brain structures that mismatch their assigned sex at birth. Also, most differences of sex are just caused by hormones, so HRT really does meaningfully change someone's sex.
You should also know that human biology is not so clean cut. Intersex people exist, and for example there are people born female with a Y chromosome.
Here's something that will not only educate you on it, but also has all the references in the show notes (science vs)

Sex ≠ chromosomes
Sex ≠ gender
Gender ≠ chromosomes
Biology is far more complicated than what you're thinking
Edit: apparently that was just the audio, here's the show notes for that episode http://bit.ly/31k0oNk
Okay, here.

If you don't want to do that then my next step will be to post all the sources in a massive comment(s maybe)
You're a long way behind on your biology reading.
