This is about the affects on the wellbeing of transgender people when they get a sex change operation.
The answer to the question involves biology, philosophy, theology, neuroscience, ethics, and statistics, among others most likely. You’ll probably get a different answer depending who you ask. I think it should be less about that question you asked and moreso how can we ethically make those people feel comfortable with themselves as well as the rest of society comfortable with integrating people who choose to identify as the opposite sex.
Please stop dodging the question. It’s a simple yes or no question that is fundamental to the discussion of trans people’s right to live as they are equally to cis people of the same gender.
It’s not a simple yes or no question. Seeing everything in black and white is part of the problem.
As it stands and in light of the Supreme Court Ruling, I wouldn’t see a transgender woman to be as equally a woman as a cisgendered woman, but I wouldn’t see her as a man either. It depends on what you’re talking about, whether it’s socially, medically, neurologically, theologically, ethically, in the eyes of everyone else, legally, etc.
I am a transgender woman. I look like a woman, I think like a woman, I have the hormones of a woman, I have experienced the misogyny that women experience, I have used women’s washrooms and change rooms and other spaces for a decade at this point without issue, I have used these spaces along side cis women who knew that I am trans and cis women who didn’t know. There has never been an issue because I am a woman who uses those spaces like any other. I have been socialized like a woman, I feel like a woman, I identify as a woman.
I haven’t found a place that hasn’t had a non gendered space. Disabled bathrooms are a legal requirement in most places.
You didn’t answer the question. Do you believe that trans women are women, yes or no ?
Still figuring that one out. The Supreme Court says “no”, other people say yes. I don’t see a clear-cut answer to the question.
The vast majority of science going back to pre-WWII says the answer is yes.

Knowing now that the scientific consensus is yes, do you believe that trans women are women?

Am I a woman?
Good question.
