    Kinda sus to call, say, an embryo with XY chromosomes and androgen insensitivity, which will develop into a person with a fully functional uterus whose body behaves exactly like that of every other AFAB person, as “unhealthy”. And by “kinda sus”, i mean jfc dude, fuck off with your interphobic bs, your third grade understanding of biology and your trans genocide apologia.

        So don’t confuse what the medical world sees as healthy and unhealthy as being anti trans or anything. A disorder is per definition unhealthy

        yeah being gay was unhealthy until 1974 when it suddenly wasn’t PIGPOOPBALLS

        You are missing the point. The person you responded to provided one of many possible examples of a person having a particular set of chromosomes, which you say determines their “sex,” yet they have the reproductive organs of “the other sex.” This shows that the entire concept of sexual binary is outdated and, due to it being weaponized in a quasi eugenicist way to pre determine social class roles, needs to be left in the dust bin of history. If genetics needs to be brought up in public discourse, the standard should be to speak very specificly on a case by case basis and stop attempting to group millions of people under reductive labels. Since we’ve decided to be extra confusing by naming these reductive sexual binary roles the same exact names as the reductive gender binary roles that they are equated to, the only way to resolve this it to just stop using these gender roles in the medical field and to instead speak specifically of the genetic conditions (XX, XY, XXY, XYY, XY + androgyn sensitivity, etc.)
