it's all about chromosomes. x's and y's. but, see, this is the problem of knowledge disseminated to people that don't understand how to comprehend it. what are chromosomes, anyways? we know that they code for sex differences, but what exactly does that mean?
the confusion people are having is probably in the catholic concept of conception. they're converting what they think they understand about conception into a fixed idea of sexuality. god creates chromosomes, and chromosomes carry out god's plan. this is wrong, but it's the broad understanding of things.
here's a truth that might surprise people: if you take a genetically female foetus and you flush it in testosterone, it will develop male sexual characteristics. if you take a genetically male foetus and you flush it in estrogen, it will develop female sexual characteristics.
how can that be? you thought the chromosomes uniquely determined the sex, and that was carrying out god's plan. but, what the chromosomes actually code for - both in the womb and in later life - is hormone expression.
the chromosome argument is consequently rather lacking. it is true that transgendered people do not modify their chromosomes. but, the chromosomes only determine their biological sex in terms of how they determine the body's chemistry - and transgendered people do swap out that body chemistry, which is the actual defining point of biological sex.

i'm off the platform, for obvious reasons - whether this is political or the result of a systems glitch kind of doesn't matter. it's just: wow.
