Men and Women are different strictly because of cultural reasons. many of which that are inherited from religious beliefs and practices.
At the core there's not that much difference except the hormonal stuff.
how do you know that it's purely cultural? Do you have a source for this?
there's no difference because trans women are women and trans men are men, and nonbinary people are valid.
It was already discussed earlier: men and women are distributions. Two distributions can be distinct even if there are overlaps between the distributions. For instance, men are much more likely to have beards than women are. This is a difference between men and women, and is not invalidated by the existence of women with beards.
trans women are trans women. trans men are trans men.
all people are valid. but don't expect all people to validate you.
i really have an issue with trans people who think i must validate them in their identity or i'm a horrible peron. I dont' expect them to validate me in mine. Just go live your life and i'll live mine. I'm happy to acknoledge your humanity, but i don't care about your gender identity anymore than your nationality or your taco toppings.
to me it's equally as obnoxious when someone demands I validate their 'heritage' or their 'hotness' or 'success' or whatever. just leave me alone.
