    Biology isn’t even relevant here, we’ve surpassed evolution, there is absolutely no reason why someone shouldn’t change their gender if they want to. Apart from that, I find it hilarious how confident conservatives are about this, the situation isn’t that simple, there are a number of naturally present aneuploidies including the sex chromosomes. Even in the usual XX and XY variants, parts of the Y chromosome are homologous to X and the expression of sex-specific genes is modulated by epigenetic factors. In practice the concentrations of the sex hormones are not on/off and can vary fluidly. With these simplifications, you are just displaying your ignorance of biology.

      Those are all variations within a sex. You’re confusing sex with the phenotype and genotype.

      Anyone can change their gender because it’s all made up. Nobody can change the type of gametes they do or would produce.
