And yet DNA can unequivocally determine M or F. Sure there are
variations among humans. But the binary nature of DNA is a proven
fact.

But you're not replacing (missing) hormones. You're adding NEW ones
that don't belong in your body. And that WILL fuck you up.

Working traits? Not really. A fake clit will never work like a real
one. I suppose you can piss through a fake vagina, but it'll never
give you a vaginal orgasm.

You'll never find a man as non-op. Better get the op and you might be
able to fool a man, if only temporarily. As for varieties of female
impersonators, I agree. Some are effeminate, some are really butch,
like Robert 'Amy' Schneider the current Jeopardy winner.

Even allowing for the occasional freak of nature, and most delusional
gender appropriators are not that, biological sex IS determined by
DNA.

A man and a woman are sexes not genders, as explained in the other
post. Man = male, woman = female. That's just the way it is.

The word is 'meskosc'. The -sc ending is what makes it feminine
gender. As again.
Similarly in Spanish it's la masculinidad, la hombria, la
virilidad...ALL feminine gender on account of the word endings.

That's not real world. There's absolutelty no reason to refer to

are is male.

But it's enough to tell you unequivocally what you are. Should you

It cerainly IS a delusion. You simply cannot change the sex you were
assigned at birth without a full DNA transplant which we know is
impossible. All the 'woke' research in the world will never change
that.

Since there are no 'trans' people who have successfully changed sex,
transphobia®™ cannot and does not exist. We treat delusional people
such as yourself with the derision you deserve and have brought upon
yourself.
And I note that the 'trans' industry has borrowed this 'phobia' shite
from the marketing arm of the homosexual industry, as if to say, "you
don't hate us, you're afraid of us." Total horseshit, of course. But
good marketing.
