Let's walk through this. Presumably, sex is a matter of chromosomes (it's not exactly; but that's close enough for government work). So let's call a person who is XY male-sexed, and a person who is XX female-sexed.How is it possible.
It isn't from a scientific perspective. How has it become so accepted as a concept? — Andrew4Handel
...and here we fail. It doesn't appear that it is technologically feasible to change a person from male-sexed to female-sexed.How has it become so accepted as a concept? — Andrew4Handel

Okay, so how do you tell?No. I have never needed to know about someone's chromosomes to know whether they are male or female. — Andrew4Handel

Chromosomal sex is not the entirety of sex — Pfhorrest
Having surgery to mutilate your genitalia and spending a life time on wrong sex hormones and other body damaging chemicals is not changing sex it is forcing your body to be something it doesn't want to be and once hormones stop it will revert back to it's natural self. — Andrew4Handel
Having such surgeries is scientifically possible; but since when is bodies wanting to be things scientific?Having surgery to mutilate your genitalia and spending a life time on wrong sex hormones and other body damaging chemicals is not changing sex it is forcing your body to be something it doesn't want to be and once hormones stop it will revert back to it's natural self. — Andrew4Handel
Not always.You cannot tell the difference between a man or a woman.? — Andrew4Handel
That sounds anecdotal, not scientific. Silly me, but by your OP I thought you were complaining about the acceptance of something that was scientifically impossible.I have always been able to tell I use my ears. I can also tell when someone has had "gender reassignment" — Andrew4Handel
How can it be ethical to chop off healthy breasts and penises? — Andrew4Handel
Instead of pray the gay away it is now trans the gay away. — Andrew4Handel
Why would you only recognize distinctions that occur only at birth and not those through human effort. — Hanover
Trans people aren't necessarily gay. — Hanover

Exactly the kind of response you expect on this issue. — Andrew4Handel
Breast reduction and enhancement surgeries occur in contexts other than in transsexual situations. Do you object to those? — Hanover
It's certainly debatable, but recognizing them as such is not necessarily unreasonable. — T Clark

Haven't you seen sissies in male bodies and a butch in female bodies? — skyblack
A better question would be why the contents of other people's underpants cause folk such as you so much grief. — Banno
How is it possible. — Andrew4Handel
This is a result of sexism
Men are considered effeminate for not acting macho, women are considered butch for not acting girly.
Women are not camp men and men are not butch lesbians. Gender non conformity should not lead to genital mutilation and a life time on chemicals. — Andrew4Handel
There are two kinds of sex - mental and physical. — TheMadFool
