Good to know that you are commenting on other people's comfort. If you are not part of it, how in the world do you know how uncomfortable people feel?

It doesn't matter how diverse the identity of women, that identity is distinct from male.

Again, why should I care how someone else defines their identity? I am a woman, but the way that another woman sees female identity has no effect on the way I define it. Much like the way a man or MTF or FTM doesn't effect the way I define my identity. I define my identity for myself, no one can change that.

Okay, this really makes me want to go to a college, apply for a sorority and tell them I may look like a man but I am really a woman inside. Being able to live with a bunch of hot women in exchange for talking about clothes and makeup sounds like a great deal!

I was asking a question, like this one...

Can you be any more obtuse?

Nope.

There are people who have one X and one Y who look totally female

There are some with two Xs and one Y who look totally male.

Yes.

A person's appearance (or rather, a flawed interpretation of their appearance based on nothing scientific at all) does not change a person's DNA or genetic material, which is the sole determining factor of sex and is unchanging. Looks, as the old saying goes, can be deceiving.

Who is this "we" that you speak of? It sure doesn't include me, because I can't think of anything that is less my business than the exact construction of a stranger's genitals or the use to which said genitals are put.




Well then, don't.

As a born female myself, I'm willing to take another person's self-assessment at face value. Because I really am not curious about the details, which don't concern me.

I will say that if you persist on insisting that what is in someone else's pants is your business, then you will have some, um, rather notable social interactions.

While all of you are on some "who cares, how does it affect your life", we have amendments in schools being passed during the 11th hour in order to bypass school boards. Also, states are contemplating passing transgender bathroom bills. But none of these issues affect us because we no longer exist in this world. Remember, policies are voted upon, not just passed.

So sure, let live and be free while we bury our heads in the sand. I really don't understand this laissez-faire attitude as if everyone else can complain but those who are having to adjust to change must shut up and eat it...

I know plenty of men who enjoy the pleasures of child pornography in the comfort of their own home. I am rather thrilled that they are virtually satisfying their urges rather than in real life. It doesn't hurt me or anyone else. Why should I care?

Therefore, they should be allowed to watch child porn all they want... (keeping within the context of your post)
