Chromosome stuff is absolute nonsense and proves they know nothing about biology if they say such things. NO ONE knows what chromosomes they have unless they have been karyotyped. That is a fact. Making stupid statements like female = XX and male = XY is absurd and biologically wrong. There are cis men with XX, cis women with XY. Are they suddenly not now? It doesnt change anything about them
Im sick of this black and white little world too like XX and XY are the only possible options.. I did a post on my tumblr about it,
here. To sum up the possible chromosome configurations:
X0, XX, XXX, XXXX, XXXXX, XY, XXY, XYY, XYYY, XXYY, XXXY, XXXXY, XXXYY, XXYYY
Y has nothing to do with being male, as said above it is ONE gene that results in male physical development, the SRY gene. It is normally located on the Y chromosome hence this connection but if it is missing or inactivated then a physical female will develop with XY chromosomes. Likewise in the absence of a Y chromosome but the SRY gene translocated onto an X chromosome a physical male will develop with XX chromosomes. Just some examples of how ridiculous it is to state things like 'you have XX chromosomes so you are female'. Wrong on both counts, chromosomes do not determine gender (or even sex sometimes), and you do not know anyone elses chromosomes
I seriously hate people who try to use 'science' to discredit someone because REAL science actually proves how utterly wrong they are
Best advice is to ignore comment sections of articles, full of bigoted, ignorant trolls with nothing better to do with their lives than spew ignorance on the internet. All it shows is they know absolutely nothing about biology, therefore their 'opinions' are completely invalid as they are factually false. There are cis people who date us, their sexuality has little to do with it they do not have to be hetero. Gay cis men will date gay trans men and vice versa, straight cis people will date us if they see us as we actually are. It is wrong to say all cis people are a certain way cause they're not. Way too many of them are bigoted and ignorant but not all of them are. My gf is cis and understands this stuff better than most trans people do. Its not impossible for them to understand and see us for who we really are. No they do not experience dysphoria to understand how it physically feels but that doesnt mean they cant comprehend the concept. Most dont but some do get it
Anyone that is ignorant or wants to treat you a certain way isnt worth your time anyway. In a way its a good thing they show you how they really feel so you know who to avoid. Most of it is just sheer ignorance on their part. They have preconceived little notions of how they think we are, most of them will never have knowingly interacted with a trans person in their life (though may have actually met some and not even known) so they are going off stupid ideas they have about us. When they see things like that arent true is when they begin to change how they view us
