        Disagreement with the politically correct about transgender is necessarily transphobic.

          Do tell me where you studied genetics at a graduate level to make the determination you just made.

          Otherwise yeah, you’re being a queerphobe.

            Your right: only the elite and/or those with a university degrees can discuss this issue.

              You are defining a woman by her genes. So yes, I expect you to have a university degree to be able to make such an authoritative definition.

              Just like I would expect you to have a degree in physics before making an authoritative definition based on properties of physics.

              Believe it or not, Facebook University isn’t a real university.

                Several decades ago, the authorities on the subject regarded homosexuality as a mental disorder. Fortunately not all LGBT lay-people deferred to their judgements.

                Just like I would expect you to have a degree in physics before making an authoritative definition based on properties of physics.

                So I need a degree to say “E=mc2.”

                I never joined that site.

                  You are seriously doing the “science was wrong before” argument while trying to use science?

                  The whole point of science is that new ideas replace old ones when new information comes up.

                  I don’t think you understand what science even is.
