There’s a lot of trans-medicalism in your post comrade.

Not really, no. I’m talking about biological sex, not gender.

A trans woman is a woman, full stop.

For non-medical and non-biological cases: Yes, and no one say disputes that.

The thing is that there are some people who don’t believe that for the other cases. I’m pointing out that while it is indeed a bit more complicated and takes some work to fully get there, trans women can even medically/biologically be women.

HRT and bottom surgery doesn’t define a person’s gender. Only affirm it.

Indeed. They change the biological sex, which helps affirming gender.

That said, I do like pointing out to transphobes that I have less testosterone and more estrogen than my afab girlfriend thanks to gender affirming care.

Which makes you biologically a woman. I really think we should hammer that point home and not let people get away with it by limiting our criticism to the choice of words, when we are scientifically in the right.

… They are talking about their lived experience, boiling it down to an -ism is daft.
