    Biological sex is not as cut and dry as you might think.

    Assigned male at birth is overall a better more descriptive term, as through medical transition trans people acquire different sexual characteristics.

    I’m not an expert in the field but this is how I’ve seen people more educated than me in biology describe it.

      Yeah. Biologically, my sex is distinctly transfeminine as someone post transition, before transition, I like many trans people was some variety of intersex, but assigned male at birth puts me into the big bin that means what they were trying to say.

      Though also blaming trans women’s assigned sex at birth for willingness to vote Republican is weird considering how much more likely cis women are than trans women to vote that way.
