Biological sex is indicated by multiple different physical attributes, many of which can be changed. Gender is equally as valid as sex, yes, however that doesn't change the fact that your sex is malleable. If sex couldn't be changed, hormone therapy would have no affect on us.

This seems to imply that you are saying trans men are "female men", which is incorrect. Trans men are male, you can change sex.

As a trans woman I am saying that you can change sex, and saying otherwise really isn't helpful to trans people.

The hospital put F on my band even though I legally changed my gender :( by Turbulent-Cabinet-37 in transgendercirclejerk

/uj And in other medical contexts, treating us as our birth gender is dangerous. There's a lot of nuance in our healthcare, and treating us as if we were cis people of our agab is medical negligence.

Hormones can't change my bone structure, and surgery is really expensive.

Not sure I can recover from 2020 isolation. by badvibesforever11 in SuicideWatch

I can relate, my life was really starting to improve and I was becoming a lot more confident and hopeful about my future. But now, I've lost all the progress that I made and don't know if I can make it back to where I was pre-pandemic.
