The “sex and gender are different” theory that cisgender people invented so they can grasp trans identity while still erasing it is toxic. It translates into “your gender may be ____ but biologically you are _____” which normalizes the concept that genitalia validates your gender. Its nothing less than bullshit.

It also creates this patronizing linguistic construction where you can just replace “biologically” with “really” and that’s the actual sentiment here, isn’t it? They’re humouring you, that’s it. Truth is that sex is as much a social construct as is gender, but admitting that debunks the status quo in a way that the simplistic sex/gender distinction doesn’t, so of course it hasn’t caught on yet.
