    Biology does not support this viewpoint. We should stop calling it “biological sex” and just call it bigotry.

        Sex is not binary. There are at least 30 genetic combinations of genes responsible for primary sex organs naturally occurring in human biology, and the presentation of secondary sexual characteristics runs a full spectrum of different phenotypes.

        Further, the neurological and social processes of transgender identification are biological processes.

        Gender is a social construct that describes the majority phenotypes, but there are far more outliers than the bigots would have you believe, and the science backs that up at every level.

        “Biological sex” is LGBTQA++plus something we haven’t even discovered yet. And there’s no evidence of bathroom incidents involving trans individuals where they weren’t the victims.

        Also, your question reminded me of something my biology professor would say: “Ignorance is not asking the question.” Good job being curious.
