Personally, I don’t really care how real people’s gender identities are. A biological cause for sex dysphoria will never erase the rights of women. It’s probably worth exploring for those who suffer it and to find new treatments, but it doesn’t make them anything more than an odd pathology.

I agree but if proven true it would give some credence to their narrative about being "born this way" and perhaps certain special considerations for transsexuals (not all trans umbrella people though). But no, it would certainly not mean males are female or those protections could come at the expense of women's rights.

I’m all for special considerations like discrimination protection, specialist medicine, etc especially if there’s a legit known pathology that can be identified in the people receiving them.

Even if it turns out some people are born that way, we can all still see toxic subculture that has formed around sex dysphoria. The disorder is quite likely real but the culture around it is still a misogynistic swamp.

Yes, this 100%

Because to be trans now you need only declare that - majority of new trans people aren't dysphoric even in slightest. Even their own study showed that over half of transwomen are not even planning to have any surgeries or full transition. Some are just crossdressing without hormones. And all of them are allowed in female spaces.

Nobody but women and girls should ever be in those spaces.

Imo an actual pathology would be excellent if it could weed out the purely cultural transgender people and remove them from the needs and considerations for actual transsexuals.
