identity takes precedence over biology; who we are as people in our hearts and minds should be more important than who we are in our bodies. That's a lovely ideal, it would seem to give people more potential dignity and freedom from the constraints of biological realities that might give way to adversity, but as soon as someone decides they want to use their body to their advantage or to oppress someone else, then the illusion gives way because those ideals aren't total dictators of this reality we all share.

This is an excellent take and really sums up the appeals to niceness and “just let me be” arguments we often see from tra and libfems.
