You do not understand science, and you are pretending tumblr is something anyone looking for real information would click on.

People say things, often false. That' covers all your tumbr links because there is no reason to think any of them are "authoritative".

Science journalism was NEVER any good, but it is a joke now. Nothing in Forbes or NYT is worth reading for anything other than the link or name of the study they are citing if it sounds interesting. But, if you read it critically, you will always be disappointed.

The article about Bees should disappoint you. It has nothing to do with humans, nor at all analogous to our means of SEXUAL reproduction.

You caught two very important in the source for the Forbes thing: "We propose ... . This is the first report ...". I skipped over the pointless part, because "we propose" is the important part of that sentence. They did not show, they did not prove, they proposed a possible explanation. OK, and explanation of what? Something of which this is the first report.

Science works as a method of inquiry when it is transparent allowing other researchers to reproduce the results. That rarely happens, what instead happens in the best scenarios is people run similar experiments in good faith attempting to replicate what was done and similar results were found (in the best scenarios). Too often dissimilar experiments are run in bad faith, like when Linus Pauling's Vitamin C works was 'debunked', and the results are presented as if the experiemtn was done like the original was but the results are different. That's when any attempt to reproduce results is done. Too often it's not done. Sorry, but this bee thing does not seem credible and there are so many things that can go wrong that I just do not find it credible. It will take more than just reproducing the results, it will take a clearly explained mechanism that then will produce the same results consistently, before before I consider it credible. I suspect the mechanism will not have anything to do with anything you think it has. Because this has nothing to do with "trans".

Your other links are all BS. But, if you've convinced yourself, why bother trying to convince others? I suspect you know it is all BS, and you are trying to get people to indulge delusions. There is no way any of your links show anything discrediting the FACT that the human species reproduces sexually via the impregnating of a woman's large immobile gamete with a man's small mobile gamete.

None of the things about genes or brains says anything about people who have functioning genitalia being the other "gender" nor why any supposition about identities or lady-brained males matter to anyone else but the lady-brained males. Your identity is the fiction you tell yourself to make sense of your place in your social world, just like everyone else who feels they need an "identity". No one needs to be burdened by anyone else's fiction.

Wait are you suggesting the publication known for its fifty richest men in the world pieces isn’t where we should get our information about biology? What’s next!? The pharmacist isn’t really the best guy to get my investment advice from?
