This is so ridiculous and stupid. Could you send me the contact data so I can write them, too?

“Your definition of “transwoman” is blatantly false, and based on information that is both scientifically and observationally inaccurate. The correct definition should be: “1. A biologically male person who identifies as female. 2. A biologically male person who has undergone sexual reassignment to present a typically female phenotype.” Sex is not “assigned at birth” arbitrarily. Your current definition is an insult to women, men, science, medicine, and fact.“
