I'd like to see an example of literally anyone saying "trans people don't exist", and that doesn't include pointing out that the term is meaningless and can include anyone. Who tf populates your subs if trans people don't exist? Who tf are we talking about here? The argument is simply that a man can never become a woman and vice versa (which is a scientific fact), and that it's harmful to validate someone's delusions, especially to the point that they mutilate their own body.

If your definition has unmentioned "exceptions" it is not a rigorous definition. Things like prime numbers are rigorously well defined.

That's literally all of science. I'm guessing this person is also anti-vax because vaccines aren't 100% effective with zero exceptions. Just kidding, I already know they aren't consistent.

Prime numbers aren't science, so he's deeply confused. Of course they're well-defined, everything in math is, as it's based on pure logic and constructed from human thought. Science is an observational field. It's impossible to guarantee that nothing will ever happen that contradicts an observation that you're making today.
