Sex is determined by a combination of biological attributes, often referred to as
sex characteristics. These characteristics can be broadly categorized into three areas:
- Chromosomes: In humans, sex is typically determined by two chromosomes, X and Y. Females normally have XX chromosomes, while males have XY chromosomes. However, there can be variations in chromosome makeup.
- Anatomy: This includes a person's reproductive organs (genitals) and other physical features influenced by sex hormones.
- Hormones: Sex hormones, like estrogen and testosterone, play a role in the development of sex characteristics and influence functions like reproduction.

Good point. But in the usual language "sex" means "genitalia", so when I'm saying this:
"
So to the question :
"can we change reproductive organs ?" The answer is "probably, but lets wait a bit longer tho"
And to the question:
"can we change sex ?" The answer is : yes
"
.. I'm refering to sex in the usual language. But yes technically you can't change ALL sexual characteristics (like you chromosomes), at least not in the near future. Which is irrelevant to begin with in the discussion about transgender since :
Sex (male and female and intersex characteristics)
=/= gender (man / woman / genderfluid / etc.)
Therefore when someone is saying "a trans women is not a women", they are not referencing to sexual attribute (female characteristics) but to the gender and identity of the women.. which they are denying.. Making the statement a transphobic one.
So to the question:
"Is saying transwomen are not women transphobic ?" The answer is a BIG yes and it should be treated as such...
Which is something the staff here is not doing..
... Which will put the staff and this forum in trouble in the future, since the One PIece Fanbase is growing toward a more progressive audience.
