See, there are biological men and women. If a human does not feel like it, what is the problem, what is the solution?

It reminds me of the debate „is it a hardware or software problem“. You could fix the software (driver) or the hardware. Or state „this configuration just does not work“.

Back to transgenders. Assume male hardware with software that wants to run on female hardware. Okay, change some parts of the hardware, improve. But don‘t expect compatibility or even equality to original hardware.

The reality of biological sex as a “hardware” function is vastly more complex than you are (apparently) aware, human beings do not actually arrive in one of two binary forms that fit comfortably into your bias towards biological essentialism.

Any attempt to divide human beings into two neat categories will always fail, unless it’s a line between the informed and the ignorant on a specific topic.
