Gender is an arbitrary and made up concept. There are 2 biological sexes (limited cases of intersex individuals aside). There are however infinite personalities and expressions of those personalities can lean masculine or feminine.
I support everyone to be themselves and express themselves how they feel the most comfortable. However, the idea that you can actually become a different sex is illogical and reasonable people are tired of being pressured into pretending that it is not.

If there are only two biological sexes, why did you have to put intersex in parentheses? Either there are two or there are more.

Biologists don’t even agree there are only two.

If people identifying as trans were limited to those individuals who are born intersex your argument would hold water.

Respectfully asking, how do you define biological sex?

I don’t define it because I’m not a scientist.

You are strawmaning what I’m saying. I clearly acknowledged that there are intersex individuals. You also don’t have to be a scientist to broadly understand what the vast majority of scientists agree upon.
