The whole post is a word vomit full of assumptions with no sources to back things up. It assumes that because schools teach a simplified version of biology, it is therefore falsified in many areas, saying that there are only 46 chromosomes with no room for further exploration, and that people take the false lessons literally.
There is a cognitive bias known as “what you see is all there is”: the assumption that what one currently knows must represent the whole picture. This bias is evident in transphobic arguments.
Normal people has the "What you see is all there is" bias?.... So like trannies wearing up like a woman is fully a woman?
For them, biology begins and ends with the simplified version taught in high school. Yet “basic” biology is not the most fundamental or immutable truth. It is a deliberately simplified introduction designed not to overwhelm students, not a complete description of reality. Advanced study in biology reveals a far more complex landscape, with more specializations than any single person could master in a lifetime.
No shit. But we know that trannies, are advanced biology scientists.
Basic biology tells students that humans have 46 chromosomes. Yet medical genetics recognizes people with 47 chromosomes, such as in Down syndrome. This is not an exception to biology but a part of it. Reality is not invalidated because it is less common. Even if a condition exists in only one person, it still exists, and that fact must be accounted for.
Yeah because these are abnormal cases like the writer acknowledged. Yes, XXY exists, and individuals with such condition are dysfunctional and sick. I wonder how many trannies are hijacking them and exploiting the fact that such people exist, as a device to disguise their sick fetish?
Cancer exists, but you can't larp as a cancer victim just because you have some shared commons with a cancer victim, like back pain
Those people like to strip away lingustic context in order to push things to an absolutism. Even if a boomer today says, "trannies does not exist", he would be corect given the right context. Vast majority of the trannies does not have different biological makeup to normal men. To deny this, is to deny material reality.
Stripping biology down to its most basic concepts does not reveal the distilled truth of the discipline, it does the opposite. The simplified version taught in high school conceals the full truth rather than exposing it. It is only through advanced study that biology begins to show us what is actually happening. Ignoring that fuller reality cannot possibly yield a clearer picture of the world, it can only result in distortion.
When transphobes accuse us of not understanding ''basic biology'' we should remind them that it is they who refuse to understand biology by refusing to move beyond the elementary level.
