This report in the Telegraph.
A transgender NHS doctor at the centre of a legal dispute over changing rooms has insisted they do not have to disclose their biological sex to patients who request a female physician.
What do you think?

I don't know if you understand what the fallacy of conflation is but that is what I am seeing here.

In many of the posts you have conflated two concepts as if they are one. Firstly the, shall we call them, political arguments. Whether I felt for or against the transsexual community, having seen the way those arguments put on here I would want nothing to do with them. That is simply a personal view.

However you then conflate this with an argument about possible changes to humans over time. This is too broad as one argument and makes the whole irrational.

I'm sure that will not stop you tearing into those who disagree with you so, having worked out what was troubling me with your argument I will let you get on with that.

Perhaps you could explain what you think it was. Then, maybe, I can try unravelling again.
Is it that there has been a sudden and accelerated evolution of humans to reverse millennia of biology?

Buying thinking time?

You were actually the one who introduced the changes over time into the thread.
No verifiable changes in there only being two sexes has yet appeared.

It really doesn't mater how you "describe" the second argument Doodledog.

We already know that some aspects of sex can be altered medically because biological sex is not solely determined by chromosomes - transgender people can notably change their physical characteristics via hormone therapy and surgery, but it doesn't alter the underlying genetic make-up and there is no evidence to date that suggests otherwise.

The deep sexism behind the idea for example that a man who removes his penus is now a woman is like something from the dark ages. He is I am afraid still a man.

You see it is too early to writing the word penis.

Is that what’s known as a word salad?

Could equally truthfully be said of you PN.

The only difference is that one of us knows you cannot change sex.
The other prefers using arguments that obfuscate the main issue.
