A transgender woman is someone who is currently living in society as a woman, but was born with the assigned gender of male, as defined by the A4TE. This means that a transgender woman is always going to, regardless of gender identity, on a genetic scale, remain a man. If the author of this posts means that transgender women are biologically men, they are correct; however, it becomes arguable to untrue if the author means to say that a transgender woman cannot be perceived in society as a woman. Posts such as this, while factually true, are typically made with the intention of attacking transgender people to invalidate their personal identity.

Can't be true or false (Opinion, poem, etc.)
