Question

Trans women are men.

Comments

You have no source to back up your claim. With out proper sources you can't just make a statement true. Like another commenter said if you're saying that a trans woman is biologically a man that is true. How ever a trans woman will always be perceived as a woman with or without this statement. This claim seems to be based on an opinion and not even backed up so it's not reliable to just take the posters words for true.

I agree with this fact check as there is no source backing up the claim and It appears this person just chose to come on this website to be hateful and make harmful claims. They cant even back up their claim

Answer 1

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.

This response was very well worded and laid out. You got straight to the point without using an opinion and remained factual, giving solid definitions and no room for rebuttal. You also still quoted a strong source which is always helpful.

I appreciated the transparency and factual approach to this answer. It's great how you differentiate the biological aspect from the social aspect, making a clear argument.

Answer 2

This claim is bigoted and unsupported. The original “evidence” of this post was a BlueSky post that has since been deleted. BlueSky is a social media platform which is purely opinion based and requires no fact check, peer editing, nor does it require any evidence to back up people's thoughts, making BlueSky a very unreliable source of evidence. The claim itself is also provably false as the NIH (National Institute of Health) did a study where they analysed the brain function of a transgender woman (a woman assigned male at birth but who identifies as a female) and found that her brain functioned more like a cis women's brain than a cis man's brain. This study consisted of 6 trans women who were attracted to men and 18 trans women attracted to women all of whom had not undergone hormone therapy. The study compared their brain scans against the brain scans of 24 cis women and 24 cis men. Their results showed that trans women's brains were more similar to those of cis women than to those of cis men. This study proves that trans women are not men as their brains do not function like men’s and instead function like womens. While trans women do have the anatomy of men, they do not have the brain function of men, and are therefore NOT men.

Answer 3

Your claim has no backup and has a link to an invalid and deleted source.
The claim that "Trans women are men" is false. Trans women are women because gender identity is different from biological sex. Major medical and psychological organizations, like the American Psychological Association and the World Health Organization, recognize transgender identities as valid. Gender is not just about biology but also about identity and lived experience. Many countries and legal systems recognize trans women as women, and studies show that gender identity is deeply rooted in personal and neurological factors. Denying this goes against scientific, medical, and legal understanding of gender. According to the American Psychological Association (APA), “Transgender people’s gender identity is valid and should be respected.”
