Question

Trans women are men

Answer 1

Biologically speaking, a trans woman is a man. However, gender identity is different from biological sex, and a trans woman's gender is female, not male. Because the claim is not entirely clear, this can be rated as opinion/ can't be true or false.

This took the words right out of my mouth in a very simplified, fact-based manner, using biological facts about the difference between biological sex and gender. You also point out that because the claim is not very clear, it is an opinion rather than something proven to be true or false.

This response created a clearer answer towards a very controversial and complex topic. The links you provided also added a scientific perspective as well.

I think your explanation did a good job of staying true to journalist perspectives about the topic and understanding that opinion bias is a big part of this. The sources you provided are helpful but maybe I would acknowledge how/if they are reliable sources.

This is, unfortunately, a highly debated topic and sensitive to some. But I think you used science and fact about gender identity versus biological sex very well! It was concise and a professional answer. The use of more than one source was also a benefit to the argument. Pointing out that the claim is not entirely clear helped keep the answer quick and to the point. Wonderful job!

I wanted to speak on this statement a little because aside from politics and opinions I wanted to simply look at the facts when researching about this statement. I believe that this statement could go either way depending on if you're arguing based on biological facts or identity. When researching this claim, I found that there is a lot of evidence to support the statement using the idea that a transgender woman is a woman who was assigned male at birth but then I thought, “wouldn’t that still make you a man.” Therefore, there is a lot of evidence also connecting the idea that a male body will always have the features of a male and that their DNA make up will consist of XY chromosomes even if you “live your life” as a woman. Overall, with a scientific background on this claim, trans women are men and will always be. And, this claim is 100% opinion based even though I strictly believe the claim is true.
