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 is a good answer to the claim because you bring in a scientific fact without denying that people can identify as what they want. However I think that you could argue that the claim is true through a science point of view because biological facts are different than one’s personal identity.

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!
