You've heard a lot about us. Almost none of it was science.
Trans women are not “biological males.”
It's the phrase the whole “debate” rests on — and it's bad science. Sex isn't one switch you read at birth; it's chromosomes, hormones, anatomy and neurology, which can and do diverge. Being transgender has a deep, biologically-based origin of its own — identical twins, prenatal hormones, and brain studies all point the same way. So “biological male” misdescribes the very biology it claims to invoke. And it's not “experimental”: NIH's own PubMed lists 20,000+ studies on transgender health.

Why this site exists
You might tune it out as culture-war nonsense, suspiciously similar to other hate campaigns. But as humans, given enough repetition, we still internalize framing and assumptions that can be entirely disconnected from science — especially when even liberal news adopts and parrots the same shifts.
Consider how much time you've spent reading, hearing, and watching cisgender people opine on "the transgender question." Match a little of that time here — and leave a bit better, and smarter, than we found you.
