This is patently false: "There are two sexes. Men are male. Women are female."
Just google "porn shemales". This is really kind of dumb post not taking into account reality.

Just because someone, somewhere in the world, out there on the Internet, says something weird. It isn't a worldwide 'leftist' conspiracy.
The internet is full of kooks. Ditto to those who fly off the handle in moral outrage at unseen and vague 'opponents'.
Honestly, the number of these posts accusing 'leftist' or 'liberals' or other similar anonymous group says more about those who post them and the nature of the 'sources'.
But don't worry, because it will get re-posted and commented and cross-posted and opinionized to death and that then makes it real.
I think media sources write stuff so it's the most controversial. It's click bait. People who think a certain way are played into clicking on these stories and reposting them like fiddle.
I think the transgender people should be left alone. Most of us will probably never meet one our whole lives. There are way more important problems in the World like endless wars, healthcare gouging, etc...

And what is the percentage of people outside of being just male and female?
Maybe less than .003 percent of the population?
So, why should that voice guide us versus the more common people?

Shemales are still biological men, a DNA test will always show that. There is a genetic mutation which can result in a person being born with both genitalia, that is the closest things to a 3rd gender. Personally I don't really see much issue with letting a male call themselves a female if they are quite feminine, what annoys me is when bulked up hairy idiots try to play into it.
It seems to me we need to create some clear separations between biological gender and self-assigned gender. It's fine if they want to identify as another gender but they need to realize they are still biologically a certain gender, and that's very important information when it comes to things like medical records, otherwise they simply cannot receive the most appropriate treatment.
Human males have 'both genders' expressed in their DNA and in their chromosomes (chromosomes are particular ways DNA strands are folded and twisted to pack them into the space of the cell).
The most normal chromosomal expression for human males is X-Y (the Y chromosome usually contains the SRY gene which is a primary determinant of male characteristics).
The most normal chromosomal expression for human females is XX.
This does not preclude other chromosomal mixes such as XO, XXY, XYY, XXYY, XXX, XXXX and XXXXX.

Other than sporting events I don't think it really matters. I don't care what people think they are. Not my business.

Regardless of your knowledge of shemales, there are still only two sexes via DNA.

Did that woman sign a contract saying that she would not discriminate based on gender?
I'm looking at one now. I know that if I sign it I will have no choice. It doesn't bother me because it really doesn't bother me but maybe the person in the OP did the same without thinking about the consequences.
...a tax expert at the Center for Global Development, a British think tank. In 2018, her organization fired her after she posted comments on Twitter that criticized the U.K. government’s plans to let people self-identify according to the gender they choose.
She tweeted her agreement with Fair Play for Women, a feminist group that opposes allowing biological men into women’s sports. She said, “I share the concerns of @fairplaywomen that radically expanding the legal definition of ‘women’ so that it can include both males and females makes it a meaningless concept, and will undermine women’s rights & protections for vulnerable women & girls.”
The tribunal rejected her claim. In a lengthy judgment issued on Dec. 18, Judge James Tayler ruled that her view is “not worthy of respect in a democratic society,” calling it “absolutist” and “incompatible with human dignity and fundamental rights of others.”
What’s more, Tayler said Forstater’s views are not protected as a “philosophical belief” under the Equality Act 2010, even though “religion or belief” is one of the nine categories protected in the law. The Equality Act is the basis of anti-discrimination law in Great Britain.
Dress however you please.
Call yourself whatever you like.
Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you.
Live your best life in peace and security.
But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?
#IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill
“Hermione is smart, talented, and 100% gender critical,” Rowling posted in response to a fan’s question about Hermione’s favourite flavour of ice cream. “Hermione believes that sex is a biological fact determined by chromosomes, and that male predators will use trans-friendly legislation to assault women,” Rowling said, answering another question about what kind of dog Hermione likes best.
However, the VAST majority of the shemales [snip] on porn sites are males with a boob job on female hormone treatments.

Let's not forget that there are people that exist on this planet (and forum) that are intersex. Legitimately destroys the male/female binary discourse right out of the water.
