I don't recall saying they are not being discriminated against? That's not what I meant.
I specifically say sex and gender in the same sentence because that's the feel I got from reading some comments here and out there that biology defines both...which it doesn't. Sex is male or female, gender being man or woman. And also everything in between (intersex or people with a difference of sexual development for instance) Some believe genitals determine sex, with males having penises and females having vaginas. However, this definition excludes many cases. Trans people often have chromosomes that don’t “match” their sex. A transgender woman, for example, can be female but still have XY chromosomes. So just basing sex and/or gender just on the biological aspect of it is risky and counter-productive. Sex may be far more complex than what the traditional male-female binary accounts for. Again, not arguing or calling people names. I'm trying to understand some logic here (ie should transwomen who went through surgery must still be denied access to women's toilets? etc)
