So we agree that there are

XX - woman XY - man

And some genetic mutationa in between XXY - Klinfelter syndrome XXXY - no idea how this is called X -Turner syndrome XX intersex XY intersex And true gonadal intersex

And still these are medical conditions, a man on drugs wearing a wig is still a man, and a woman on drugs to grow facial hair is still a woman.

It's a he and a she regardless

Honey, nobody claims that trans women are biologically identical to cis women or the other way around. Sex is not gender.

And chromosomal deviations is exactly what the PhD in the OP is talking about. You can call them medical conditions if you like, but that doesn't change the fact that there are XY women and XX cis men.

Ok here I can see my lack in logic. I understood that the PhD was saying that XX can change into XY during the life of the person, not that they are born XY and naturally develop female traits.

My only pet peeve with all this is "misgendering" which I honestly despise. If one is a grown up 180cm male I'm never gonna call him a "her" just because of a wig and makeup.

But if someone was raised as a woman because that's how her body developed even if she has XY chromosomes I won't call her "he".

just because of a wig and makeup

Why do bigots always assume trans women can't grow their own hair?

Is the assumption seriously that your average trans woman looks like a burly bearded man with a receding hairline?
