We understand genomes, chromosomes, sex, gender, race, attributes, terminology etc.
We learn as we go, and our language and understanding of the world around us changes as we do.
Some things that we were previously unaware of, can make us uncomfortable. These issues range from big to small, unreal to lacklustre. And there is always a critic around, on either side, trying to elbow others out of the way to give their lonely opinion
We have attributed certain features to biological men, and certain features to biological women over our existence.
These are what can be called, gender attributes. Male and female.
Who is actually stubborn enough to still believe there is no overlap between male and female attributes?
Can a biological man, who believes he is male, have any female attributes?
Can he paint his fingernails, grow his hair long, cry, bake, stay at home and raise children? Can he have a sexual relationship with another biological man?
Or are these no longer gender attributes that we hold to be true? Are they now more fluid, in that they are attributes of both men and women?
Or do no attributes matter, other than giving birth, having a period, and chromosomes?
We don't know all the answers yet. There are countless issues that arise when applied to real world scenarios. There are problems that exist in the movements.
But bigots who are using it as a last line of defence against LGBTQ+, for whatever disgraceful and ignorant view they have on homosexuals etc... they are the ones that should be called out, more than someone asking to be referred to by their name, or by 'they'.
It's sad to see how many in our society have been conned into hating these people, while defending the bigots.
