There are always exceptions. For example: Hermaphrodites can have X-X-Y chromosomes. They can also have X-X chromosomes (female) but have some male anatomy. A very famous actress falls into that category.
You might think it's really rare, but intersex people constitute an estimated 1.7% of the population. That's nearly 1 in every 50 people, which is nearly as common as having red hair. True hermaphrodites are much more rare.
There are always variations and special circumstances. Not everything can be simply written off as being a severe mental condition. The world is not always black & white. Nature has some gray areas. I'm willing to concede that there are some people (although rare) that fall into the category of "other". It happens. It can't be denied, because there are too many obvious examples. I know one woman that has both male and female parts and was born that way. Some people develop "parts" during puberty. For some reason, it's more prevalent in Southern Africa, but it happens in all populations to some extent.
A hermaphrodite is a naturally occurring phenomenon that is rare. That is completely different then a biological male taking hormones to block testosterone, having their penis removed and a cavity created.
Again, that is a perversion of nature and is not a female.
I will a accept "other" but I will not except female.
The exception doesn't prove the rule either. Yes, some people can be born with 2 faces or 3 arms because of horrible birth defects with an underdeveloped twin. But that doesn't mean that 'some people have 3 arms, bigot!'
Even if the 3-armed went on to have progeny, they would not have children with 3 arms. Not an adoption, not passed on, not in DNA, just a horrible and sad outcome for someone blameless as to how things turned out for them.
A person with XXY chromosomes is a male with an extra X chromosome. But instead of getting hung up on that in my reply, I decoded to focus on the original comment which is that a male that has gone through reassignment surgery and taking hormones is a female. I completely disagree.
Unlike someone born with a birth defect, hermaphrodites and "intersex" conditions can be genetically passed. It is an inherited trait, although still rare. I believe some homosexuals and transgenders fall into that same category, that it is genetically linked.
Probably 80% of homo / transgender is just a result of serious mental conditions... or taught by society and conditioning by being exposed to perverted crap like that by our society, media, school systems and politicians. However, I believe that about 20% of the cases are either biologically intersex, or the condition was genetically passed down.
As case in point; My family and all of my extended relatives on both Mom & Dad's side (cousins, aunts & uncles, nieces & nephews) are not gay or trans. Not one in the bunch. There isn't even a question about it. It's partially from upbringing, but also because there was never any indication of anything of the sort from any one of the relatives. It didn't have to be taught, because it's not in our blood.
My wife's family is different. Her uncle was gay. She has two cousins that are gay. She has 3 nieces/nephews that are gay. They weren't raised to be gay, in fact the opposite was true. They grew up in good hard-working Christian families, rural communities which didn't tolerate LGBTQ and they really didn't have much contact with each other either. It wasn't "learned" behavior. I believe it was genetic in her dad's side of her family. Her mother's side were absolutely not gay in any way and none of the relatives on that side were.
I've seen examples time and again where that seems to travel in family lines, so part of it has to be genetic. I even knew a guy who was adopted at less than 1 month old, by a respected surgeon and his family. The entire adoptive family was straight, well educated, etc... but he turned out not only gay, but really gay. His real mom had that multiple people in her family that were... so it's no surprise that he had it too, even though he was adopted and raised by an entirely different family and never had contact with his mom or relatives. There has to be a genetic link to at least 20% of cases.
Your first paragraph was correct. Your second paragraph was garbage and it disgusts me that one of our own is pandering that shit.
