I find those questions to be quite triggering.

I find your use of gun verbiology upsetting, threatening, and prompting of bad feelings and the need to go color with crayons in a room full of fluffy pillows because I am an adult.
 
Simple question. What say you?

I don't think it is a simple question at all.

In many respects you can, in many respects you can't.

Similarly you can empathize with all sorts of people about some things, but not about others. It's not a clear cut yes or no.

If you're talking about the physical feeling of what it's like to be female, then when it comes to things like menstruation and pregnancy, then obviously no. When it comes to other soicological factors, then yes, particularly given gender fluidity in some people. Not to mention, some people are more naturally more empathetic than others.

Yes they are. You're either a male or a female. There are no other alternatives. Funny how nature do that.

Untrue. Not only are gender and sex different, (with gender existing on a scale) even sex doesn't fall into two neat categories.

Normally guys have XY and girls have XX chromosomes. But you can get all sorts of situations where people have XXY, XXYY, XYY etc etc
