Re: Should transwomen be legally treated as women?
Don't forget drivers insurance. I could have saved a bunch of money as a teen by suddenly discovering that I was a girl.
No, they are not biological women and never will be. I can understand some kind of third status, but recognizing them and legally treating them as biological women shouldn't happen because they aren't. Many things that apply to real women like reproductive health, motherhood, military draft requirements and other such things don't merit special status for a transwoman.
Also, I don't think the government should be under any compulsion to give into their own desired gender status.
I'm okay with them designating themselves as female on licenses, government forms and whatnot (same for transmen), but other issues like pregnancy health insurance coverage, draft issues and other such things need to be different.
