Let me preface by saying that I myself am not making a political statement, just a quick retort/correction:

"...Seems they [biologists] have achieved something like a consensus on the matter [trans women are women]. I don't see anything inherently political"

No, that's not a scientific question or statement, it's a sociological one, which makes it intrinsically political.

We, as a society, or a large enough group, can come up with a consensus belief that trans rights are human rights and that we can collectively treat other people by the gender role of their choice.

But biologically speaking, being trans doesn't change one's chromosomes. Which is why I think it's misguided to say that trans issues are actually questions that hard science should answer, they aren't.

Which, ironically, is why Elon's moronic AI gambit is failing (by his metrics), because the online culture he used to as a dataset to train it, has collectively agreed that trans women are women, amongst other social and political opinions that his sycophants can't stand.

He probably should have trained it with TruthSocial's cesspool instead.

I can't wait to see Tay AI 2.0 level reincarnation after they "retrain it". It's going be to hilarious.
