That's a good point you make! I can see the logic there. Thank you for closely reading my work and looking at my points.

I believe that trans women should be classified as women because I've seen myself that the world is a better place when trans people are considered the gender they align to be rather than what they are assigned at birth. I know multiple trans people who are really good people who contribute greatly to society and truly make the world a better place, who almost left this life due to the dysphoria they felt being trans. I also know a number of trans people who didn't make it and chose to end their own lives due to the dysphoria, which included being gendered as their biological sex. This includes family members of mine who I am truly sad were pushed to death because of other's misgendering them.

Many people I care about, who are trans, have told me they would not be alive if they weren't allowed to transition. I know trans women who have been raped, by both men and women, and trans people who have physically assaulted and severely injured for being trans.

I have known some of these people for years both before and after transitioning, and despite the assault, rape, and abuse, their lives have greatly improved after transition and have made it clear they wouldn't be alive if they had to live the other way.

I've seen with my own eyes that the world is better place with my friends alive and thriving, and if it means we change a definition of man vs woman to include them, then I feel it is worth it rather than get rid of trans people by allowing them to be assaulted, pushing them into suicide, and not allowing them to safely use the bathroom in public.
