Yes, of course, but they will appear to your average person in the street as neither one nor the other, I'm afraid, even if they detransition later. What I find most disconcerting about the whole thing is that all these young females will have done this stunning and brave thing for absolutely nothing because they, along with 'transchildren' are merely shields for 'transwomen'.

They are incidental to the story, and the men are the star of the show. I wish that women would stop being so self-sacrificial. I do understand it probably has something to do with biology and with competition, but the stupidity and lack of forethought they display towards their own wellbeing, for the sake of appearing allies of men who care absolutely nothing about them, does lend one to believe that females do themselves no favours.

I was reading something about the two chimpanzee sub species, chimps and bonobos, our closest DNA relatives. Apparently, the only real difference between them except in size (with the males in both being larger than the females, albeit bonobos are smaller overall) is that they are organized differently.

In chimp society, the females are always subordinate to the higher ranking males who often treat them atrociously, and have been known to kill them, but, interestingly, it is almost always females who approach strange objects first, while the males scream in anxiety, and, again, it is almost always females who initiate new ways of feeding and surviving by discovering new foods to eat and how to secure them, using tools, and who pass these skills on to the next generation.

In bonobo society, the females are dominant, and can be aggressive, but far less so than chimps, and extensive studies of both sub species have shown that, while female initiative is crucial to chimp survival, it is largely unrewarded and unrecognized by the high ranking male chimps, while bonobo society, just as successful, rests on powerful female solidarity, largely missing from chimp society.

Fewer members are killed or attacked, and harmony is the usual state of affairs in bonobo society. There is a lesson there for human females, and one that the 'trans' lobby/activists have exploited. They have banked on females being antagonistic to other females, and, alarming for them, older, experienced women have formed a sisterhood which is standing up to the 'transwomen', and they do not like it - which, in itself, says a great deal about them: they are female exclusionary; they are misogynistic; and they want female erasure. Why? We stand in their way from having it all.
