"real" men and "real" women

If you are transgender, have had a mastectomy, are naturally slim, naturally curvy, gay, straight, tall, short, large framed, small framed, black, white, asian etc etc and you are a woman, then CONGRATULATIONS! You are a real woman!
Sorry but I don't consider gay or transgender as a real woman. I don't discriminate them but to consider them "real women" wherein they were born with a penis without a uterus is a way off.
How the heck are gay women not real women somehow?
As far as trans women, there is no such thing as "biologically male" or "biologically female". Having a penis does not automatically make a person a man.
Biological sex is a combination of genotype and phenotype.
Phenotype is way more important in social interactions than genotype. Most people never find out what their genotype is.
With today's technology, phenotype can be changed.
Primary sexual characteristics? Can be changed.
Secondary sexual characteristics? Can be changed.
Endocrine levels? Can be changed.
Also, if your gender identity revolves solely around your genitals, I feel sorry for you.
I take great pride in my genitals. I should post a pic of them.
You should. After all, without proof of your genitals, how are we to know if you're a REAL man or not?

I had this argugment with a skinhead looking guy i worked with.
He could not grasp gender and sexuality as two seprate things, If you identify as a female inside how can you be gay it just makes no sense.
Also some of the best curves ive seen on a woman turned out to be a man, infact its one the funnest games to play with a homophob0 -
great comment
I guess what people are trying to say is that having curves makes you as real a woman as anyone else but you are right - why label.0 -

Oh yeah, that's a great game haha.
Also, to the woman above who made the ignorant comment about not being a 'real' woman unless you have a uterus (I'm pretty sure lots of gay women have uterus's, as a side note), my stepmum had a hysterectomy, an operation to have her uterus removed. Is she therefore not a real woman? What about female victims of genital mutilation who may not be able to have sex, or may have been rendered infertile by the process?0 -

Hi are you saying that lesbians arent real women? Surely not..... the use of the word 'them' implies that there is an 'us', I'm not sure about that either,
edit as I just spotted my *kitten* in my an us, I'll just add the apostrophes lol!!!!!0
