Sex is not 'assigned at birth', and anyone using this phrase is clearly demonstrating that, willingly or unwittingly, they have been ideologically captured. Sex is not 'assigned' and this doesn't happen, 'at birth'. Sex is innate, and most often observed in utero.

Dear
@BBCNews
, sex is not 'assigned at birth'. Saying '1 in 10 people' obscures the stat. Also, the reason there is 'no known cause or cure' is undoubtedly because this is an issue that only affects women, and has been consistently overlooked.

Imagine being an elected politician, AND male, and tweeting 'men don't know the sex of their rape victims'. This should be career ending. But it won't be - because it's about women.
If a man threatens to rape a woman, he is unlikely to know if the victim is born a woman or a trans woman.
That behaviour should logically be seen as misogynistic. Again, this aligns with existing legislation protecting people from abuse motivated by prejudice. This is not new.
