If cisgender people REALLY thought “biological sex” was important and weren’t just using it to police trans people who complain about health forms, they would 

• ask why there’s no intersex option on health forms 
• ask why there isn’t a different column where you denote if you’re trans and whether you plan on getting surgery (you know, since that affects your HEALTH) 
• use their cis privilege to point out the flaws in running health on a male/female system 
• stop saying “biological sex” while ignoring the existence of intersex people, as well as people with hormonal imbalances that put them at risk for disorders that typically don’t apply to their “biological sex”

basically it’s really obvious that cis people only say “they NEED to ask male or female on health forms its for your HEALTH” to get trans people to shut up, because cis people are scared of change

This post opened my eyes. I had thought about a part on a form to denote that someone is trans. I never thought about mentioning surgery plans, maybe hormone treatment, or intersex options on medical forms until now. This should become a thing.

I’m actually completely for this because this is the best solution to the entire problem.
