why cant we adress people depending on their biological sex? it would make everything easier and people can still feel whatever they feel / want to feel / think what they feel.

Because forcing you to address them as something they are not is a power move. That's it, that's the extent of it. It let's them feel they have power over other's, by forcing them to adhere to that which is not real.

Because you can't always tell what someone's biological sex is just by looking at them, so how would you determine that? Are you gonna force people to do chromosome testing before you decide what to refer to them as? Check out what they got in their pants?

Or you know, we could just ask them what they prefer to go by or have them tell us and just not be weirdos about it like polite, mature adults.

Like, we just saw a good example of this with that Algerian boxer at the Olympics, and now she is rightfully taking legal action against the weird ass people who "decided" what they thought was her biological sex based off just ~vibes~.
