The transgender movement ignores the distinction between gender and sex all the time. Funny how we don't see you criticizing when they do it.

For example: birth certificates list sex, not gender. But many of them insist on changing their birth certificate to reflect something they were not born as.

Pronouns also reference biological sex rather than gender, since throughout history they were automatically applied to a baby upon its birth.

This is actually quite funny because in actual usage pronouns are almost always referring to someone's gender.

Transphobes overestimate the frequency of misgendering because they wildly underestimate the number of trans people who are read as the gender they present as. Even in the era of history preceding the invention of hormone replacement therapy, there are quite a few examples of likely trans people who lived as the the opposite sex, and there are doubtless many more who were never outed.

People don't generally assume that random people they meet are transgender!

Men can't get pregnant. If a 'birthing person' gives birth, they are a woman. Trans men can be men, but they clearly aren't if they give birth to a child.

What is it about giving birth which meaningfully changes a person's gender?

The adult human female part.

I'm aware you firmly believe that trans people don't exist (or whatever circumlocution you would use to say that), I was asking theflyingmongoose whose in-between position appears to be inconsistent.

no man has ever gotten pregnant or given birth and no man ever will. it’s a specifically and intrinsically female experience, and the most important and defining one at that.
I hope uterine transplants become a thing just to see if you react with the ideologically consistent "okay, trans women who get uterine transplants are women" or the more likely "b... but he wasn't born a woman! That's not his uterus!".
If the former, are trans people the gender they say they are without the need for affirming fertility apparatuses, provided they fail to bear children? It's fine if we're not, I just want to gather information about your views.

It's possible the argument comes from that if one has a child, they are 'surrendering' being male. Or, to put it in other terms, if one is truly transgender they wouldn't participate in cisgender things.
"Cisgender things"?

Traditional gender things, like childbirth for women for instance.

What if, say, a trans man is forced to carry a child to term by the overturning of Roe v. Wade?
