Undetectable is probably the wrong word. Certainly there are people who will produce false positives and false negatives on different possible tests, but not in a way that supports TFs point.
You sure about that? Seems like quite a sweeping statement to make without sweeping evidence
I'm struggling to understand this question. Do you think that there are trans people who are physically indistinguishable from cis people?
Given that people go about for most their lives undiagnosed with intersex or unusual developmental conditions, there sort of must be?
uhh…yes? Especially if you have grs and start on hormones young, absolutely you’d never know unless you cut us open.

I believe there are, yes.
I think you are pretty radically overstating what present-day medical technology is able to achieve.
edit: I don't think this line of discussion is productive, if Lexicus wishes to answer my second question I would appreciate it, otherwise I am happy to leave it there.
Please see my previous post.
I'm sorry, where can I find the second question you refer to?
edit: Anyway, that isn't really the point, it should be clear enough that the great trans people are not physically indistinguishable from cis people, so my broader point stands: unless we're relegating trans-ness to the world of abstract identity, if we accept that trans-ness is in practice tied up with the reality of a trans body, then we must surely allow room for people who are not romantically or sexually attracted to trans people without inferring animus towards trans people.
It's not productive because YOU ARE INCORRECT.
Edit:
Do you really think you know better than a bunch of people who have either experienced that medical science or have studied it anticipating experiencing it or have at least socialized with a lot of trans folk across the entire "spectrum of passing"? Seriously?
I don’t say “why do you engage in this topic” to people who engage in the topic. Fire away.
I say “why do you engage in this topic,” to people who repeatedly come into these topics to tell me that they don’t care about these topics. If you don’t care then that’s fine, but why do you keep coming in here??
Probably a nerd thing. Some kind of irresistible tendency to excrete their opinion, especially an ideologically conservative one.I don’t say “why do you engage in this topic” to people who engage in the topic. Fire away.
