A good trans activist or queer theorist will tell you that sex doesn't matter, that it is fluid, and that gender supersedes it. However, were sex not a real thing, were any of their assertions about it true, then being trans-identified wouldn't be the novel, bold, and profound thing worth celebrating that they claim it to be.
It would be no more spectacular than the reality of male and female already is. We would no more bat an eye at trans identification than clownfish do when one of their own changes sex. It would just be a part of normal life - no more transcendent an experience than any other part of human development. Which is not to say that human development isn't amazing in its own right, but rather to illustrate that it doesn't move us in the way that trans activists believe we should be moved by someone's gender journey.
