==== This is not a scientific question alone—it has biological, social, legal, and philosophical components. ====

Scientific fact:
* Trans women are biologically male at birth.
* Transition involves social, legal, and often medical processes.
* In medicine and psychology, trans women are recognized as a category of women for purposes of treatment, identity, and social integration.

Legal and social fact:
* Many countries and institutions legally define trans women as women.

Jordan Peterson’s view:
He rejects the definition “trans women are women” and treats gender identity as secondary to biological sex.

Is he generally right?
No, not in mainstream psychology or law.
Biologically, sex remains male.
Socially/legally, trans women are recognized as women.
His view aligns with biological essentialism, not with modern gender-identity frameworks.
