No. His point (which he stated almost verbatim, so I'm confused as to why you missed it) was that your feelings do not determine whether you are male or female. Your chromosomes do.
Well the way he said it verbatim was not debatable. He said your biological sex determines your biological sex, when obviously everyone is talking about gender identification. I did not miss that. I found it to be completely irrelevant.
I would address a transgender person with the pronoun associated with their biological sex,
How do you even do that? How do you determine the biological sex of the person you're talking to? Do you ask for blood samples? But that's not perfect either because there are women with a y chromosome, so you'd have to go by genitals. That seems hardly practical.
This is all rhetorical nonsense. You identify the gender of a person by the way they dress and behave. You wouldn't think for a second: I hope I'm using the biologically correct pronoun here. You'd use the one that's overtly obvious, and that one has nothing to do with the genitals or the chromosomes of that person.
