The form of sexism called biological essentialism is the belief that your body is the main thing that makes you who you are. It is supposed to define you forever, no matter what you change about yourself, think about yourself, or anything. It says the [[Sex#Assigned Gender At Birth|gender you were assigned at birth]] must be your only real gender. Biological essentialism is used to justify most forms of sexism.
