Wrong. Health has many aspects. Somebody can be totally reproductively healthy and be trans, and somebody can be unhealthy and still have a lot of kids. There is no connection between health and reproduction except when specifically talking about reproductive health.
You are equating health with reproductive fitness, and it is incorrect. You should go back to uni if this is the understanding you got from the experience.
ooh yes, health has many aspects. prove you dont have one of them and you prove the person unhealthy, which is exactly what i did. first of all, there is a connection between health and reproduction POTENTIAL. that word is the most important and you (purposefully or not) omitted it. if you cant optimally reproduce, you are not healthy. by the WHO definition, if you cant do pretty much ANYTHING optimally, you are not healthy. for a statistically significant sample of free people (to rule out outliers and ideologies like islam where women are pretty much forced), if you have a suboptimal desire to have kids, you will have a suboptimal number of kids, period. you are inferior to a healthy human in that particular thing and by WHO, you are not healthy
the thing you cant seem to understand in this particular case is this: it doesnt really matter what the reason is for someone having a suboptimal potential to have children, as long as he has a suboptimal potential. now, you took trans people, a case which is really hard to defend. but even in cases that are easier to defend, like gay people, the result is the same. for them the only reason to have less children (and here i mean their own children, with genes of one of the parents), is because they simply arent attracted to the opposite sex (which is why they usually choose to adopt). and that reason alone makes them unhealthy by the WHO definition, reason being "suboptimal reproduction potential due to any reason"

wrong. reproductive potential doesnt equate to health, but it is only a small part of health. not sure how you didnt understand that, i said it like 10 times
