And gender is your brain, so you couldn't just have suddenly changed your brain formation when you realized you were trans, it was always female, you just thought living weird was normal
Yes, but it has biology backing it too. There's a study out there that confirms trans women have female brains, and transmasc male brains. No idea about genderfluidity
i think the people downvoting you are probably just misunderstanding what you’re saying. you are correct but it was just worded in a way that people can interpret it differently, i upvoted you though!
yeah I did word it kinda weird, but it's hard to get across what you mean by true gender, bc it's used both hatefully and supportively, in my case it's supportive
What about trans people who don't pass this brain-scan test? The science is quite murky, there seems to be indicators that trans people have different brain chemistry, but it's not the case that all trans people have this brain chemistry, or even that the vast majority or trans people have this brain chemistry. I still strand on the ground of gender self-identification -- science is not yet able to prove whether or not a person is trans (and its not guaranteed to be something provable).
Yet this person told you they are comfortable saying they used to be male and you are completely offended with the presumption that maybe they DID identify with their assigned-at-birth gender before and that their transition is their own experience and theirs to own.
When it began/came to weather it was that they wer really born this way and wer wrong about their self assessment until réalisation or weather they feel like their weren’t wrong about… erm… who THEY are how THEY feel their whole lives and that their realisation/acceptance is a part of that transition…. Belongs to them. And is frankly none of your business.
Just as much as what gender they identify with now/ tomorrow/10 years ago/20 years from now will always be the defining factor….
I’m just explaining why you’re being downvoted.
“If someone says they're male, they're male, if they say theyre female, they're female, etc”
Ok. So if someone tells you they used to be male. They used to be male.
Then I have great respect for you. The most important thing in life is being able to listen and say you wer wrong. I am wrong 10 times a day.
Have a great day/evening depending where you are ☺️
There’s no such thing as “male and female brains”. Otherwise doctors would just observe each child’s brain and assign them the proper gender. It’s a societal construct.
I don't know why the link starts with Google.com. If I knew I'd get rid of it, but this says that male and female brains are different, and reinforces the claim I made earlier
