Because it's not as self explanatory as you seem to think it is.
I'm making the point that the brain knows. You can't condition gender. It's innate.
That comes across as gibberish. Make your point in more detail.
I don't buy this fluid idea that there's no such thing.
Men are not women. Women are not men.
There's not. There's biological sex, there's self-image, and there's self-expression.
David know he was a man despite having female anatomy
And various other things.
I knew I was a woman despite having male anatomy
He did not have female anatomy.
He was born male.
Yes, but they feminized his anatomy after the accident
He was told he was a girl. His body was that of a girl.
But his brain knew better
And forced to hold sexual positions with his brother at an early age to reinforce that.
I don't defend the experiment
It was trying to prove a morally bankrupt idea.
You don't give it any credit for fucking the two of them up, either.
We can agree, there.
Um, I think I just did
No argument
My point is still that the brain knows and that's totally distinct from anatomy
Well except for neuroanatomy
It's worth noting that David believed he was female for a period, as well.
The brain is a tricky thing
(corrected name)
He was confused given all the pressure. Heaven knows I was too.
It was miserable. I wanted to die. Almost did a few times.
Transition saved my life.
His brain knew better. Mine did too.
Dying is definitely not a good thing. Threats of suicide do not equate to being correct, though.
I didn't threaten.
I'm not citing your situation.
Fair enough
Rather frequently, 'transgenderism' is aconpanied by other, undiagnosed issues.
If transition fixed all of your problems, you're officially an outlier.
My bio says that I "live two standard devations from the mean" :-)
And yes, I've known several self reported trans oersons who were borderline personalities. One of the reasons why I so dislike trans being seen as "cool". It's not. It sucks. It's not normal. That said, it's real and it exists. Those who have it need an avenue to find some semblance of peace. For some, transition really does provide that.
The argument is, where is the actual damage?
Is the physical body wrong, or is the mind?
