Nobody is arguing that transgender is a gender
Okay. That makes sense then.
Being transgender means that your identified gender is not the same as your assigned gender
That makes no sense
You cant just identify as something you are not
That would mean you have a disorder
Do you have real evidence for this or are these just your feelings?
Plenty of studies
Can I identify as a native American if I'm not?
Can I identify as a war veteran if I'm not?
The problem here is entirely a semantic one
The problem is people encouraging destructive behavior
I, like people who support the idea of being transgender, define gender in a more commonly accepted definition of being more social and mental
Trying to identify as a different gender is destructive
You choose to use the less commonly used version based on biology
The definition was changed
Citizen do you know what gender dysphoria is?
You are using a made up urban type dictionary definition
Someone who thinks they are another gender
"The modern academic sense of the word, in the context of social roles of men and women, dates at least back to 1945"
You seem to think definitions cannot change
Sure it does.
I dont believe your sick interpretation
Is there a central authority that declares whether a definition is accurate?
Tell me citizen, do you know what gender dysphoria is?
You are damaging people.
By encouraging this behavior
I posted many things about gender dysphoria
I just told you what it is
This is debatable
"Gender nonconformity is ***not*** a mental disorder"
It is a medical condition
It is not a choice
And it is entirely treatable
Emphasis mine
The caveat? The only working treatment is transitioning
How is trying to identify as a different gender "destructive"?
