it is defined by the users

btw, what being trans means is that you identify with a gender other than your assigned one

Trans means
Brain ≠ Body

I often see people fail to make the distinction between transgender and gender dysphoria, and they claim being transgender is a recognized mental disorder. Being Transgender is gender nonconformity.

Or you just get those who fail to see gender as a social construct and claim any nonconformity is messed up.
Altho, if Gender isn't a social construct, then what is it? Biologically programmed behavior?

Both, actually.

I wonder how that could be tested

Good question

As far as I'm aware, analysis of brain structures has shown that transgender people have some brain structures of the opposite sex

I thought all the evidence in sociology indicated gender is quite fluid.
Like, masculinity is hardly natural to men at all, it is socially constructed.

Regarding the brain structures, I am not sure, it could still have to do with the way we interact with our environment and take in information.

The differences were found in the basal brain structures, the one formed during development in the womb.
And besides, it's been proven repeatedly that men and women have structural differences within the brain that leads them to be good at different things.

Men tend to have better spatial awareness, while women tend to have better comprehension skills

Stuff like that

@AstralSentient upper body strength differences between men and women is NOT a social construct

"Men tend to have better spatial awareness, while women tend to have better comprehension skills"

you find gender affirmation in the weirdest places

Yet all the greatest thinkers in history are men

Scientists and inventors

So much for that comprehension

woah its almost as if women have been unfairly and unjustly oppressed throughout history

"You find gender affirmation in the weirdest places"
The hell is that supposed to mean?
If you're insinuating that there are no differences between the male and female brain, you've got a lot to learn. And if transgender women have female brain structures, but a male body, it stands to reason that gender is based within the brain itself.

i'm saying that i'm a trans girl with good comprehension and bad spatial awareness lol

Are you a man acting as a female?

i am female

who has been pretending to be male

Ok well you're male

But you're free to behave as you like

As long as it doesn't infinge on other people's rights

no i told you im female

or wait

shit i dont remember which one am i

help i forgot my gender

i just remembered i have a dick

wait no i don't

lol

😂

But in terms of gender, we have no indication of it being biological.

Like femininity and masculinity

*Yet all the greatest thinkers in history are men*
Women didn't have the same opportunities in society throughout history. That changed surprisingly quick recently.
So I think we know why that is

@Madeline <3 You have bad spatial awareness and good comprehension because your brain structures are more female than male
