Maybe if the cause for transgender (I don't know the proper English modifier here) was discovered, the debate would be put to rest

If it were looked into it I'm sure they would find out why instead of shoving it to the side and deciding not to do anything about it.

I'm sure it is related to genes however.

Last I read, the primary hypothesis was that it was caused by an excess of the opposite sex hormone during brain development

There is actually an article about the boy brain and the girl brain which some scientists believe is the reason why some people feel that they are the wrong gender or are pulled towards one thing then another.

Yeah, I saw some research where they found brain structures that matched the opposite gender in transgender individuals

It could easily be a solid reason for it. At least at the moment until it is looked into more.

Part of the issue is that most evidence suggest that whether you conform the body to the brain or the brain to the body, the end results are generally the same: severe depression and mental health issues surrounding such depression, such as self harm and suicidal thoughts.

Or it's a fake study

Fake card, kewl

One thing is for sure, if the study is true, it just confirms transgenders have a mental health problem

There is no debate in my opinion. You are either a boy or a girl. You have certain parts that classify you as a boy or girl. Anyone that decides they are not the gender they have the parts for, have a mental problem called gender dysphoria. Anyone around them or in the media and news and entertainment or education system who says otherwise are only serving to hurt the people with the mental problem.

@Citizen Z gender roles may be social constructs, but gender is based on science for sure

gender is not scientific

its mental and societal

thats the point of gender

its different from sex

The question is, to what degree?

To the degree of the female brain and the male brain

Nonsense ,it's defined by biology

**sex** is defined by biology, **gender** is not

Nonsense. Since when are they different

That's... that's what gender is

Gender is a biology term too, it can't just be redefined as weird ppl see fit

That's the point of it

It's not biological

Gender and sexuality are synonymous

sexuality ≠ gender ≠ sex

No that's wrong

Care to elaborate?

<:popcorn:518788890216235010> I would like to see your argument @Shabam

Also hello Madeline nice to have you on board

hiya

Dictionary

An easy way to put it is
Gender = Brain
Sex = Genitals

Sexuality = What you're attracted to

gender is social and mental, with a difference between gender identity and gender expression (and presentation)

sex is biological and based on a lot of factors, including genitalia, hormones, etc (also not a binary)

sexuality is what genders (or lack thereof) you are attracted to, and is mental

I like my simplification better tho
