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
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
Doesn't take as long to type
lol
O gohun
btw, according to dictionary.com the definition is:
```
either the male or female division of a species, especially as differentiated by social and cultural roles and behavior: the feminine gender. Compare sex(def 1).
a similar category of human beings that is outside the male/female binary classification and is based on the individual's personal awareness or identity.
