Ah sure, hit me up later if you want to talk. I could be wrong but a LOT of people might be talking about separate things when they talk about this topic.
It has many sides in it and people usually assume everyone is talking about the same one.
but sometimes it is
just sayin
It never is
especially nowadays
@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] Fairly certain that would be a false diagnosis of dysmoprhia
being a transvestite doesnt mean you have gender dysphoria
Gender dysphoria is not a choice, it's a condition
"Gender dysphoria, or gender identity disorder, is the distress a person experiences as a result of the sex and gender they were assigned at birth."
Once you choose to "be" the opposite gender, and begin to experience displeasure because of your actual gender, you have self-inflicted your dysphoria.
Congratulations, you found an article arguing one side of a highly controversial topic.
@EmptyE I’m back for a quick sec, but yes, I also agree with both you and @Jek Porkins, my reasoning is for when it is obvious they are not the biological gender they say. I had a coworker once who had transitioned from female to male before I met him, had no fucking idea until he told me.
I'd say theres a massive seperation between displeasure from a choice, and psychology distress that would need treatment @Thomas the Sowell Train [USA]
its not controversial
do you not see how treating trans people as if they have a mental disorder can cause mental disorders in them?
Whose?
Sure, there's a difference between someone who has transtrendered, and someone who is say, chemically imbalanced.
Nope
very different
@Deleted User treating a mental disorder as a mental disorder produces better results than pretending nothing is wrong
Yeah alright. But if you just want to make "what should the law be" arguments, well- that sounds really fucking dull
I'd probably look confused but then say 'alright, guess so' in that instance
why do the fuck do you keep dragging it to demands?
they do not choose their gender
lol
@Deleted User Correct, their chromosomes determine that.
there are biological, internal differences
we aren't just what you see on the outside
biological differences between a cis and trans?
no usually that's just part of the delusion, and when it is the case it's probably not what you think it is
if you put a female brain in a male body, are they then male?
no they're a mutant
I'm a ToM Cog studies grad
Same
what I'm saying is there are physiological differences that cause them to identify as a different sex
not true
yes it is fucking true
