I'll just leave this here:
`The study itself is not actually about “gender dysphoria” as it has previously been defined in the scientific literature. Rather, it is about the newer phenomenon of “rapid-onset gender dysphoria” (ROGD). Prior to about ten years ago, cases of gender dysphoria typically involved a long history of a child rejecting identification with his or her biological sex, going back before puberty.`

Important distinction

2019-04-23 23:41:26 UTC  

What's the real difference?

2019-04-23 23:42:22 UTC  

Read maybe?
`cases of gender dysphoria typically involved a long history of a child rejecting identification with his or her biological sex, going back before puberty.`

2019-04-23 23:42:39 UTC  

presumably that non trans-trenders aren't doing it to just fit in with their friends

2019-04-23 23:43:05 UTC  

(fucking zoomers making me learn the phrase "trans trenders" what is wrong with them smdh)

2019-04-23 23:44:26 UTC  

What friends? <:thisisfine:378719407981199363>

2019-04-23 23:44:58 UTC  

aww

2019-04-23 23:45:04 UTC  

its okay you've got a home here

2019-04-23 23:45:17 UTC  

With the fellow degenerates?

2019-04-23 23:45:24 UTC  

exactly

2019-04-23 23:46:00 UTC  

Yet even in those cases, untreated most children who experience dysphoria grow out of it and become normal homosexual adults.

2019-04-23 23:46:49 UTC  

Those that are attracted to the "same" sex only or are bi?

2019-04-23 23:46:55 UTC  

>normal
>homosexual adults
<:Deus_Think:505447701589000192>

2019-04-23 23:52:59 UTC  

Yeah homosexuality is fairly normal and consistent in human behavior. **There** we do have solid data. While not entirely innate the frequency is at a level over a long enough timeline to warrant that.

2019-04-23 23:53:15 UTC  

mm

2019-04-23 23:53:58 UTC  

i read an article by the bbc once a while ago actually about homos, and they said there is one other species which some of the males are exclusively attracted to other males even when ample female mates are available, and that is the domestic sheep

2019-04-23 23:54:35 UTC  

and the prevalence in said domestic sheep is about 10% (of the males)

2019-04-23 23:57:44 UTC  

Oh yeah we are pretty strange in that aspect. I mean most primates engage in homosexual behavior but we are the only species where individuals do so exclusively. Like when chomps bugger each other it's a dominance display not a sexual preference. Trivers did some really interesting work on this.

2019-04-23 23:58:19 UTC  

yeah or apparently some animals do it for practice

2019-04-23 23:59:00 UTC  

a dominance display can be a sexual preference too

2019-04-23 23:59:10 UTC  

thats not an argument just a comment sorry

2019-04-24 00:00:56 UTC  

also "doing it for practice"

2019-04-24 00:01:06 UTC  

we all know you're gay jannet

2019-04-24 00:02:59 UTC  

It's a specifically different behavior. Like a chimp that mounts another male as a dominance display will otherwise behave in a heterosexual manner. Our species is weird in that individuals will continue to engage in that behavior exclusive to reproductive sexual expression. Other primates do not do this. Even non-primates like those "lesbian" birds? They cheat with male birds.

2019-04-24 00:03:13 UTC  

That's how they reproduce.

2019-04-24 00:04:12 UTC  

This is, on the whole, not the strangest thing about humans. Like running is really really unusual....

2019-04-24 00:06:17 UTC  

other animals run tho

2019-04-24 00:07:10 UTC  

No, they really don't. Running is different than galloping.

2019-04-24 00:07:35 UTC  

what about the bipedal dinosaurs

2019-04-24 00:08:25 UTC  

Well they're the same general principle just with bipedal versus quadripedal locomotion.

2019-04-24 00:09:05 UTC  

Like you basically are leaning forward then, while falling, pushing yourself against the ground for propulsion. Dinosaurs had essentially avian physiology it's a different thing. There's a great CARTA lecture on this let me see if I can find it....

2019-04-24 00:09:54 UTC  

doesn't seem all that different

2019-04-24 00:10:04 UTC  

plus all animals would be falling mid stride

2019-04-24 00:10:17 UTC  

There is also a lean for quadripedal locomotion for galloping. It's natural to account for the applied force. They're just not as pronounced as bipedal human running.

2019-04-24 00:10:25 UTC  
2019-04-24 00:10:31 UTC  

Humans dominate long distance running

2019-04-24 00:10:38 UTC  

Short distance not at all

2019-04-24 00:10:41 UTC  

And yes, galloping and running both involves airborne period.

2019-04-24 00:10:50 UTC  

Humans absolutely lose sprinting.

2019-04-24 00:11:00 UTC  

Yeah we actually outpace quadrupeds for distance.
