It affects things like neurogenesis and gene expression. If you have a moment, the study I linked in the above post might fill you in. kid you ignored everything I said and utterly failed to respond to her address any of it Your dishonest piece of shit. You're here for 5 minutes and you can't even manage to hold an adult conversation. What are you like 13 or something? Quote Who is "they"? Scientists. We've actually posted a number of research studies about this kind of stuff here and had discussions about it. You are way behind the times kiddo Quote If a transgender person is treated with respect and compassion, if they are relieved of their guilt and shame, that goes a long way to relieving any mental issues they experience because of who they are. If they experience mental issues, it is usually because of a lack of support from family and the community. You come here and act like a jackass and then want to talk about what people are like if they're treated with respect and compassion? If transgender people behave like you do they'll be lucky if they get off with just a punch in the face. You have absolutely no grounds to talk about treating people with respect. Come back when you can talk like an adult and have an honest discussion. And by come back I don't mean start yet another account tomorrow because you've been compromised yet again. If your behavior doesn't change then changing your account won't help Quote

They just don’t match with their bodies. We need to believe them when they tell us who they are, and act accordingly. There is nothing normal about thinking you are something you are not. If you have to ask them and believe them, then there is no science to back up your claim that it is hormones that make the brain think someone is something they are not. What explains the massive increase in transgenders is social contagion. Quote LOL, when people have to tell you they are ignoring you... From Robosmith: "IGNORE AWARDED DUE TO WORTHLESS POSTS. BYE."

When you say "there is nothing normal about thinking you are something that you're not" - the first part of your statement depends on a fallacy - it's ludicrous to suggest a transgender person does not know who they are. 9 hours ago, User said: You mean, you just get to assert whatever you want and no one should disagree?

"Normal" is that which the vast majority is. The primary state of existence. That is "normal". Those who wish to, or find the need to exist outside what is "normal", are ABNORMAL. As compassionate beings, we try to accept those who are ABNORMAL...well most of us do anyway. And herein lies the problem. 1. Some people feel threatened by the ABNORMAL because it rocks their stability. 2. In order to co-exist, ABNORMAL folks need to have some compassion for normal folks and try not...rocking their stability. That means things like NOT introducing their ABNORMALITIES to the children of normal folks. It also means NOT trying to normalize the ABNORMAL. Now you know and as a compassionate person... I'm sure you understand. Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

It is not normal to think you are something you are not. Is "what you are" - who you are - your identity - stored in your body or your brain? I'm going to quote myself here in case you missed my previous post: Quote Both our bodies and our brains are dimorphic (differentiate to male or female). But the developmental processes that differentiate a body and differentiate a brain are two different processes. In the first trimester of pregnancy, the body sexually differentiates under the influence of genes – and either testes or ovaries develop. During the last trimester of pregnancy, the brain sexually differentiates under the influence of genes and hormones – and either a male or female brain develops. Usually, these two processes are coincident – (male body + male brain or female body + female brain) and a cisgender person is born. But sometimes, the brain develops the opposite gender from the body – (male body + female brain or female body + male brain) and a transgender person is born. 1 Quote

Yes, and aliens sometimes abduct babies out of the womb and then put them back in after Big Foot operates on their brains making it a female brain in a male body or vice versa. Either way, that doesn't make the person a male a female or a female a male... anymore than when the aliens abudct someone and put a brain back in that makes them think they are a cat... means they are actually a cat.

Yeah, it's uninformed. From the article: Quote And so what the debate is really about is whether somebody's sort of subjective or even their report of their subjective internal feelings should have essentially legislative control over how everyone else thinks and speaks. See, when they couch the “debate” in these terms, it shows a marked lack of understanding of what it means to be transgender as well as the false presumption that the government will now control what people think and say. They even refer to the "the sexual left." Talk about creating a "us vs. them" scenario! 1 Quote
