no, it's "i linked you a bunch of peer-reviewed, academic, scientific studies that correlate to what i'm talking about, but you aren't reading them because you think what they are trying to point toward isn't possible"
Are trans persons our attempt at the "sneaky fuc'ker theory" assuming no surgery? There's biological pressure and increasing cultural pressure from our continual lowering of 'men' values.
i read the abstract and there was obviously no methodology in it that would back up what they said. i don't have library access so i can't read the full things until my BRO wakes up
it seems that you're not actually reading what any of them have to say, though. in fact, you straight-up refused to read an article because you thought that the thesis wouldn't be provable.
Ok but is there any studies that people can actually identify as multiple genders throughout the day and week without a mental illness? I believe transgender people don't have a mental illness personally. I think it's purely just being born the wrong gender. But I fail to see how anyone could be both whenever they want.. like.. that seems more like flat out confusion to me
not sure -quite- what you mean, but the general idea is that gender roles are almost always a construct, so people try to do things that are perceived as "for the other gender only" to break the idea that certain genders -need- to do certain things
ok i'm losing energy quickly because it is almost 5:am, but here's some info about transgenderism existing far before the 2010's.
but obviously, if there were soldiers who were transgender, they would be likely to not speak/consider/contemplate it, because it was not socially acceptable in any way, shape or form.
This is where I'm always confused: If gender-roles and brain chemistry aren't set in stone, and people are doing their best to break norms, why are others hell-bent on fitting in with the opposite stereotypes and norms if it's not their own assigned sex?
Attempting to play devil's advocate because it's 4:40 AM and for some reason my mind has been racing too much to sleep. I have to be up in 3 hours lol
from anything i've read and looked at regarding the issue, our sense of gender identity comes from our brain, and it seems like a clear correlation that part of the reason why that is, is due to the fact that the brain chemistry is different in genders, so the dissonance would come from our brains innately telling us that something is wrong. i'd be happy to look up even more info/articles about the subject if you would like..
i mean, if somebody is born with male genitals, but their brain chemistry has more in common with the brain chemistry of somebody who is female - that can be where it would come from, if that's what you mean? the brain perceives itself to be a certain way that is in conflict with its sex.
it's pointing to that idea because it's what you want to believe. there's no reason to interpret it that way from what you said. there's no reason for you to say that "our brains are wired in a certain way that point to how we perceive our gender." there's no support for that idea
This is not playing into the discussion of being transgendered per se, but how can a brain be inherently "in disagreement" with the body or any body part?
But relating that back to gender, wouldn't the issue stem straight from the brain's own perception of itself? That's where the dysphoria and sense of disorder would come from, in my opinion.
the thesis is pointing to the idea that there is a biological origin to gender identity, because our brains are wired in a specific way that point to our gender, and how we perceive our own gender. so, if somebody is born with a different -sex- than their brain chemistry has shaped itself to be, that's where many argue the dissonance comes from with transgender people. do you get what i mean? it's 4:30 am so i might not be wording it properly
there's also a whole bunch of other articles on the topic as well
what does that thesis have to do with gender identity? it looks like you're just saying that there are s.e.x.u.a.l. differences in neurology. i don't get how you can interpret it that way
from what i've researched, there's not an overwhelming consensus on where the dissonance comes from - but it has been shown that the makeup of our brain determines how we perceive ourselves, so the argument often goes that a transgender persons brain and body are in disagreement
