Feel free to just ask me for the correct opinion on anything before you post again.
The etiology of transgender identity may actually have a neurological factor (99% sure there are studies correlating that idea), that isn't precluded merely because psychology tends to involve stress and the effects on daily functionality as important for diagnosisYou're not getting me. Joshua Kennon claimed this boy had the brain of a female. Gender dysphoria is not your physical brain being the opposite sex, it is about psychological stress.
Stop, you're just encouraging his egoThat's quite magnanimous of you to offer.

I had a particular question. Do trans people really believe that by transitioning, that they become the opposite sex? I mean, sometimes I hear the phrase thrown around, that trans women are women. I don’t have to be a biologist to know that’s insane—trans women don’t have eggs. Trans women don’t magically start menstruating. Or who knows, maybe a progressive would fire back, does a woman need to menstruate to be a woman? And then I suppose I would have to argue based on what is normative, namely that women usually menstruate, but trans women never have eggs.
So what I’m getting at is, just how dedicated are progressives to this gender theory? Is it irrelevant to state that what is normal of male and female behavior is obvious, if perhaps they believe that what is normal now may not always be normal—meaning that humans may evolve into something different? Or, maybe progressive minded people know that their theory is senseless, except maybe not all, and they would rather use their ideas to divide and conquer. But then again that just sounds conspiratorial.
For example, I watched a video of a trans woman explaining that he thought the concept of male and femaleness really was a concept that the colonizers came up with. I can’t tell you how absurd that is. I guess there’s no point in defining humans as male and female. But that’s like saying that human procreation is irrelevant, and that’s why we don’t need terms like male and female. This really gets into dangerous territory because it’s an attempt to play God—the idea that we don’t have to have limits based on our gender.
It’s also an attack on God’s very good design, that in the beginning he made them male and female. Even Jesus affirmed this (see Mt 19:4).
You're trying to convince an egomaniacal narcissist he's wrong, it's not even a brick wall, it's layers of brick wallsIt's hardly relevant at this point. The avalanche is already underway; what's one more snowball?
Wow...we don't cure mental illness, we treat it, you're already starting on a massive misunderstandingReal trans people are against most of what is happening now.
They do agree that gender dysphoriza is a mental illness and would like a cure -that isn't transitioning! That kids should not be given drugs, that what is going on now is madness.
Actual truth not the crazy woke nightmare going on now where kids are being chemically castrated. If you read the comments that drug often given -causes bone destiny loss.
It's not rainbows and good times but years of heartbreak and possible bone breakages.
They claim there are at least 20,000 plus transitioning back with permanent harm done to them.
Satan will attack and counterfeit everything of God's.
"I would have to argue based on what is normative, namely that women usually menstruate, but trans women never have eggs."
No, females have XX chromosomes and males have XY it's that simple. This is why woman have ovaries and eggs, fallopian tubes and a womb. Males have testicles and produce sperm because of that Y chromosome. Chopping off your penis or breasts does not change your DNA. You can change the outside wrapper, although often a great mental and monetary cost but you can't change who God made you as.
A skeleton dug up a 500 years later can be identified as male or female. People with deformities or infertility or other medical issues are just that, people with medical issues.
One video talked about this suicidal young man who wanted a vagina to be surgically made but guess what? His parents allowed him to take puberty blockers as a child and now he has a micro penis so it isn't big enough to create a vagina from. They talked about using his colon and someone else that person knows who had that done says "their vagina smells like colon and they have zero sexual drive" Because yes those are some of the side effects of puberty blockers that the far left toss around like candy.
Also as if an inverted penis is ever a vagina. Vaginoplasty carries enormous risks. It has high rates of infections and revisions. All of that for something that isn't a vagina. I don't think they have any idea of the actual functionally of a real vagina that has lubrication, nerve endings and muscles; it's not just a canal.
Then in girls, many are getting double mastectomies at ages 12-16, life long permanent choices made as minors yet they can't make any other adult decisions. How many life long choices did we all make at 12-16? I know I wouldn't want even 18 year old me making life long permanent choices let alone at 12.
You're not getting me. Joshua Kennon claimed this boy had the brain of a female. Gender dysphoria is not your physical brain being the opposite sex, it is about psychological stress.
“Sometimes, but not always, this condition is caused because a male fetus is immune to testosterone. When this happens, the testosterone released by the mother’s body during development doesn’t trigger the signal to map the brain as male, and a female mind is created, despite the fact the genetic instructions from the chromosomes is busy making the physical body male.”
@Kylie Maybe I am wrong.
That's quite magnanimous of you to offer.
Maybe?
In any case, it should not require an understanding of how and why some people end up being trans in order for us to treat them with respect.
You don't really think this is about respect....do you?
Trans activists aren't demanding respect. They want to socially engineer schoolchildren, eliminate women's spaces, and give children the right to consent, and control speech.
That's a bit more than "please respect me"
Oh, I think we can point to various groups that also claim CRT is going to ruin the education system (when it isn't taught except in high level college courses), as if treating racial minorities and LGBTQ with respect is un-American (?)And did trans people tell you this?
Because the trans people I know want to stop being killed. They want people to use the correct pronouns.
I have no idea where you are getting this alarmist nonsense from.
