I'll let you into a secret.

There are no real trans people.

The whole thing is made up.

Gender disphoria is real. Beyond that?

It's fairly obvious to anyone who wants to start critically examining what people say that it's all a mental health issue.

Gender disphoria isn't real either, it's just body dysmorphia and self-loathing.

[–]Alienhunter糞大名 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Body dismorphia is clearly a related issue. The self loathing is likely caused by that.

Naturally the problem comes down to if you don't feel "at home" in your own body, that's not going to change if you alter your body. You'll still not feel comfortable with yourself. Your body has changed but it's still yours. You're just as likely to continue to suffer from disphoria with your new body. You've not dealt with the underlying cause which isn't physical.

I have at the very least some sympathy towards people that understand that and just want to dress weird or whatever. I don't understand the reasoning why but at the very least "acting like a woman" for whatever the fuck that means doesn't have permanent effects on your body like surgery does.

Honestly,i don't see how it has gone beyond it being a dysphoria.No matter how hard people try,there's no way someone can be born into the wrong body.I still hold that in order for that premise to work,you'd have to believe in a soul and that soul got mismatched into the wrong sex's body.Even if you believe that the main cause for the dysphoria is their brains producing a certain chemical that made them believe it,it wouldn't be proof that they're truly opposite sex.

Why would souls be gendered to begin with? When the whole point of sex is reproduction which happens in the physical world, why would a soul have any information regarding how it happens?

Honestly i don't know.All i know is that for the concept of being trapped in the wrong body that it would have to be true.Either trans people are who they say they are,or it's an hallucination caused by their brains producing the wrong chemicals that making them believe it.

Sure, it's real. So is Anorexia. The treatment for Anorexia isn't lipo and nutrient pills; it's therapy to get you to realize that your cognition is fucked up and needs to be fixed.

But somehow trans is different: the body must adapt to the mind, not the other way around. To believe this is true, requires believing in an immutable, gendered "spirit" that is somehow at odds with the physical body. Which is purely religious thinking.

What do you call the HSTS then? (Homosexual Transsexuals) surely they’re the real deal since their brain is so opposite-sexed that they better function living as the opposite gender than their physical one.

[–]MarkJefferson 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

They're just very GNC in a society of fixed gender expectations. If the gender expectations went away, they would be fine.

Don’t they suffer from legit bodily dysphoria though?

[–]jet199 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Only because of their internalised homophobia and personality disorders.

There's no innate mental "body map" as some TRAs like to say. Rather a child has to learn where parts of their body are during the course of their life. That's why they are so clumsy.

They also talk about phantom limb syndrome and larp that applying to their sexual body. The trouble is people born without limbs never get phantom limb syndrome. It only happens to adults who have lost limbs.

These people will literally fake and lie about anything to get their own way. You can't believe anything they say.

Yes, but that doesn't mean they're born in the wrong body or that they're "male-bodied women". There is also research suggesting that male and female brains do not exist. https://theconversation.com/you-dont-have-a-male-or-female-brain-the-more-brains-scientists-study-the-weaker-the-evidence-for-sex-differences-158005

Brain sexual dimorphism doesn't really exist while physical sexual dimorphism clearly does. Pretty much the opposite of what gender ideology contends.

Opposite sexed brain?

What's that then?
