If the majority of trans people know that the surgical penis/vagina is nothing like a biological one,why are 97% happy with getting surgery then?

Doesn't track. The entire idea of gendered souls is retarded in the first place. Sex is purely a physical concept. It's a consequence of your biology. An immortal and immaterial soul wouldn't be predisposed to any physical expressions as the entire concept is rooted in the realities of biological reproduction.

It makes zero sense to consider that spirits have any innate gender. That's before we concede the point that it's utter folly to even attempt to use metaphysical explanations for physical concepts. The very idea that one can link the supernatural with science is ludicrous in it's own right because the supernatural by definition is that which cannot be explained by science.

That's why I suspect it's still tied to biology. Your brain does affect you. Though someone might have a strong preference or just be very used to one gender, but that's not really the same thing.

The entire idea of gender preference or being used to one or the other is also silly. You are yourself you can't know what it's like to be someone else. You can hate yourself and wish to be someone else but you'd still hate yourself if you were them because you are yourself.

Not for sure, but you can be pretty sure. Also, most trutrans do like the changes that come with transition...it's just that it also shatters any false hope of a magical pill to change their sex, and they realize they'll still be a mess of amalgamated male and female characteristics. If we had told them the truth from the beginning and been realistic about what can be done for them, maybe this wouldn't come as such a crude revelation. But still, some people don't see the point in a life that's assured to be miserable.
