Hold up now. "Develop gender identity"? I thought that your gender identity was supposed to be fixed you know. Like you were always have always and will always be a woman despite the doctors your parents and you having apparently been horrible transphobes their whole lives for just assuming that penis=male. How can one develop something that is immutable and unchangeable.

Don't try and make sense of it, it will only give you a headache. They've moved the goal post so many times now it isn't even on the playing field.

I mean that goes without saying. The original ideas have always been crazy.

The only argument I've seen that makes any sort of sense is basically "trans people have some kind of mental health issues that makes them think they are the opposite gender, since it can't be cured letting them act like they actually are the opposite gender is the least harmful solution"

Which has its own slew of problems but at least is consistent. Course these days everyone wants to distance themselves from terms like "disease" or "handicap" or whatever. Though I've never actually met someone with a handicap IRL who isn't totally just accepting of the fact that it's a limitation on them. Only on the internet see people dancing around the issue that being in a wheelchair is not congruent with ones dreams of being a famous ballet dancer.
