Any so called 'scientific' studys that validate the concept of trans-sexualism is suspect on its face. This is for a very basic fact: Gender is determined by chromosomes. XY designates a male, XX designates a female.

Scientifically speaking, there is no such thing as a 'transgender' or any kind of '3rd gender.' The very concept is ridiculous.

Scientifically there's no such thing as gender if we're being technical. There's biological sex and nothing else. I think it's important not to use their made up fantasy language because it's misleading.

Gender is just another word for sex.

No actually in transgender theory 'gender' is something which exists completely independently from biological sex hence its supposed mutability. I'm not trying to get bogged down in minutiae I just think it's important not to use their language.

    Transgenderism is a psychological phenomenon in their own opinion though. If anyone trots out the old 'Well what about this one in a billion hermaphrodite or chromosomal abnormality' to buttress the legitimacy of transgenderism you know they're being dishonest. Doctors don't test chromosomes when they assess people with gender dysphoria it's all about their psychological state.
