Question for the transgender people on this forum

[katrik]

Trannys are a pain in the ass. I usually just bring those to a mechanic. No way Jose

[mickmoranis]

This is a thread about identifying with other cultures or races now, get over it.

You have been here since 2011 and you are surprised how a post about transgenders got derailed?

I was actually illiterate in 2011. Thanks for bringing that up. Thanks a lot.

I think its a mental disorder. So what? So is depression. So is anxiety. Neither one of those would stop me from being friends with, or at least kind to, someone.

If all I need to do in order to give a fellow human being a little dignity is recognize them as the gender they identify as, what kind of asshole am I if I can't find it in my heart to do something so simple? It's like saying "please" or "thank you".

Transgender people have a biological basis for how they feel: they are quite literally "born with it". That dumb ass Dolezal woman just had some mental issues.

How do they have a biological basis for how they feel? Their chromosomes aren't some how different. That's what forms the basis for sex and they don't change.

This whole thing gets really sick when you start hearing about kids that are being given hormone blockers when they're a small child.

A 2008 study compared 112 male-to-female transsexuals (both androphilic and gynephilic), mostly already undergoing hormone treatment, with 258 cisgender male controls. Male-to-female transsexuals were more likely than cisgender males to have a longer version of a receptor gene (longer repetitions of the gene) for the sex hormone androgen or testosterone, which reduced its effectiveness at binding testosterone.[3] The androgen receptor (NR3C4) is activated by the binding of testosterone or dihydrotestosterone, where it plays a critical role in the forming of primary and secondary male sex characteristics. The research suggests reduced androgen and androgen signaling contributes to the female gender identity of male-to-female transsexuals. The authors say that a decrease in testosterone levels in the brain during development might prevent complete masculinization of the brain in male-to-female transsexuals and thereby cause a more feminized brain and a female gender identity.

Then again, apparently evidence of a biological basis actually causes bigots to be more bigoted, not less, so maybe I shouldn't have bothered with the above: https://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/20...sis-for-gender

yeah the pitch falls apart with young'ns. I haven't figured out an apologia for it yet so I'm leaning toward "it's immoral", too. The practice hurts our brand & should be discouraged. On the other hand, ideal results do mean starting younger.

perhaps a secondary arbitrary age of consent for this. between 14 and 16? I can say I have observed firsthand that I was ready by this time. And I can't see 8 year olds on hormones ever passing the gut check.

As for adjusting your cartoon arbitrary assertion that a particular social role must correlate with something chemically predetermined, a large stick will do better than emotional tugging. Regardless of any principled debate what you just said will be rendered equivalent to use of "the n word" in short order. That'll handle everything but your clueless interior monologue.

Those are separate issues. An adult deciding for himself is one thing, parents turning their child into a science project is quite another. Not really the same discussion

PS: read this thread and tell me Katrik has a mental illness and mickmoranis doesn't. You cant
