Homegrove trans people are such a small part of population that harassing them is just pure cuntery.

Agreed. Although I must admit I find the whole pronouns thing a bit of a headscratcher at times.

Anyway it seems like weā€™re all too hung up other peoples sexuality. Who gives a fuck, as long as itā€™s consensual do what you like.

      Would you like us to start referring to you as ā€˜theyā€™ H?

        Smallman1 Finnish language actually has the same pronoun for men and women. But I do know I am a man. Regardless of what youā€™ve heard.

          I donā€™t believe that it is gender, personality maybe, but not gender. Gender isnā€™t a feeling.

            Much as I do not agree with Peterson, or Walsh on other subjects, I do agree with them on this subject. I have yet to see Walsh, get owned on this. Like Walsh, states, someone comes into the ER with a penis and tells you that they are having a miscarriage, do you check them to see if they are pregnant? So, who are these scientists claiming that transgender is a scientific fact?

                Once you start reading these, you will see that they are trying to find a link, which isnā€™t there. I would say that someones unshakable conviction of belonging to the opposite sex is a mental disorder, not a gender issue. They even referred to it in the study as belonging to the opposite sex. The opposite sex being the key part of the statement, IE, the sex that they are not. What they are trying to do is reverse engineering.

                    It says at the beginning of Star Wars ā€œA long time ago, in a galaxy far, far awayā€ Iā€™m sorry to disappoint you, but I do not believe that Star Wars is based on a true story.

                      Homosexuality isnā€™t a man that thinks he is a women. I have some good homosexual friends, none of them believe that they are women. Homosexuality is a man that is attracted to another man.

                          Homegrove you disagree with Harvard-studies? Ok you genius. Iā€™ll lump you with Hugo from now on. Ignore.

                          Since you invoked me:

                          Have you even looked at the studies you posted? Firstly, although the article is from Harvard, the studies it links to were undertaken by various universities.

                          Also, I canā€™t be bothered to read them all, but the first study I clicked on was this one (which was conducted by UCLA). Iā€™m not going to ā€œdisagreeā€ with its findings, but its findings donā€™t actually seem to say what you likely wish it would:

                          https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2754583/
                          https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19341803/

                          I quote:

                          ā€œ We analyzed MRI data of 24 male-to-female (MTF) transsexuals not yet treated with cross-sex hormones in order to determine whether gray matter volumes in MTF transsexuals more closely resemble people who share their biological sex (30 control men), or people who share their gender identity (30 control women). Results revealed that regional gray matter variation in MTF transsexuals is more similar to the pattern found in men than in women. However, MTF transsexuals show a significantly larger volume of regional gray matter in the right putamen compared to men. These findings provide new evidence that transsexualism is associated with distinct cerebral pattern, which supports the assumption that brain anatomy plays a role in gender identity. ā€

                          ā€œOverall, our study provides evidence that MTF transsexuals possess regional gray matter volumes mostly consistent with control males. However, the putamen was found to be ā€œfeminizedā€ in MTF transsexuals. That is, the gray matter volume of this particular structure in the MTF transsexual group was both larger than in males and within the average range of females. ā€

                          ā€œ of 22 significantly different regions [ā€¦] females had the largest gray matter volumes in all but two significant clusters, which were located in the left and right putamenā€

                          To summarise - for 20 out of 22 different regions of the brain they identified, the grey matter of mtf pre-hormonal treatment transsexuals was more similar to men than women.

                          This is of course only one factor in what will be a large, varied and complex picture, but it seems to indicate a ā€˜mostly male mind which is only in part feminisedā€™; this appears different to the idea of them having ā€˜an entirely female, or even mostly female, mindā€™.

                          As an additional note, the study does not speculate what significance the pitumen may play in differences in perception of gender. But its role is mostly in controlling motor skills -i.e. planning, learning and executing of movement eg moving your limbs.
                          It is also involved in many types of learning processes.
                          Interestingly, it also considered part of ā€œthe hate circuitā€, playing a role in ā€œthe perception of contempt and disgustā€.
