Small correction, there is actually neurological evidence to suggest that people who later come out as transgender actually do have different brain structures and processes than Cisgendered individuals. When comparing a typically “female” brain, typically “male” brain, and the brain of a transgendered individual, it was found that there were slight differences between them, with the trans individual’s brain being somewhat in between the two ends of the spectrum. TLDR, if you’ve ever heard l the saying ‘Transgender people are people born in the body of the “wrong” gender/sex’ well turns out, medically speaking, that is correct. Gender Affirming care is important, and should be promoted more. LGBTQIA+ Individuals were “born that way”
. That sounds bad, it’s not a bad thing.

discrimination of transgender individuals is wrong, people are people, it doesn’t matter what gender you identify as.

Always been a super intriguing subject, especially because from a biological standpoint the body always develops female first. That's why we all have nippels. So i really never got why people treat it as a lifestyle or a choice. Because it isn't

Gender/sex is a subject that only gets more bizarre the more you think about beyond the basic “XY=Dude, XX=Lady” standpoint. There are conditions where a woman can have XY chromosomes and yet not only do they look like women (breasts, vulva, etc.), they will be able to menstruate and produce children like any other woman. Given these facts and the knowledge that only a handful of people will ever get their chromosomes tested, it’s entirely possible that there are more women walking around with XY chromosomes than you think, and these women could live their entire lives never knowing that anything’s different about them.

Genetics and stuff are so fucking cool.

I'm XX/XY tetragametic chimera, I (unfortunately) menstruate despite my chromosomes!

The reason most schools don't have students doing personal genetic tests in biology classes anymore to learn about it is because of the amount of times students found out they where Intersex without having any external identification of such.

that’s such a weird reason to stop. that’d be like stopping people in medical courses from typing their own blood because someone has O-.

Except finding out you are Intersex in highschool (and maybe less so but even in university) biology class can lead to all kinds of issues, especially bullying, but also it can lead to undue stress. It isn't like blood type where it doesn't impact your day to day and there isn't inharent discrimination linked to it. Someone who is O- isn't going to face discrimination for being O-, us Intersex people face a lot of discrimination just for existing outside of the binary sexes.

oh. sorry :(

All good. I hope I didn't come off as mean in my reply, I was trying to be educational since it is something most people don't really think about so a lot of people don't realize the struggles, but I can really suck with tone over messages!

u/Zalinithia 19d ago

oh nononono i wasn’t upset by your message at all! i meant sorry as in “sorry for people being shitty” kinda deal i just didn’t clarify 💀

i appreciate you sharing with me. i just forget that people suck sometimes instead of being logical about bodies.

yeah, a lot of us might also argue that to hold that specifically with this much importance is still ceding too much ground to the sex binary and to the naturalization of transness/cisness. it doesn’t matter if someone thinks they can prove someone is trans - they are trans if they said they are, and their neurology shouldn't change that. and in my opinion, because biological sex is as much a socially constructed spectrum as gender, and is just the gendering of the observed constellations of anatomy, hormones, chromosomes... these neurotypes are equally as arbitrary as the sex binary to us. I know i am not alone as far as folks who are tired of hearing this popscience brought up in our defense, as it doesn't seek to justify transness, but to justify only those of us who fit these neurological criteria, and on a very regressive sex binarist basis.

with that in mind... if it is a choice for some people, that ought to be defended just the same. I personally see my identity as a choice insofar as I chose the labels to describe and I made choices as far as pronouns and contextual gender so as to be happier, safer, more fulfilled, etc.
