Regarding ‘brain sex’, have you ever heard of John Money? He inadvertently created the perfect situation for testing whether ‘brain sex’ was a thing, and although he did it in an absolutely disgusting way, the poor boy he experimented on definitely WAS a boy, despite having what looked like female genitals and being raised and socialised as a girl. That, to me, suggests that there is something to the idea that trans people have subtly different brain chemistry to cis people. Gender is innate.

Listen, gender is not innate. It’s very much a product of society and sex based oppression. A counter study on brain sex was done which consisted of over 1000 subjects that proved there were barely any difference between male and female brains. To imply that a gendered brain exists implies that females want to be feminine and more submissive when this is very very far from the truth and also highly misogynistic

kay but ‘barely’ any difference suggests that there still is a difference, and the fact that there is a difference suggests that it is in fact possible for trans brains to look like the brains of their chosen gender instead of the gender assigned to them at birth

Okay then, since you seem to think brains are gendered what’s it mean to identify as a man? What’s it mean to identify as a woman?

it means that you feel like a man or a woman. obviously you don’t trust them, but i personally trust trans people to know how they’re most comfortable. if someone assigned male at birth feels like a woman, she’s a woman, and vice versa.

i assume you have some concept of your own personal identity, and that being female is part of that? for a trans person, their gender is also part of their personal identity, it just doesn’t match up with the sex they were assigned at birth. people innately know if something’s wrong with their body most of the time, and sex/gender mismatch is just another example of that

Female is my sex. Sex isnt an identity, and frankly the whole concept of identity is pointless. I don’t conform to any gender because as I’ve stated: the concept of gender is absolute misogynist garbage filed by patriarchy.

Okay but what does it feel like to be a man or woman? What feelings do they have that make them want to be that way? You gotta give me something better than: it’s a feewing uwu

@gaysheikah John Money is hardly good proof considering he molested David and his brother then both of them ended up killing them selves in adulthood.

Also it would’ve been painfully obvious to David he was actually male considering he was given no hrt and his body would’ve developed as a male child’s would, he peed through a tube coming out of his abdomen not through his urethra, his genitals would’ve looked nothing like a normal vulva, and he was constantly going to a perverted doctor who asked him to “explain what being a girl was like” and get into sexual positions with his brother to “learn how to submit like a woman” when none of his female peers did any of these things. Money’s experiment on an innocent living autonomous child was flawed at literally every step. The fact that people get “brain sex is real” instead of “we shouldn’t mutilate the genitals of a child then lie to them for their entire childhood and Money was a quack who is responsible for someone’s suicide” is honestly baffling.
