OKay, a person who decides to become transgender while on a flight to Europe, is now known as TRANSATLANTIC. A person who becomes gender confused while watching STARTREK has been TRANSPORTED. And a person who was obviously kidding about being transgender is now known as TRANSPARENT. Of course this also being applied to a father who wants to be a mother or visa versa (TransPARENT).

What exactly is the transgender mentality?

A person doesn't decide to be trans. They are born trans/non binary, just as people are born gay or bisexual. Trans people decide to physically transition to align their physical body with their psychological gender identity.

Do you have any other nonsense strawman that you need me to address?

Well, that's 20 seconds I'll never get back.

Unfortunately they can't transition to their preferred sex. We should get rid of that term.
All they can do is try to treat the condition . That can include meds from psychiatrists, hormones and associated surgery.
This are copping statagies not a sex change.
People need to start looking at this objectively.
 
A person who can remember all of the 100 (or so) transgender pronouns is a Transtranslator.

A trans-person who stopped to have their picture taken was transposed.

Trans people are living in your head rent free.

No, people are not born trans but they make be born with genes that increase their chance of developing a serious personality disorder.

There are many cases of people "transitioning", regretting it and returning to living in their biological sex.

No they are not. Gender identity is a social construct. You are promoting gender essentialism.

Gender roles are a construct, Gender and gender identity is not not is not a social construct. If it was then trans people would not exist and gender dysphoria would not exist.

Transgender people do not have a personality disorder. Trans people do not detrauining. They would not be transgdered if they destransitioned. They would be CIS.
 
Meh. It would have been better if the OP had played his word-games on himself and remained TRANSMUTE. The assertions of only nature or only nurture are all a bit over the top too, because the science supports both theories working in dynamic equilibrium. One should not draw simple conclusions from very complex, multivariate systems at work in biological organisms. So there, I have TRANSFIXED this dispute for y'all.

Cheers and be well.

Very confusing triple negative.

"If it was then trans people would not exist and gender dysphoria would not exist."

Huh? Why wouldn't they exist?

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you don't know any transgender people. Their lives are generally not comedic.

Not everyone is "born" trans/non-binary. There isn't a brain-structural difference between trans and non-trans people, and there isn't a trans-gene.

Psychology is partially genetic and partially environmental.

Gender is an "identity." It's a physical thing. People can and do decide to identify as something based on their feelings, and those feelings can be learned or a result of environmental factors. A person is not "born" gender outlaw or genderqueer.

The number of genders is expanding all the time. People are "born" genders that didn't even exist 5 years ago? Not likely.

Some of this is like people declaring themselves to identify as Goth or Emo, mods or rockers, greasers or soc'es, punks or preppies, etc. People's feelings change, and the suggestion that there is a gender called "polygender" which someone is "born" with is speculative at best.

Yes there is a structural difference in the brains of trans people. Their brains also function much more like their identified gender then their biological gender. It is not their choice to be trans and it cannot be changed. The brain differences can be imaged via an MRI.

There is not a trans gene but it is epigenetic.

That completely goes against the "gender is a social construct" position of the trans-lobby. The whole idea that women behave as they do because they are born to behave that way is diametrically opposed to what I hear from the trans-lobby and from feminists.

For example, they say that women don't like dolls, shoes and go into certain professions because they are born that way, and that's the way women's brains work. They say that it's environmental and socially constructed. https://theconversation.com/you-don...eaker-the-evidence-for-sex-differences-158005

Even what it means to be a woman is said to be socially constructed. Like, being strong, silent type is only a male feature because of social construction. Women can be that, and it's just as womanly. Same thing with attraction to pink, jewelry, shoes, and caregiving professions, right? Women are into that via social construction, right? Or, is it that they are "born with a female brain" and so people with female brains identify as female, even if they are in a male body?

There is no transgender lobby. That is your fist mistake.

Gender itself is biological. Trans peopler would not exist if it were otherwise. Traditional gender roles are a social construct.

Women are born with a female brain but we can do anything that we want to. We are not limited to being housewives and mothers or liking pink by our genetics or chromosomes. We just do it different than guys, just as you do it different than we do.

I do like pink and purple and like being a mom, but I am not saying that all females are like me or should be constrained by what I like. Trust me saying that you dont want 1,000,000 females just like me.

That's not true. The transgender lobby, the faction, the political perspective - that's not a mistake. Let's not pretend they don't have politics.

According to the WHO, gender is a social construct: Gender refers to the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that are socially constructed. This includes norms, behaviours and roles associated with being a woman, man, girl or boy, as well as relationships with each other. As a social construct, gender varies from society to society and can change over time. https://www.who.int/health-topics/gender#tab=tab_1

Gender, as the WHO says, includes norms behaviors and ROLES associated with being a woman, man, girl, or boy, etc.

Sex refers to the different biological and physiological characteristics of males and females, such as reproductive organs, chromosomes, hormones, etc.
Gender refers to "the socially constructed characteristics of women and men – such as norms, roles and relationships of and between groups of women and men. It varies from society to society and can be changed. https://www.coe.int/en/web/gender-m...ers to “the different,groups of women and men.

If gender is biological, then why would the transfolks say that having a penis has nothing to do with gender? I mean, the only way their argument makes sense is to say gender is in the mind, and people "identify" as a given gender, which may be man, woman, both, neither, other, genderqueer, genderfluid, gender outlaw, agender, bigender, ambigender, etc ect., and the biological part is sex.

I agree with you that women evolved differently than men, and that evolutionary psychology illustrates differences between males and females in the human species. However, typically, the left rejects evolutionary psychology, particulalry feminists.

I never said females are all alike - quite the opposite.
 
Is anyone still confused why there aren't really conservative stand-up comedy routines these days?

There is no transgender lobby or political faction because trans people do not all have the same political beliefs. The only political idea is for equal rights but that is the same for the larger LGBT community. They, just like women and racial minorities want the same rights that white heterosexual males have enjoyed for the past 200+ years.

A penis or vagina is part of the biological body that is incongruent with their female or male gender identity. This is what males then transgender. Trans females want functional female reproductive organ just as trans males want fully functional male reproductive organs. That is what the surgery does, as much as medical technology will allow. They are disgusted by their birth gender./body and that disgust manifests itself in gender dysphoria which if untreated can lead to them committing suicide. Trans people very often suffer from social anxiety, anxiety disorders and depression, to the point that the existence of those mental illness are often part of the diagnosis. Alcoholism, substance abuse and PTSD are very common in adult trans people because of what they have suffered, both at home, in the denial of care and abuse/assault by larger society.

Is it diofficult youi to accept or understand that the gender of the person can be different from the biology that you initially see. Do you feel threatened by that possibility?

I do know a transgender person, and she, he, it -- is "its" own worst enemy. There is ALWAYS someone with far worse problems that has learned to enjoy life as it is dealt to them without thinking the pasture is greener some other way. "Oh poor me" is no way to live. If you're healthy and not living under an overpass in a cardboard box, with people shooting at you, you should count yourself fortunate and thank GOD!

To put it another way, I really doubt that there are Ukrainians worrying about what gender they wish they were/are ------ they are far too busy trying to survive. This gay, transgender, lesbian concern finds credibility only in places where people have free time on their hands and nothing better to do.

You are one of the reasons that transgenders lives are not comedic.
