Keep it respectful I dont wanna debate whether its scientifically valid or political things. But feel free to ask about mt personal experience with being trans
Wanna talk in dm
More privately?
Umm yeah thats fine
Shot me dm
I can't send it
Can I hit
No.
damn, worth a shot, would you agree noaya is transgender affirming with how misogynistic he is.
Do you see your gender dysphoria as a psychological condition in which gender affirming care is the only treatment or do you believe there is a biological basis to your condition?
I don’t mean any disrespect by the question. The way Trans people were explained to me was that it was a mental condition with the only effective treatment being Gender Affirming Care. I’m open to having my mind changed if that’s not the consensus.
No
I wont ask
Is there health related issues with the surgeries you gotta get ?
Do you like girls
Both honestly
There can be complications yeah
Yes
Heyy
They haven’t had any surgery
💀💀the part hasn’t been altered so I’m assuming it’s the same
Nope
Is Cowboy Bebop one of your Favorite animes?
What part of your identity as a trans person is based on biology? Is there a noticeable difference in the brain that is distinctly different from that of a cis person? I only ask that because I remember a study of some kind being mentioned that showcased brain scans with speculative analysis presented that could be evidence that Gender Dysphoria had a biological basis that could be observed in specific cases.
Why are you trans
don't worry, it is a scientifically backed up phenomenon
How did you know you felt like you weren't whatever you were born as, since to me as far as I'm aware the only difference is the reproductive organs and xx/xy chromosomes?
i can't Talk as them, but i can make it a bit more understandable, when the fetus develops the physical anatomy and brain structures develop at different times, when the mother is exposed to certain hormones, it can lead the brain to develop a internal identity that differs from the external anatomy, quite literay like the stereotypical phrase "a girl in a boy's body" or the other way around
the thing is i suppose it's hard for most to grasp because atleast for me i dont have a part of my identity that is like, oh yea im a boy, it's just kinda like who I am
so it is for a trans male in this case. the "oh yeah, i'm a boy" is still there, but everytime you'd look in a mirror you'd see the clear difference
I think it might just be something I can't understand without experiencing it myself, and i mean understand as in understand the feeling, i get it's totally normal and what not, I don't have any problem with it, only silly people would
