The part that kills me is the policeman’s quote from a transgender sensitivity seminar conducted by a transgender person: “a male foetus can be born with a female brain.”
This is absolute bullshit. You’d think these people (transgenders) would know gender is a social construct. If there is any difference BIOLOGICALLY between a male and female brain, there is no way a male can be born with a female brain or vice versa. The odds of that happening would be extremely neglible to the point that “being transgender” would be an immensely rare phenomenon such as being born a hermaphrodite (having male and female sex organs). This is just baffling. There is nothing biological about gender. If there was you would notice nearly the same gender traits across all societies.

One in which during development gender roles for their society were not strongly communicated to them.
I want to point out that being transgender and wanting boobs plus vagina as a male or no boobs and a penis as a female are two completely different things. The former is not recognizing certain aspects of gender being constrained to your biological sex. For example males can have long hair, wear makeup, play with dolls, or paint their nails. It is a recognition that the gender roles and traits we have determined in our society for males and females (which are not strictly biological ie excluding breastfeeding, childbirth, etc.) are fluid, and that as a person you can adopt any of these which appeal to you. The former on the other is being transsexual. It no longer is about gender. It has now become about sex, and the desire to be your nonbiological sex. This phenomena is a delusion of the mind. The moment someone claiming to be transgender fixes their sight on obtaining the opposite sex’s sex organs or wanting to become the opposite sex they cease to be transgender. They are transsexual. This is a distinction that is never clearly made by LGBT advocates for obvious reasons.

Have you read 1984? The most powerful tool the party uses is the destruction of language, and thus of thought. The ultimate goal of newspeak is to simplify the language so much that certain ideas won't even be possible to express verbally. And if you can't say it then you can't really think it.

Abstract:
>Biological differences between men and women contribute to many sex-specific illnesses and disorders. Historically, it was argued that such differences were largely, if not exclusively, due to gonadal hormone secretions. However, emerging research has shown that some differences are mediated by mechanisms other than the action of these hormone secretions and in particular by products of genes located on the X and Y chromosomes, which we refer to as direct genetic effects. This paper reviews the evidence for direct genetic effects in behavioral and brain sex differences. We highlight the `four core genotypes' model and sex differences in the midbrain dopaminergic system, specifically focusing on the role of Sry. We also discuss novel research being done on unique populations including people attracted to the same sex and people with a cross-gender identity. As science continues to advance our understanding of biological sex differences, a new field is emerging that is aimed at better addressing the needs of both sexes: gender-based biology and medicine. Ultimately, the study of the biological basis for sex differences will improve healthcare for both men and women.

Abstract:
>Genes and culture are often thought of as opposite ends of the nature–nurture spectrum, but here we examine possible interactions. Genetic association studies suggest that variation within the genes of central neurotransmitter systems, particularly the serotonin (5-HTTLPR, MAOA-uVNTR) and opioid (OPRM1 A118G), are associated with individual differences in social sensitivity, which reflects the degree of emotional responsivity to social events and experiences. Here, we review recent work that has demonstrated a robust cross-national correlation between the relative frequency of variants in these genes and the relative degree of individualism–collectivism in each population, suggesting that collectivism may have developed and persisted in populations with a high proportion of putative social sensitivity alleles because it was more compatible with such groups. Consistent with this notion, there was a correlation between the relative proportion of these alleles and lifetime prevalence of major depression across nations. The relationship between allele frequency and depression was partially mediated by individualism–collectivism, suggesting that reduced levels of depression in populations with a high proportion of social sensitivity alleles is due to greater collectivism. These results indicate that genetic variation may interact with ecological and social factors to influence psychocultural differences.

Being transsexual is different because you actually want to transistion to a nonbiological sex. This would give the impression it is linked closer to the brain, mental disease, and genetics.

First of all.
The topic of this thread is clearly talking about transsexuals, as one of the remarks in the article posted was to do with sex changes.
You then replied, speaking about the biolgoical implications, et cetera.
Transexual as defined in the WIki is:
>Transsexual (less commonly transexual[1]) people experience a gender identity that is inconsistent with, or not culturally associated with, their assigned sex, and desire to permanently transition to the gender with which they identify, usually seeking medical assistance (including hormone replacement therapy and other sex reassignment therapies) to help them align their body with their identified sex or gender.

I'm kind of glad that TERFs aren't as prevalent in the US. They seem very toxic and resentful. Transbians, at least the ones I've met aren't that bad. There is definitely a vocal minority that gives the movement a bad name and they do ought to be shunned, but they are small peanuts compared to other social problems. I think the emphasis the modern American left places on identity politics is just a safe sublimation of energy after the 1960s class and race based movements were destroyed by the establishment. It is pretty ridiculous that you can be chased out of a socialist party for being too concerned with class politics.

There is a difference between female and male brains but it's hormonal and developmental, not literally different organs, you can't switch them or clearly delimit them. This difference remains regardless of personal feelings or delusions, your body constitutes whether you are male or female, if you develop a male reproductive system then you develop a so-called 'male brain', it is one system.

if you're a true trans you're fucked up in the head with other shit most likely, because its a defect biologically speaking. being trans is like being born with tree arms, its rare to be, buts even rarer that the third arm is fully functioning and formed. being fucked up in the head along with all the bullshit trans people have to deal with would make any sane person want to jump in front of a bus.

then there's fake trans or "traps" who are just weird autistic autistic outcast who cant deal with the changes brought by puberty and/or advanced loneliness. you can go on r9k or any 4chan discord and see it slowly happening. it begins with fapping to traps, and then wanting to be the trap/ little girl, wanting to be cute and loved and innocent, eventually it turns into full blown fetish-fetishism. this type of tranny are the easiest to distinguish because they dress like they originally wish their imaginary girlfriend would, knee socks, skater skirts, t shirt et.c.

people just goad these people on "with good intentions" its like they don't realize its a delicate psychological issue that takes time and soul searching and cost/ benefit analysis. its all feel good "do good" to them and yaas queeen and when guys in skirts start cutting their wrists its not their fault its because of "straight bullying"
