realizing that cishet “people” see being gay and being trans as one and the same was insanely eye-opening but equally heartbreaking. i was trying to build up the courage to come out to my parents but gave up the moment i understood that they would never accept me for who i am because they simply don't have the necessary brain capacity to grasp what my identity even means. i'm not even a “genderfuck” nonbinary kinda thing i'm literally just a guy but my parents are genuinely too retarded to understand what being transsexual means i've even tried to soft-launch a coming out and they just can't get it inside of their thick skulls that i am simply NOT a dyke. they can't even properly understand the concept of bisexuality to be honest. i think i’m going to spare both them and myself of getting brain damage and wasting time by employing the “not even trying to explain anything to anyone” strategy. i’m just gonna do diy hrt and move out and keep contact to a minimum.

>this is not the medical consensus lol
it's not, but it's the popular way of thinking about things in places like this because we're all trannies and we've all been trannies our entire lives, and there's not another explanation that really accounts for that imo.

if you think we're all full of shit though, you need only look to this thread's image. why did david reimer develop gender dysphoria if not because he had some innate sense in his brain of the sex he was 'supposed' to be?
>>
>>42490814
because david reimer was sexually abused, whatever happened to him, you cannot pretend he only was raised as a girl, he was also molested and traumatized by a creepy ass old therapist who made him practice sex with his brother

I fail to see the relevance of David Reimer to the typical mtf.
>be born male
>be raised as a girl because some egotistic doctorfags wanted to use you as an experiment
>your maleness, which you have because you're literally biologically male, results in gender dysphoria
versus
>be born male
>raised as a boy because you're male
>start to get gender dysphoria
How can there possibly be a common cause between these two?

To clear things up I support medical and surgical transitions for children and adults but it's not because I think there's some hidden neurosex variable.
>>
>>42490689
Why do trannies want to be classified as intersex so badly? That wouldn't make you closer to the sex you want to become, it would make you a defective AMAB/AFAB, NB at best.
Anybody trying to LARP as a intersex brain individual will be addressed as they/them. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
>>
>>42490824
>david reimer was sexually abused
people respond to sexual abuse in a lot of ways. insisting they're a boy isn't really on of them, i think, but sure, let's say that was how david responded to it. that would be well and good IF there weren't, like, half a dozen other boys who went through the same thing (experiencing varying levels of abuse) and developed dysphoria symptoms too.

>I fail to see the relevance of David Reimer to the typical mtf.
the relevance is that his case demonstrates the existence of neurosex, and, as i stated, transsexuals have a disordered neruosex.

david was born male, and, like most natal males, his neurosex was male as well. when forced to live as a girl, he developed gender dysphoria because there was a disagreement between the sex he was forced to live as and believed himself to be, and the sex his brain knew he 'ought' to be.

a transsexual woman is a natal male with a female neurosex. she experiences dysphoria because her physical sex and the sex she is forced to live as is in misalignment with the sex she feels she 'ought' to be.
>>
>>42490870
Unless you have any evidence of Reimer's neurosex (1) matching those of other cis men (2) matching those of other trans men (3) differing from those of cis women, this is a complete post-rationalization. There is nothing specific to the neurological system about Reimer's case. How do you know it wasn't his hidden osteosex or hepatosex that caused him to feel male?

the word i'd use is theory. do you have a better one? and can you justify these requirements or are they just what your heart led you to? i don't see why this is a requirement for the neurosex model to be a reasonable conclusion, the research just ain't there yet.
>There is nothing specific to the neurological system about Reimer's case. How do you know it wasn't his hidden osteosex or hepatosex that caused him to feel male?
again, reimer was not the only patient of money's that underwent this 'treatment' and developed dysphoria symptoms. if you make a bunch of boys live as girls and you don't tell them, yet they all come to you and say they're boys, i think it's pretty sensible to think "huh, there must be something in boys' brains that tells them they're boys." this is neurosex.

Stupid Jew, the Islamic Republic of Iran subsidizes 100% of the cost of transition for mtfs.
Jews spread transphobia on television and online.

Imagine actually thinking I would ever side with you over them.
>>
>>42490836
>How can there possibly be a common cause between these two?
I don't think the argument is that there is a "common cause" (well I suppose OP already made that neurosex argument).

I think that Reimer is relevant to the MTF discussion because his case completely destroys the social contagion/groomer argument. There could not have been a more direct attempt to medically, socially, and psychologically groom someone into being a specific gender and it failed horrifically.

The idea that some niggas on 4chan posting pink pill infographics are the reason trannies exist is fucking absurd.
>>
>>42490929
>can you justify these requirements or are they just what your heart led you to?
Are you serious?
If his neurosex doesn't match that of a cis man, why would it make him feel male?
If his neurosex doesn't match that of a trans man, it would disprove your theory that neurosex predicts gender identity.
If his neurosex matches that of a cis woman, it would suggest that neurosex is actually just social gender.
Before we go any further, do you actually have any record relating to Reimer's neurosex, or are you just retconning it?
>brains
You still haven't told me why it can't be the bones or the livers. All those boys had male bones and male livers.

Here is the inconvenient truth for Judenstaat Amerika.
>>
>>42490972
his and the other boys' neurosex is statistically 99% likely to be male. transsexuality is a rare disorder, it'd be a big coincidence if david had it, so i think it's very fair to assume he'd have the same neurosex as the other 99% of cis men.

we conclude a trans man has the same neurosex because he experiences dysphoria living as a girl in the same way reimer and the other boys experienced dysphoria.

and again, if you want to say this has no merit i think you're obligated to provide an alternate explanation for the dysphoria. to me this is just the most sensible theory.

>You still haven't told me why it can't be the bones or the livers.
well, if i was to think of a place where there the sex a person knows they 'ought' to be as i have described lives, i would probably say that's in the brain. it would be impressive it the bones or the liver could pull that off i think. anyway, i don't see how presenting unreasonable alternative explanations at all disputes the validity of my explanation. i am simply presenting a theory that explains the evidence i've seen and aligns with the experience of transsexuals.

You are underage if you think one case disproves anything. Please shut the fuck up.

no it's not.

>>42491030
That's a good one. We don't even need to try to observe this supposed neurosex in the wild. We can just assume all people are cis and gender dysphoria is solved.
>i don't see how presenting unreasonable alternative explanations at all disputes the validity of my explanation.
The point is that those unreasonable alternatives have just as much evidence behind them as your pet theory.
I can just as well assume it's because of the bones or livers. No neuroanatomical evidence means no neuroanatomical assumption. Sorry.

Here's another one:

>>42491058

this implies that you think there's a decent chance reimer was somehow atypical. in what way do you figure he was atypical, and what do you pin the odds of that variance at?

You cannot "groom" someone into a gender identity.
>>
>>42491066
>We can just assume all people are cis and gender dysphoria is solved.
do you mean to tell me that you dismiss my theory because i have failed to account for the off-chance that the ~half dozen males who were studied were all by sheer blind chance transsexual? assuming transsexuality prevalence of 1%, the odds of that are about 1E-10%, so yeah i'm pretty comfortable ignoring that possibility and accepting that i have a 1E-10% chance of being wrong. boo-hoo.
>The point is that those unreasonable alternatives have just as much evidence behind them as your pet theory.
yeah, but they also don't make any sense so i prefer my theory?...
>I can just as well assume it's because of the bones or livers.
no you can't, because that doesn't make any sense. how would that even work? it is most likely in the brain. i am not saying that neurosex is something that i can prove exists with 100% certainty, if that wasn't clear. what i am saying is that neurosex is imho the most sensible theory that best explains the available evidence. i don't see what else would make more sense.
>>if the angel crosses from left to right...
this theory involves the supernatural. like i said, i am a naturalist, so no this is not a possibility i have considered.
