The one thing that bothers me the most is that people like you do not bother to do research into what they are talking about, meaning they are basically ignorant about the topic they are talking about and on top of that, biased to the nth degree.
Gender identity is not only based on what genitalia you were born with but also the genes you were born with. Those are not always the same. As such, you could have been born with testicles. but your genes say you are a woman. This is not opinion but science:
What is gender dysphoria?
- Gender dysphoria is the distress felt by people whose sense of being male or female differs from the gender they are assigned at birth based on their sex.
- For some people, the difference between their gender identity and physical characteristics can cause significant and persistent emotional distress. The terms ‘transgender’ or ‘gender diverse’ are often used to describe these identities.
- Estimates of the prevalence of gender dysphoria are increasing and range from 0.1 to 1 per cent of the population.
- People with gender dysphoria have increased rates of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-harm and suicide.
- Not all people who identify as transgender or who experience gender dysphoria take steps to transition socially or physically from their birth sex to their experienced gender.
Here is a video that explains in more detail:
I am NOT surprised that it is YOU (Independent Thinker) that put up this OP, as you have shown ignorance and bias throughout all your posts here on this board. Perhaps you should change your nickname to "Nonthinker"
Oh, and by the way and talking about the "one in twenty Democrats who may run in 2028, thinking that man can become a woman, and one that thinks otherwise", you may want to consider that those 19 are intelligent and have done their research and that the one that thinks otherwise is like you.............ignorant!
and also "by the way", in the video you will see that transgender has been around for 6,000 years, meaning it is not something that just happened and that Democrats invented!
You truly make me sick. The one thing I absolutely hate is "ignorance", given that all it takes to get rid of it, is read and do research!
