An excellent transition that really just gives me hope for myself. I don't see any surplus of masculinity. I'd assume you, or the person in the pic, were a cis girl if I saw you.
Yep that's a success! Her face looked androgynous even as a guy, but after the transition it has a feminine touch. The science and techniques are progressing really fast, ten years ago it wouldn't have been that natutal looking.
(if you want another stunningly successful transition, there's a Brazilian model who's just waouh, I don't remember her last name but her first name is Claudia, maybe someone'll know who I'm talking about).
Probably not. It's an expensive process that many people don't want or need to do. She may have had SRS though judging by how absolutely feminine she is.
First of all did you just call a human being an it?
Second of all, that's not true, and you know why. Let people live their lives, man. Let them be happy.
Different guest here. In original guest's defence, it is the proper gender neutral term for a singular article. People don't like to be called its, but it is grammatically correct unlike they.
On a side note, sex is determined entirely by dimorphism of the x or y chromosome. This person may have the appearance of a female, but every single cell in their body contains a y chromosome. They are still Male. Their risk for heart disease and color blindness are that of a male. Their risk of haemophilia and gallbladder complications are not that of a female. Their doctor has to treat them as a male or they could die to a medical complication.
They has been used a gender neutral term for hundreds of years. Where did my child go? They probably went over there! When will my server be here? Calm down, dear; They'll be here soon.
Also, sex is usually defined by genetics, but it is an odd network. To put it very simply, you have many dimorphic features in your body that determine your sex and very, very few people display all the signs of a single sex. Even ignoring that, sex and gender have diverged into different words over the years with sex being the biological male/female and gender being an identification. It's not a new concept at all and trans people have been dated back to... the entirety of documented human history.
Overall, if you don't believe trans people exist, then you're on the same boat as people who think the Earth is flat. If your doctor asks you your sex, then you should tell them male even if you identify as a woman although you are perfectly free to say what you identify as.
Trans people exist. They are just boys pretending they're girls or girls pretending they're boys. They are aberrations, and I refuse to participate in their delusion and encourage the idea that you can be whatever you want to be. I can say I'm a fucking unicorn and glue a dildo to my head, but the fact will still be a human male with a fake dick on my face. Kinda like how the thing in the picture has fake tits.
Not quite. It's boys who are mentally damaged when people refuse to call them boys and girls who are mentally damaged when people refuse to call them girls.
You are right about just calling yourself something doesn't make it true. But trans people have been studied for decades. There are known scientific mechanisms for how trans people differ from cis people. Your brain decides what gender you are from when you are inside of the womb and sometimes your brain doesn't quite understand that it's supposed to a boy brain and not a girl brain. That's how you get a boy body with a girl mind. This is also why you can't identify as a non-human.
And those are real boobies grown by the person themselves. Give a man estrogen and other female hormones, and they'll start growing boobs, getting softer skin, and less body hair.
New guest here...first let me start with, I believe that you should be able to do whatever makes you happy, as long as it doesn’t infringe my pursuit of happiness. Also, I believe that transgendered people have every right to change their gender and believe their gender is whatever they think. That being said, I don’t believe that transgender should be termed anything different than what it is. A mental illness. Gender disidentity is a mental illness that someone has that makes them believe they are the opposite gender. It is a chemical imbalance. Similar to how depression is a chemical imbalance and is a mental illness. Should they be tormented or discouraged or anything, definitely not. But they need to accept that what is causing that belief is a mental illness and they ARE the same sex they were born with. Whether they identify as it or not, they are what you are born as. But like I said, there should be no bad treatment of these individuals an they have to the right to do as
Exactly. Trans people, just like any other able-minded person, has the right to do as they please with their life. And just like with any other person, we should respect their choices. Harassing people for something they believe in or identify as is not okay.
I always find the "They can do whatever they want, but we can lie about what they are and what they want as much as we want" argument to be the worst.
It's not a mental illness. You are confusing gender dysphoria with transgendered people. Dysphoria is the illness that comes from them not expressing their identity. A human with a broken leg isn't a broken leg. They're a person with a broken leg, and that leg can be fixed while the person still exists. Plenty of trans people live without any dysphoria. Being trans isn't the illness. Having the broken leg is. This entire myth was brought about by the same people who classified being gay as a mental illness which everybody knows to reject nowadays, yet they don't seem to understand that the same is true of trans people.
@freudiandip, It's also not a choice. I'd gladly choose to be cis over being trans - it'd be infinitely easier. But it's not a choice, so I gotta deal with it.
I meant the choice of transitioning, not being trans. Some trans people choose not to transitition because of medical, familial or harrassment reasons. (I have trans friends that have explained their experiences to me already, so I know.)
And having gender dysphoria is part of what makes a person trans, so people who identify themselves as trans are often diagnosed with it. Gender dysphoria, along with body dysphoria and, well, most other dysphorias is still classified as mental illnesses, so calling them such is technically not wrong. At least that's how I interpreted Guest 3's words, even though their wording was a bit off.
Dysphoria is not part of what makes someone trans. It's a side effect of not expressing your gender. Trans people who go through hormone therapy and usually stop having dysphoria. All people with gender dysphoria are trans, but not all trans people have gender dysphoria.
The context clues given in the guest's post indicate that he was anti-trans under the guise of being pro-trans. A harmful ally as some would call them. If the context around the post shows anti-trans ideas, then it is only natural to take a phrase that can go either way as anti-trans as well.

Harvard did a nice paper describing the basics of transgender identity. http://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2016/gender-lines-science-transgender-identity/

Did you know that the more anti-trans someone is, the more likely they are to be trans?

I was asking if they (the doctors) made a sex change.
