But you kinda are admitting is a social 'conbstruct' ?

If it's not in the genetics then it's made by the environmental society the person is in. AKA if the conditions were different chances are that person would develop normally.

That's not at all the case. Brain chemistry is not a social construct. A transgender person had the brain of one gender but the physical body of another.

which is still made as you grow up.

You don't get born gay or trans.

Sorry, but no. While your environment does play a role in your development, but by itself it does not determine your gender (or sexuality for that matter.)

Do you have a link to any serious investigation that links sexual attraction to the genetics? (Gender is in the genetics)

I didn't mention genetics.

Then what determines gender and sexuality?

Biology and environment influence sexuality. Biology determines gender/sex.

Then both biology determines sexuality?

Why are you talking about sexuality when this journal is about gender lmao. Also wtf does your sentence mean, I think you forgot a word.

aren't they related?

Sort of. But they're still different.

Question - when you say that an mtf has a female brain, what study are you referring to, and are you sure that study isolated pre-hormone transsexuals? If not, you may be putting the cart before the horse; rather than transsexualism being caused by a person's brain being like the opposite gender, it's causing it indirectly by making them take hormone treatments which *do* change the brain chemistry.

Just something to consider.

Allowing a trans person to transition actually alleviates their dysphoria, and there are trans people who either chose or can't do HRT and still feel like the opposite gender. So I wouldn't call it a case of putting the cart before the horse.

Ah, I see. However, this does not mean that the 'brain mapping' does not match the body; it merely means that the treatment of giving them hormones and surgery is supposedly effective at treating the disorder. Indeed, given that they are still fundamentally their original sex, it may just be that their body image has changed - or it may even be a simple matter of the placebo effect.

Also, an interesting point to consider; I am a man. I only know what it feels like to be a man. A mtf transsexual is also, biologically speaking, a man - perhaps a man with gender dysphoria, but still fundamentally a man. How, then, do we know that such a person 'feels like a woman'? He is not a woman; he is a man. He cannot know how a woman feels, not from the perspective of being one. I'm sure they feel as if they'd be more comfortable in a woman's body, but there's a big difference between feeling like a woman and feeling like one would be more comfortable as a woman. Given that, even after surgery and hormones, the person's body is still very much the same, I suspect that this is actually the case - not that a person 'feels' like the opposite sex, but that they feel like they'd be more comfortable as the opposite sex, since their actual physiology does not change significantly compared to all the differences between men and women.

Sorry, that's just always bugged me, the SJW rhetoric confusing 'feeling like' and 'feeling like I'd be happier as'.
