@ThoughtD73600@Isabellazpug Oh? What is truth?
Common sense, what you believe in?
How do you convince others of this "truth"? Any tangible way to measure and know you're getting close to this "truth"?
@ThoughtD73600@Isabellazpug Trans people believe in the medical consensus.
Let me use an example which should be easy to understand: Do you judge a religion based on random people who believe in it, or based on their main book?
@TudorRose1845@SxstaSeparatist Bioessentialism relies on rigid, non-overlapping binary categories. Acknowledging that brains map "similarly" implies a bimodal distribution or any sort of overlap.
@JunusAnna And again, Nobody is arguing that it is just a "feeling" except for people who don't understand the difference between administrative demographics and medical reality.
Strawmen are not neccesay when we can listen to each other and present our arguments faithfully.
@JunusAnna Did I say humans can change sex?
Did I even talk about sex?
Does the medical consensus say anything like humans being able to change sex or...?
What it clearly states is sex and gender being different, for a start.
@JunusAnna Sure, we both know any large group has people with different views.
But I'm talking about the medical and scientific consensus.
βIt's easy cherry-pick the least scientific voices to represent a massive demographic, but we both know that isn't a good-faith representation.
@JunusAnna People said they're **needed** for that reason or did they tell a story where they happened to be helpful and be as needed as any other person who happens to have the right tools at the right time?
I'd like to see the story you got this from

@ChantelleA33696 3. βShowing up in a demographic (like a census or a crime stat) only requires self-ID.
Checking a box on an administrative form does not mean you actually are correct about being that identity.
