It took her doctor three, one hour visits to decide to put her on a path that put her on puberty blockers and removed her breasts.

It took my childhood doctor longer to decide if I should be on Ritalin, and they passed that out like candy in the nineties.

In my experience, if being the perfect you isn't enough for em, they aren't worth your time or energy. Just work on enriching you and who you think you are and who you want to be personally. All that other stuff falls into place along the way. Trust me.

With how tied up your gender identity is to your past trauma, I'd take a few years of therapy for the trauma before you even consider transitioning. You have to know whether you're dysphoric because of past trauma or because of some chemical/genetic imbalance. If you were to transition while under dysphoria from trauma, you stand a high chance of enhancing the dysphoria further.

So get right with your past trauma first. In what you said I see a lot of indicators that your dysphoria is directly related to your trauma, as it is that most folks with naturally occurring dysphoria experience the disorder from birth. Transitioning under trauma induced dysphoria, more often than not, causes more problems than it fixes, if it fixes anything at all.

Then your telling me that the homosexuality we fought for in the 90's is a total lie? I find the idea of fluid sexuality to be farcical, and further, the idea that you can change your sexuality was driven first by the "pray the gay away" crowd. The way I see it, you got things mixed up backwards. I've never experienced in my thirty plus years on earth a moment where I was presented with the choice, and had I had one, my family life would have been fought with far less disownings.

What I'm saying is that in our community, there's reason enough to be suspicious. Due to our unique sexualities, parents often pawn off the job of dating and sex guidance to the lgbt community.

If you're an lgbt sex predator, you're probably standing right at that metaphorical front door. I haven't seen any surveys on the subject, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that there's a large portion of the lgbt community that would title the first chapter of their biography "how I was sexually assaulted".

Disregarding that, I think the claim to pedophilia comes from the fascination with transitioning children long before they're capable of fathoming those sort of decisions. It doesn't help that known trans pedophiles like Jessica Yaniv are actively defended by elements of our community. They also had a registered sex offender reading to children in drag in New York city. Point is, our community has been infiltrated by organized pedophilia. If you hang out with wild dogs, don't be surprised when you get fleas. If we don't want the association, then we shouldn't be so dismissive of the active pedophiles in our community.

Well, there's a couple ways you could go about it. There's a soft way, and a not so soft way.

The soft way is getting to the very core of why you feel the way you do. What is it exactly you don't like about your body? Where do those feelings rise from? More often than not, folks of your age group overwhelmingly return to their original gender into adulthood. You have to figure out the nature of your desire. The only people transition is appropriate for is folks with a very deep seated, chemically induced brain issue that causes traumatic levels of dysphoria. Usually, there is a psychological explanation that can be solved without surgical or pharmaceutical treatments.

The not so soft way; calculated traumatic exposure. Do the research on what exactly constitutes gender transitioning. Quite likely, the adults in your life have distorted the consequences of transition. You will have voice changes, like a boy going through puberty, your voice will crack, and if you enjoy singing, be prepared to lose your range forever. This may not ever go away. At your age, hormone therapy will change the way puberty runs its course. Even should you choose to detrans, some results may be permanent. Hormone replacement therapy itself can induce early onset cancers as well. And the big one; genital reassignment surgery requires that they take a huge patch of skin from your arm or leg to make the faux dick. You will have a huge and obvious scar somewhere from this surgery.

There's nearly a full pound more meat in the male human brain than there is the female human brain. It's not just a bold lie, it's physically impossible.

There does exist a phenomenon where the wrong brain goes into the wrong skull; cross breeding Doberman with Rottweiler. The Rotty brain and skull continue to grow with age, the Doberman does not. What happens when you cross breed them is a brain that continues to grow and a skull that doesn't. The result is an ever increasing level of aggression and insanity as the pain from the pressure on the brain increases over time. This condition is fatal in the long term.

It seems to me that if there is physical explanation for dysphoria, it would be related to hormonal changes in the womb. For instance, the likelihood of having a gay boy is higher if you had a girl recently. Given the sheer number of pharmaceuticals we shove down our gullets, especially in regards to food controlled with hormones, it's no surprise the female body would have difficulties regulating the delicate hormonal balance necessary for natal development.

It's also important to note that our definition of "male" and "female" archetypes are made from societal stereotypes, and thusly, applying labels like "male - brained" is completely irrelevant.

In science, we might define a quality as "typically male or female", but those qualities are by no means exclusive to one gender or the other, psychologically speaking. The underlying issue of the dysphoric isn't a physical condition created from the results of a lack of stereotypical labeling. It's a psychological condition generated from a combination of chemical and psychological events.

I think comparing to other forms of body dysphoria adds quite a bit of clarity to the reality of the transgender condition.

To quote from your link, "Although the researchers have identified some of the SNPs involved in same-sex sexual behaviour, they aren’t sure what the genetic variants do. One is near a gene related to smell, which Ganna says has a role in sexual attraction. Another SNP is associated with male-pattern baldness — a trait influenced by levels of sex hormones, which suggests that these hormones are also linked to same-sex sexual behaviour."

Obviously it's more complicated than a single gene, however, it's obvious there are genetic factors in play.

You've convoluted hatred of leftists for hatred of trans.

The human mind is programmed to identify disease in potential mates to prevent the spread of disease or having diseased children with poor genetics. This instinct has developed over millions of years. Even if you pass at first glance, the human subconscious can detect the physical anomalies the conscious eyes can't. As a result, most trans folks write themselves off of the potential breeding pool because 9 out of 10 people are subconsciously repulsed by the simulation of disease.

I think psychology better answers the question than political fear mongering does.
