It's a very useful graph, so me too.

I thought about making posters with it and putting them up at my school, actually. But no one would get it.

It's more of an observation than confining oneself.

The Truth and Light wrote:Gender is a construct that exist in human society, independent of biological sex. It is based around one's identity and self-created role in society, in relation to others around them. Although a gender stereotype is often applied to you based on your biological sex, this is arbitrary and doesn't have to be the case. Every individual society has their own gender stereotypes, and sometimes they overlap. Some people, transgenders, feel that their society's construct of gender based around their does not fit them, so they perform the role of the opposite gender. This is not considered a mental illness, although many transgender people do suffer trauma from discrimination and bullying.


Are you saying that gender is a social construct and nothing more, and that trans people just want a different job? I don't agree with that. I reckon the existance of David Reimer says that being raised as a girl doesn't make you a girl if you were born a cis guy. A friend of mine is MtF but her job and hobbies are almost entirely masculine. I believe there are also brain differences in men and women that do mean they think different ways, though hell if I'm gonna dig up a link this late. (Yes, I know this post contains no evidence, but yours didn't beyond that link which doesn't completely support what you say, at first glance.)

You don't know where it comes from, you don't know how they think, you don't know what causes it, common traits, chemical affects, or anything else that is possible used in clinical psychology to classify, understand, and analyze personality types, trauma, disorders, or anything like that.

And despite your ignorance, despite your lack of knowledge on the subject and apparent lack of experience interacting with transgender people, you go ahead and say, "FUCK ALL YALL" to the scientific, psychiatric, neuroscientific, genetic, and transgender communities. And what do you go with? "Oh it's just not common, so it's can't be considered good."

You have committed the worst, most disgusting genetic fallacy I have ever seen.


My reasoning isn't so much about it being "uncommon" as it is about it being illogical and not grounded in reality, no person in their right mind thinks or wants to be what they are not.


This is entirely and completely bullshit. I'm not a PhD. I want to be a PhD. This does not make me insane. Your argument fails.

So we should ostracize, say, people with an autistic spectrum disorder like, I don't know, Asperger's? Or how about bipolar people? After all, they suffer from disorders and, according to your logic, disorders shouldn't be seen as normal and people who suffer from them shouldn't be seen as normal either, again, if we follow your line of thinking.


Ostracize, no, that's not what I'm going for. All the disorders you listed are just that, disorders, anomalies, that are not normal and we shouldn't tell people with them they are normal. What do we do with people with illnesses? We treat them, medicine and therapy.


It is not a disorder. The word "disorder" has a meaning, and being trans* does not fit it.
