CyricZ 02/23/22 5:30:36 PM #204 | HHH is the game posted... You're claiming that there's some magical thing https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ClarkesThirdLaw Just because we don't understand it down to the micron doesn't mean it doesn't exist, nor does it mean it's magic. I mean it's not like we've figured out "love" yet. just know "I am male" based on nothingPretty much. despite male not being a word that actually means anything?Of course it means something. It's in the dictionary. Meaning it has whatever meaning we choose to assign to it. And despite you admitting you don't know what male actually means?Didn't say that. And cis people just can't understand.Cis people generally find it harder to understand. It does require a bit of an open mind to accept. Do you think you could manage that? --- CyricZ He/him |

CyricZ 02/23/22 5:20:31 PM #197 | HHH is the game posted... What is a male gender identity?We don't know precisely. It's not like we've pulled a piece of the brain apart, pointed to it and said "there it is, the gender identity". The only reason we know it exists is because transgender people exist. 0x4B616E6A6F posted... Wait, I'm trying to follow this topic. Are people advocating for trans rights now saying that gender isn't determined in the brain? And that it is environmental? I may be misreading this. No. Gender identity is determined in the brain. The environmental aspects are simply a manner of expressing one's gender. Not everyone uses the same means of expression. --- CyricZ He/him |

CyricZ 02/23/22 5:13:44 PM #192 | HHH is the game posted... Male = what?A male gender identity. All of your questions will make sense if you can accept the fact that there's an internal aspect to yourself that identifies you as male, independent of society, independent of expression, independent of your parts. The reason most cisgender people don't "get it" or realize it exists is because their gender identity matches their parts and/or their expression. It's something that's hard for cis people to understand, but any trans person can tell you exists because they've felt it. --- CyricZ He/him |

CyricZ 02/23/22 4:53:50 PM #183 | HHH is the game posted... but if gender stereotypes don't existNo one's suggesting this. Just because not everyone relies on them, doesn't mean they don't exist. because boy and girl no longer mean anything.Not true. We gave such labels meaning via our society and culture. "Boy" is defined as a child who identifies as male by their gender identity. This may not mean their sex is male, and it may not mean their expression is masculine, but the baseline is what society has typically thought of what a boy appears as and acts like. And that's all it is. Just a baseline. We gave it meaning via history and culture. Girl is the previous paragraph, but with the obvious substituted out. I've tried multiple times but nobody has ever been able to explain to meAnd people have tried multiple times to explain it to you but you're never satisfied with the answer. Against my better judgment, I'm trying again. --- CyricZ He/him |

CyricZ 02/23/22 4:47:45 PM #180 | Chortlez posted... Okay dude, we're gonna have to have some definitions because you're bringing up the term gender identity. How is this different from your gender?... Okay. Gender identity is defined as one's innermost concept of self as male, female, a blend of both or neither how individuals perceive themselves and what they call themselves. One's gender identity can be the same or different from their sex assigned at birth. When you're talking about toys and tendencies for what people want to do with themselves, I think you may be thinking more towards gender expression, which is the external appearance of one's gender identity, usually expressed through behavior, clothing, haircut or voice, and which may or may not conform to socially defined behaviors and characteristics typically associated with being either masculine or feminine. Often when it comes to discussions of transgender people and cisgender people, the term "gender" is typically understood as being one's gender identity. --- CyricZ He/him |

CyricZ 02/23/22 4:12:56 PM #159 | dj1200 posted... what constitutes 'gender-affirming care'?Anything that would require a doctor's intervention. This would include puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy. That's bad enough, but the serious problem is that the wording of this seeks to encompass any person of authority involved that would require them to report any transgender children to state agencies as if they were being abused. --- CyricZ He/him |

They differ in the methods in which you effectively communicate with them (girls are more cooperative with authoritative figures, boys don't give a shit), they differ in what motivates them and what gives their lives meaning, even how they best learn.Are you suggesting that applies more to biological sex or gender? --- CyricZ He/him |

Puberty doesnt just affect the genitals, it affects the brain and whole body. And this is all completely new, so we cant know the long term effects.Since when has "this could hurt people" ever stopped you? I understand there are risks to these treatments. For transgender children and their parents, doctors are available to provide this information. --- CyricZ He/him |

The only "speaking" done by this is that more trans children are feeling enabled to come forward about being trans. Unless you have another theory. DowntownMrSmith posted...

Anyone, such as a doctor, teacher, counselor will be required under this interpretation of the law to report any child who says they're transgender to state agencies. Parents can be prosecuted for assisting in their transgender child's care. This is fucking fascism. --- CyricZ He/him |
