Why is it, if the body and the brain disagree on what the person is, some people think the body takes precedence. Am I talking to hands right now, or, am I talking to a brain, a mind? If you believe in it, a soul? Because sometimes the brain is damaged or otherwise malfunctioning. That's why we so often treat people with mental issues. Sometimes it's therapy or medication. Look, we have people with Body Integrity Identity Disorder who feel disphoric because their brains think they shouldn't have that arm or leg. Should that be less acceptable than people with Gender Disphoria who's brains feel like they shouldn't have that penis or vagina? If altering the body through hormone therapy and surgery is the only method of treatment we currently have to keep them from killing themselves, fine. But I think we should keep researching the condition for ways to treat the root cause in their brains, rather than just throw up our hands and pretend they're as normal as anyone else. --- http://steamcommunity.com/id/Esrac <cite>Esrac posted [p:885324088] in Kindergart...
