I was referring to studies that show that a mtf brain is objectively not the same as a woman's brain, as well as the study that showed (again, small sample size) that schizophrenia medication completely eliminates a person's desire to transition. I also alluded to the 40% suicide rate, of which there are many studies, and which still stays an order of magnitude above the national average even if only looking at "passing" individuals.

As for her lived experiences, her telling me that she is a woman because she says so contradicts the evidence. Her personal experience having a good tradition is also not evidence that the 40% suicide rate would go away if we all just "accepted it" and it certainly doesn't turn valid science into flat earth nonsense.

I remember that study about the schizophrenia medicine, and it wasn't even using actual trans patients. It was some whack job that got a confused patient, misidentified the problem, and then 'cured' it.

Oh, I don't remember actually arguing the point of being specifically a woman to you. I legally and socially am a woman, and I don't need internet validation to give me warm and fuzzies.

Now try to get me a study that tests how trans people do in a scenario where they aren't treated like shit, and get back to me. All your evidence points to is that at least 40% of trans women live in situations that are pretty awful at points.
