@Sentient-potato Wishing you were the opposite sex in reality, doesn't make it so.
Believing there is some "essence" specific to males or female as far as feelings go, that can manifest "in the wrong body", is akin to a religious belief, having faith in something that is impossible to prove or disprove. The thing is though, that no one on the "trans" side can actually even explain what this "essence" is, they can't even explain it to themselves yet have convinced themselves that the feeling they have means they "are in the wrong body" - without realizing that their discomfort simply stems from not realizing that they view conforming to sexist stereotypes as legitimate measures of manhood or womanhood.
That is why every explanation given, of WHY a male "can't be a man, but is instead woman" etc. relies upon listing stereotypical stuff, or, in some cases is completely abstract and refuses to actually provide any explanation of what they mean, simply stating they "know" that what they feel means what they say it does, even though they can't actually provide a definition of it. "It's hard to explain but I know I'm right" is an attitude one constantly comes up against - a religious faith in something they can't define.
This idea that the terms "man" and "woman" carry all this baggage, sexist stereotypes, that people need to live up to or feel comfortable with is a complete fabrication coming from the "trans" side.
You want a term to reflect aspects of your personality as well, you want to create more boxes to put people in, as you won't accept simply just being a man or a woman based on being born male or female (and reaching adulthood.
Replacing objective definitions which are based in physical reality, with entirely subjective metaphysical claims, is not logical in any way, is not morally superior, and is demonstrably harmful, not least to female rights and protections, but also to practically anyone who buys into it, as it warps people's perception of the underlying issues.
It hinders people in their quest for individuation, creating this false narrative of them becoming more "authentic" when the total opposite is true, they believe they need validation from others in order to be happy etc. instead of being encouraged to find more inner strength and resilience with less reliance on how people see them. Demanding to be legally recognized as the opposite sex of what one is, is in no way shape or form more authentic than accepting the physical reality one is born into.
To believe we as individuals can have 100% control over our identity in society, what we are seen as by others, in interaction with, and in relation to, society/the world/physical existence is a fool's errand, it is a delusional understanding of reality and existence.

This idea that the terms "man" and "woman" carry all this baggage, sexist stereotypes, that people need to live up to or feel comfortable with is a complete fabrication coming from the "trans" side. You lot want a term to reflect aspects of your personality as well, you want to create more boxes to put people in, as you won't accept simply just being a man or a woman based on being born male or female (and reaching adulthood, obviously people are boys and girls before becoming men or women), but believe you need this "freedom of expression" to broadcast what sexist stereotypes you feel more comfortable with - thinking the world needs to adopt the sexist view you lot have (you fail to see just how much you have in common with Conservatives).

@noritochip_97 As it turns out, there's only 1 kind of woman, and they're ALL born female-- making the use of 'cis', entirely irrelevant and useless. Now you know.
They've gotten it totally wrong on gender. Gender, (there are 2 male, and female) that's it, refers to the sex assigned at birth and the social aspects of being male or female, respectively. Male and female are biological categories which are fixed and permanent.
Then, they conflate gender and personality. Then, they conflate gender and gender roles. Then they conflate gender with sexual preference. Then, they conflate males with females, fact with fiction and men with women.
A woman isn't a personality, a social construct, a feeling, or a costume that a man can just put on or take off-- She's an adult, human, female. As it turns out, there's a prerequisite to being a woman-- and that's being born female. For some reason, they seem unable to process that

@Whateverxo56 All men are born male and all women are born female and neither are social constructs, feelings, fetishes or costumes. Why should a man, regardless of his anxiety about his gender which was established at conception and was observed and documented at his birth, or his desire that reality were different, be treated as anything other than a man??
The inability to cope with things as they are in reality, rather than as you/they wished they were in your/their subjective imaginations, doesn't change reality.
The main problem the trans activist's narratives have is that life is based in objective reality, and most people don't have difficulty deciphering reality from the trans imagination.
What you exist as, is a matter of objective reality, and wishing you were something else doesn't affect that in the slightest. All men are born male, all women are born female and neither are social constructs, feelings, costumes, fetishes or preferences.
That you/they can't accept that, is at the root of the problem w/ GD.
It's the inability to cope with things as they are in reality, rather than as you/they wished things were-- while failing to realize that your imagination doesn't impact the capacity for discernment of the vast majority to decipher reality from the trans imagination.

@GingerBeanie Happy people don't tend to self delete at the rates this demographic do. Just sayin
Why should a subjective, unverifiable gender identity matter at all, in areas designated by biological sex?
There's no hate involved in recognizing that a male in women's clothes is a male in women's clothes. Get Real
The arguments just don't withstand scrutiny, because life is based in objective reality, and the trans imagination just doesn't override people's capacity for discernment.
A man believing he's a woman, doesn't make him one. Take your time to process reality, for a change.

Then, you conflate gender and personality. Then, you conflate gender and gender roles. Then, you conflate gender with sexual preference and fashion. Then, you conflate males with females, fact with fiction and men with women, fact with fiction, and science with science-fiction and pseudo-science.

@maximeminassian6002 Transphobia is nothing but an attempt by trans activists, to use a toothless slur to smear those who challenge the incoherent claims of the trans-activist ideological narrative.
Cis is a term used by trans activists, to pretend that there's another kind of woman, other than those born female, BUT-- there isn't.
There is no h8 involved in recognizing that a man wearing a dress-- is a man. That's just being observant of objective reality.
There is only 1 kind of woman and they're all born female, which makes the use of cis totally irrelevant and useless.
There are people. People are male or female, respectively-- and they've been established historically going back to the beginning of recorded history. Segments of each present with various physical and psych disorders, some with Both.
Gender: There are 2 male/female.
Personality traits and temperament (There are a ton, & none are gender exclusive-- hence effeminate males, butch females and tomboys).
Gender roles All relate to the roles of people in society with respect to being male or female, and they vary from culture to culture, country to country, and society to society-- and they're long established and steeped in tradition.
Quit conflating gender, gender roles, personality, and temperament as though they're synonymous-- They Aren't.

@Mel-wn9gb Yup... The thing is, Gender (there are 2 male and female) refers to the sex assigned at birth and the social aspects of being male or female, respectively-- which cross-culturally are long established.
Too many conflate personality traits and temperament (neither of which are gender exclusive-- hence effeminate males, butch females and tomboys) with gender.
Then, they conflate gender and gender roles. Then, they conflate gender and with s3xu@l preference. Then, they conflate males with females, men with women, science with science-fiction and pseudo-science, and fantasy with reality.
A woman isn't a social construct and she isn't a costume that a man can put on or take off. Women (ALL of them) are born female, making the 'cis' distinction entirely irrelevant and useless.

@ParakeetDSi No, gender/sex is biological and is established at conception and is observed and documented at birth or before. Gender roles are social constructs, which refer to the roles of males and females in society.
Gender:
The status of being either male or female, and because the entire purpose of the gender/sex division in most species of animal life is to facilitate procreation, the sexual identity of an individual is best classified according to the gametes produced by the person in question. There is no extant third gamete.
An extremely minute percentage of humans are either “intersex” (typically referring to those who are anatomical hermaphrodites) or of indeterminate gender (that is, not easily determined by a cursory inspection of the external genitalia), but that does not negate the incontrovertible scientific fact that there are only two genders. As far as we know, there has never existed a single human being with the ability to BOTH conceive a child in his/her womb and, simultaneously, successfully inseminate a woman (or in more disturbing terms, for a hermaphrodite to inseminate him/herself). And even if such an individual has existed, that person would be a combination of BOTH male and female, and not some imaginary, novel third gender.
Cf. “sex”. Both terms (“gender” and “sex”) originate from Latin words: “genus” (meaning “begin”; “birth”; “kind”; “race”; “gender”) and “sexus” (meaning “sex”; “division”; “gender”).
So, essentially, the only significant distinction between the two terms is that the etymology of “gender” pertains to the beginning of things, as can be plainly seen by the other English words that originate from "genus", such as “generic”, “genetic”, and “generate”, whilst “sex” is a scrupulously-literal translation of the Latin cognate “sexus”.
The mere fact that the word “genitals” (referring to reproductive organs) is very closely related to the Latin “genus” is further evidence of the assertion that the term “gender” refers to the binary division of human (and of course, many non-human) sexual identity, and NOT to any taxonomy based on emotion, feelings, psychology, or any other non-biological categorization schema. ;)

@emeraldoregd5479 Don't be obtuse. Yes, they are. The words man and woman refer to the adult stage of human development. All men are born male, all women are born female and the terms man and woman have existed since antiquity.
Do you believe that spaces designated by gender/sex are referring to gender roles? Make it make sense
I Don't care if you want to wear a dress, makeup, heels and a wig, get boob implants, have HRT and have your properly functioning genitalia removed surgically-- Feel free, but still a man.
The justification for separating men and women in prison, showers, locker rooms, changing rooms, and sports teams/leagues seems to be confusing to trans activists. Whats the issue with it???
Justify and explain how eliminating women's private spaces and allowing men to encroach isn't misogyny?
Your personality doesn't change your gender-- hence effeminate males, butch females and tomboys.
You can't change your gender. You can only reject traditional gender roles by engaging in various levels of cosplay and LARPing, or not. You could have a surgeon alter your appearance to look like a Klingon, and it wouldn't make you a Klingon either. A dude with top and bottom surgery and wearing a dress is still a dude.

@emeraldoregd5479 On the other hand, the following should be considered: Kenneth Zucker et Al 2021: 88 percent of trans women desisted after 20 years. 93% resorted to homosexuality vs affirmation treatment with a self delete rate nearly 10x's higher than the general population at nearly 40%, doesn't appear to be validating the 1% 'regret rate' claim-- as accurate (looks like a huge net loss to me, being that gays have a self-delete rate closer to the general population, at around 4% comparatively)-- in NO way justifies claims of affirmation-based treatment protocols as efficacious.
Well, according to the analysis, data and conclusions of the studies I've seen, Happy people aren't overwhelmingly sui~*d@l, and those who are have a psych issue at play.
Swedish study: Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population. Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group.
A 2020 academic study with a sample size of 372 respondents found that 40 percent of transgender people had attempted suicide.
Similarly, in 2016, the National Transgender Discrimination Survey found that 41 percent of 6,450 respondents said they had previously attempted suicide. By comparison, the CDC found that in 2020, 0.36 percent of the population had attempted suicide.
According to a 2022 survey by The Trevor Project, an LGBTQ+ suicide prevention organization, nearly 1 in 5 young people who identified as transgender or non-binary have attempted suicide.
According to a 2019 UCLA School of Law- Williams Institute report on the thoughts and attempts of self deleting-- the Reports shows that The 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey (USTS), which is the largest survey of transgender people in the U.S. to date, found that 81.7 percent of respondents reported ever seriously thinking about suicide in their lifetimes, while 48.3 percent had done so in the past year. In regard to suicide attempts, 40.4 percent reported attempting suicide at some point in their lifetimes.
Although the research literature to date agrees that transgender people are at an elevated risk of suicide thoughts and attempts, there is still much to learn about why transgender people are particularly at risk.
Also, the conclusion of the Swedish study, which concluded that persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity-- than the general population.
The findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group.
When the rate of self deletes among the general population is 10x's lower, and when studies showing that up to 90% desist and end up gay, with only a 4% self delete rate by contrast, the results of affirmation-based treatment protocols are horrible by contrast, making it's justification questionable at best.
Dr. Miriam Grossman, MD delivers a good dose of truth, regarding so-called "gender-affirming care" during a recent U.S. House Committee hearing. She speaks clearly, as a medical professional and debunks the notion that sex is "assigned at birth", clarifying that it's established at conception, and observed and documented at birth, or before.
Dr. Grossman is board certified in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry. The author of five books, her work has been translated into eleven languages. "Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist's Guide Out of the Madness" is her most recent book that explains the widespread devastation caused by transgenderism.
Her medical practice focuses on gender-distressed young people and their parents. She believes that every child is born in the right body. Dr Grossman has been vocal about the capture of her profession by ideologues, leading to dangerous and experimental treatments on children and betrayal of parents. She has testified in Congress and lectured at the British House of Lords and the United Nations.

@emeraldoregd5479 Also, Bottom line men cannot become women and women cannot become men.
Suicidality Among Transgender Youth: Elucidating the Role of Interpersonal Risk Factors: "Data indicate that 82% of transgender individuals have considered killing themselves and 40% have attempted suicide, with suicidality highest among transgender youth. Using minority stress theory and the interpersonal theory of suicide, this study aims to better understand suicide risk among transgender youth. The present study examines the influence of intervenable risk factors: interpersonal and environmental microaggressions, internalized self-stigma, and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and protective factors: school belonging, family support, and peer support on both lifetime suicide attempts and past 6-month suicidality in a sample of transgender youth (n = 372). SPSS 22 was utilized to examine the impact of the independent variables on both suicidality and lifetime suicide attempt through two separate logistic regressions. Fifty six percent of youth reported a previous suicide attempt and 86% reported suicidality. Logistic regressions indicated that models for both lifetime suicide attempts and suicidality were significant."
Long-term follow-up of transsexual persons undergoing sex reassignment surgery: cohort study in Sweden
“Conclusions: Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population. Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group.”
THAT is what I would consider an issue, and if you do not-- then you do you, while failing to realize that the supposedly efficacious claims, of affirmation-based treatment protocol advocates are entirely unjustified.

@Bnoymoder There is no internal feeling that is exclusive to men or women (or boys/girls), what makes anyone a man or a woman is being either male or female and reaching adulthood. Their sex and stage of physical maturity makes them men or women, not some "feeling" they have.
Believing there is some "essence" specific to males or female as far as feelings go, that can manifest "in the wrong body", is akin to a religious belief, having faith in something that is impossible to prove or disprove. The thing is though, that no one on the "trans" side can actually even explain what this "essence" is, they can't even explain it to themselves yet have convinced themselves that the feeling they have means they "are in the wrong body" - without realising that their discomfort simply stems from not realising that they view conforming to sexist stereotypes as legitimate measures of manhood or womanhood.
