Is there a gender difference in the belief that trans women are women? Do you believe trans women are women? Why?

Whatever the gender you were assigned (male or female) at birth is the only gender that is applicable.

Now, if you don't feel comfortable in your skin for whatever reason and you want to change your gender, this is solely your business but you are tampering with nature.

If a person was a boy at birth and suddenly believes he should change his gender because he does not feel comfortable being a boy, that still makes him a boy throughout his life, despite all the surgeries performed to change that state.

Now, if a baby is born pseudohermaphrodist, that complicates the issue a little. However this condition is so rare that it cannot be compared with those that have the wish to change their gender once it was assigned at birth.

Very detailed answer thank you. I'd appreciate if you answer my other question on this topic. Thank you

[SueShe]

Thanks for the MHO

[True_Sage]

You're welcome. I know I teased you just a little somewhere else, but you still wrote a good answer :) thanks good night

[SueShe]

Good night to you. I am already up!

The fact this is even a discussion is a bit concerning. It's like asking if a tree is really made out of wood because there are plastic trees sold in stores.

[True_Sage]

Lol. Funniest comment yet.

Thank you for the MHO ❤

Trans-women are not women, that's the reason for "trans" prefix.
They weren't born into female bodies and don't have female reproductive organs, bone or brain structure, or normal female hormones. They don't menstruate. They don't have functioning vaginas.

What they are is men in female-looking costumes created by pharmaceuticals and plastic surgery. I understand if they genuinely suffer from gender dysphoria. I have a couple of friends who suffer from gender dysphoria and transitioned in adulthood. They're good people and just want to live their lives. But I think that some people these days, ever since alt-sexuality became popularized and promoted, may just be confused, mentally ill, or into self mutilation.

Thanks for the detailed answer. Though id say the simulation genitals have a little bit of function. It's missing most of the abilities, but probably could get people off.

I believe there are two sexes. Variants of the two yes, but still only 2.

Personally I will always considered any transgendered individual to be, and will always be the gender they were born.

So to answer your question, any transwoman will be, and will always be a male.

The most I'm willing to give is that they become a new sub category of trans man or women but nit standalone women or man

[joeldalton]

They’re men.

[Dchrls78104]

"Trans women" are not women (and "trans men" are not men); they're abominations.

If they've had the penis removed, they're female

I use to think that transwomen were women, but I changed my mind after befriending a trans woman. She dressed in female clothing, took hormones and practiced changing her voice, but despite I realized that she “thinks” like a man, if it makes sense. She couldn’t relate to our struggles either, which is understandable. I think that trans women should be in their own category as trans women.

[True_Sage]

Makes sense with me. I don't know tons of them closely, but the two I did seemed to think like men. And of course there's lots of shared social experiences they would not be able to understand. Own category or recognizing their biological sex both seem fair to me. So I don't criticize either side much unless someone goes way over the line...
