I noticed there are numerous users who are open about being transgender. I've been researching "transgenderism" and I ran into a wall when I heard about "Gender Transition". It's very illogical to me. I don't understand it well. It seems impossible to accomplish. So if anyone currently in a "Gender Transition" can help explain it, I'd really appreciate it.
For someone to change their gender. Do they just change their clothes, hair, and status? I wouldn't understand how any of those things could determine whether they're male or female. Are there certain procedures that can change their anatomy to physically make them the opposite gender?
Some users in chat mentioned they were doing "Gender Therapy". Which is basically blocking or giving oneself large quantities of estrogen or testosterone, right? I’m very aware that testosterone is produced in a female’s ovaries and a male’s testicles. Where estrogen is produced in a female’s ovaries and a male’s testis. So I wouldn’t know how adding or removing either hormone would change one’s gender. A woman who receives a high dose of testosterone will just end up being a woman with high testosterone. A man who receives a high dose of estrogen would just end up being a male with high estrogen, and vice versa.
I also heard of surgeries people go through in their "Gender Transition". Emasculation is when surgeons cut off a male's genitals. Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is when surgeons cut off a female's genitals. I don't understand how removing reproductive organs would change one's gender. By the looks of it, they've just destroyed the entire purpose of their penis or vagina, right? And not to mention all the health problems from that disgusting gash they'll never be able to heal. There are other surgeries in "transitioning," which consist more of adding artificial supplements to your body and whatnot. It's just wrong to remove body parts if they aren't causing any harm.
DNA was also mentioned in "Gender Transition".
DNA consists of chromosomes. Chromosomes can usually determine what gender you are. Females normally have XX chromosomes, whereas males have XY chromosomes. And I read that it's impossible to change human DNA. There were around 400 confirmed cases of hermaphrodites (intersexuals) due to birth defects. Which isn't much. So there's that for an excuse.
From everything I read, "Gender Transition" consists more of the individual's mindset and sentiments than physically changing their gender.
It's more of a mental transition than a physical transition. Some go to the extreme and try a physical transition with hormones and surgeries. It really wouldn't be considered that much of a "Gender Transition" though. More like a "Gender Stagnation" than anything else.
So it's impossible to actually change someone's gender. Do transgenders just identify as the opposite gender just because they feel like it?
Is that all it is? Playing dress-up, toying with your body, changing your status on social media, asking or demanding ACCEPTANCE?!?!
Please explain "Gender Transition" and "Transgenderism". Please correct me if I'm wrong. It'll be much appreciated. Thanks.
