And? Arguing that a "trans woman" has a "female" brain is self-defeating, since trans women are biologically male.
Chud with a question
I'm not sure because I'm speculating on technology, but I'm sure nobody 200 years ago would've foreseen our hormone technology.
It's not philosophy. The brain is an organ just like any other in the body. And in trans people, this is a gross simplification, but you can think of it as an intersex disorder of the brain.
It absolutely is philosophy. Science can only say a person's brain exhibits characteristics often found in another category of people's brains. It can't say what that implies about them.
no they aren't? Biology is reality, no? Like you dont call someone with diabetes biological dead, since they are in fact alive (but should be dead according to genetics)
Since trans women have a female cell expression (because of HRT) the reality makes their body biological female.
Yes yes a lot have a penis which is a distinct male organ. but post ops exist
Biology is defined by actual expressed sexual characteristiks , so a post op with years hrt is bio female
Since trans women have a female cell expression (because of HRT) the reality makes their body biological female.
Do they have the potential to bear children?
What exactly does it mean to be "neurologically trans"?
the scientific consensus is that gender identity is biologically innate. Trans people have distinctive features in the sex center of the brain as well as areas related to self awareness of ones body. There are a number of features of the brain such as the INAH3, BSTc, putamin, hypothalamus, and corpus callosum, which have been found to either be sexually intermediate, closer to the experienced gender, or otherwise abnormal in ways that are statistically consistent among trans people. Whether or not you think that overall trans women have "female brains", there are enough specific neurological features that you can say that the "transgender brain" absolutely does exist.
On the other hand, there isn't even a concept of a transracial brain, because the racial differences in the brain are mostly limited to small differences in overall size. A person of a race with a statistically larger brain does not have a transracial experience due to having a brain that is technically closer to the average size of a different race, but it is clear that trans people do in fact have a different experience of themselves due to the characteristics of their brain.
If we could magically change race, you could suggest that people are transracial, and that's fine. But they're only transracial in behavior, specifically because they transitioned. A transgender person is inherently transgender regardless of their actions.
I'll grant you the fact that so-called "trans women" are neurologically more feminine than a "transracial" person is neurologically alike to their desired race. I don't think that actually has bearing on if their identity is valid or not.
According to current scientific theory yes.
They lack the womb, but it is theorised that they could bear a child (with a donor).
It is infact expected that this will happen in the next 10 years. But since it hasnt been done yet its only a theory
Why is there not a test I can take to determine if I am trans or not?
