Nta but is the bodymap not obvious.....? It's definitely self evident if you've experienced it.
Did trans people exist before the word for them was coined?
the power of Jesus is self evident
haven't you felt Him inside you?
ask for proof
given proof
"yeah but explain how you know this"
Are you completely braindead, idiot?
the concept of a body map is a Chinese mysticism ESP thingy.
its not really proof its just you repeating BODY MAP and throwing links up at me without actually explaining the details of the body map yourself
Your “proof” is some no-name “scientist” who posted some paper that you just skim over to use as propaganda to get people to believe that you are a real “woman” when we all know that you are not. You are trying to find a way to make 1 + 1 = 3 and it is not working. In a couple of years, you will “find” some new paper that says something else that you will use to once again try to get people to see that you are a woman and it is always focused on trans girls the paper will always use trans girls as the template because that is how propaganda works. You are not and will never be a woman but have fun with the paper reading lmao
OK fucktard
NTA but how else would you explain the phantom limb sensation that amputees and transgender people experience?
Wikipedia extract on it: en.wikipedia.org
In phantom limb syndrome, there is sensory input indicating pain from a part of the body that is no longer existent. This phenomenon is still not fully understood, but it is hypothesized that it is caused by activation of the somatosensory cortex.[9] One theory is it may be related to central sensitization, which is a common experience among amputees. Central sensitization is when there are changes in the responsiveness of the neurons in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, which deals with processing somatosensory information, due to increased activity from the peripheral nociceptors. Peripheral nociceptors are sensory neurons that alert us to potentially damaging stimuli.
There are theories that the phantom limb phenomenon may relate to reorganization of the somatosensory cortex after the limb is removed. When the body receives tactile input near the residual limb, the brain is convinced that the sensory input was received from the amputated limb because another brain region took over. Reorganization has been thought to be related to sensory-discriminative parts of pain as well as the affective-emotional parts of it (I.e., insula, the anterior cingulate cortex, and the frontal cortices)

From the same Wikipedia, it talks about some limited experimentation on it:
Pons and colleagues (1991) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) showed that the primary somatosensory cortex in macaque monkeys undergoes substantial reorganization after the loss of sensory input.
Hearing about these results, V. S. Ramachandran hypothesized that phantom limb sensations in humans could be due to reorganization in the human brain's somatosensory cortex. Ramachandran and colleagues illustrated this hypothesis by showing that stroking different parts of the face led to perceptions of being touched on different parts of the missing limb. Later brain scans of amputees showed the same kind of cortical reorganization that Pons had observed in monkeys.

They aren't looking for an explanation, as was just made clear, they have an opinion and they want you to confirm it. Your information is contrary to their opinion so they don't like it.
