re: Shouldn’t transies surgically alter their brains instead of their genitals?

In most cases, people who suffer from actual diagnosed gender dysphoria have distinct, measurable differences in brain activity versus cisgender (normal) people.
I love how the same liberals who argue there are no cognitive or personality differences between men and women and everyone is completely the same are the same ones who argue that a man who thinks he is a woman has a TOTALLY different type of brain. Never change liberals.

Instead, The Agenda means Counseling = ILLEGAL.
This is the REAL Scandal.
BEFORE lopping off the body parts of teens/young confused people willy-nilly:
1) COUNSELING
2) CORRECTIVE Hormone Therapy (IN THE ORIGINAL GENDER -- NOT to help facilitate the dysphoria of the "other" gender )
3) STOP the official virtue-signaling, state-mandated coercion and cheer-leading of mutilation and evil -- in the name of creating socio-political tools and Franken-Science guinea pigs.

You will not find it.
IMO, the question is “what is the extent of the overlap?“
This is simply the only graphic that I found which compared a large overlap versus small. The words “poor“ and “good“ or not really relevant here.

Sadly it s NOT "pipe dream." It's a Frankensteinian reality that will actually turn willing vain guinea pigs into zombies AND allow to their AI "masters" to actually hack brains.
Certain EMFs (emitted from LED lights) can already affect/ control thoughts to a degree.

Unfortunately, medical science at this point in time simply does not provide a “perfect“ solution for these folks.
"Not perfect" is an understatement. At ANY point in time.
This issue again is a mostly socio-psychological figment and issue.
For the vast overwhelming majority, neither Gender Dysmorphia OR Gender Dysphoria shuld rely on "medical science" issue for "solutions."
quote:
We are left with trying to find the least-bad means by which to allow them to have a reasonably-normal life.
I agree.
And because this mostly a psychological problem it means THE go-to solution for 95% of these temporarily confused young people is indeed "Conversion Therapy," Counseling, OR in other cases, Hormone Therapy (i the original biological gender). NOT SURGERY.
Moreover there are then The Guilty who are merely acting in support of an obvious agenda; the parents, teachers, medical" authorities, and pro-LGQT propagandists who encourage AND facilitate AND PUSH psychologically defenseless young people into taking the illogical "solution" -- for what is temporary dysphoria and delusion. THEIR "solution" is in surgically maiming them for life.
THIS is the true "Villainy." (So for your part, you wound up half-right.) BUT... why also totally dismiss and ignore the Counseling solution?

The only way it would get fda approval or if a person would willingly put this in their brain or if insurance would cover it would be a scenario where we fully understand all the neuro networks, and trust me we aren’t close

It sure seems that there are a lot more unhappy people nowadays than there used to be. Maybe people were just better actors, but it seems like there are a lot of dysfunctional trends that people engage in that aren't conducive to a happy life.
Humans were never meant to sit indoors all day, looking at screens, and eating junk food. The internet and this modern lifestyle is corrupting minds and bodies. I'm not trying to come across as some old fuddy duddy, but it seems like too much of a coincidence that a lot of this started with 2nd wave feminism, latch-key kids, divorce rates, fearmongering about everything on the news, etc.
People are really fricked up, and it's because they lack traditional role models and the benefits those role models offered. Anyway, back to my old man cave.

If the brain is born female you can’t turn it into a male brain. Genetics determine these things

This right here is why it has exploded.
Hollyweird and social media influencers driving coolness into the minds of children.
Contributing to the psychosis of a minor.

This is getting into nature vs nurture, and it seems that the trend is to dismiss nurture as a causation; when, it seems to be the predominant factor in the uptick of transgenderism and body dysmorphia.

I just realized that trans meant transsexual, not transvestite.

quote:Listened. That was an interesting observation. As a woman, she was obviously completely surprised that a "testosterone person" will separate cognition from emotion. Her description of HERSELF was funny, because it was still so typically-female. She basically said that thinking that way made her a "complete a-hole."
Said something like, "there was suddenly this rational part of me and it was completely separate from my emotions."
Never occurred to me that women didn't experience that at all, and would find it surprising
Honestly, I would not recommend anyone else spending an hour on the podcast, if you are wanting to learn something objective. It was basically just this woman's personal anecdotes. OTOH, if you LIKE anecdotes, it has a good number of them.
The biggest takeaway is her observation that the medical professionals she saw did not really attempt any sort of objective diagnosis, but rather just said "Hell, give this a try." That is consistent with what I said above about the "villains" who just go to "transition" as a default setting.
Thanks for posting the link.

Don’t start crawfishing now. All we have heard from people like you is there are no real differences and the reason we don’t have more female engineers or programmers is purely because of socialization variables. Heck, Damore was fired from Google for this. You are such a liar putting in some made up graph. The cognitive research is clear there are many at least medium size gender effects and these are all more pronounced at the tails of the distribution….where the smartest people are. You obviously aren’t one of them.

quote:Not very well-written, but I generally agree with you that there are definitely differences between the mean of each sex and that each sex (speaking generally) has different strengths. The "tails" that you reference are where those distinctions tend to blur in many areas.

The tails are not where the distinctions “blur” they are where they are most pronounced. Closer to the mean is where there is most overlap. You are a fricking moron who has no understanding of basic Gaussian statistics.
