[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like I said earlier, there are a lot of transphobic posters here. Some of them seem to think it’s not possible to be transgender, and that it’s strictly mental illness. They try to use science to back their views up, and it can get confusing if you’re just learning about the topic. I really have to wonder if these are the same people who think both sides of the climate change debate are well supported by science even though climate change deniers (even the scientists) are outliers. We need better science education in our country. [/quote]

Hmm....

I don't like it when people start accusing others of transphobic and claim the mantle of science at the same time. There's a lot of murkiness surrounding transgender "science" and much of it is now heavily politicized so it's difficult to see where the politics stops and the science begins. If I'm going to trust anyone on the subject, here are two well-regarded Johns Hopkins scientists and researchers and their report on the topic: "The hypothesis that gender identity is an innate, fixed property of human beings that is independent of biological sex — that a person might be “a man trapped in a woman’s body” or “a woman trapped in a man’s body” — is not supported by scientific evidence."

Referring to an earlier post, researchers at Hopkins also found that the suicide rate among transgenders who had gone through the sex-change process was no different than before going through the sex-change process.

When I see your post saying "we need better science education in our country," what you're really saying is "we need to find the "science" to fit my political and culturally driven conclusions." [/quote]
