I promise I am not a reactionary, but I am somewhat uneducated on the subject so I might say something offensive accidentally, sorry in advance about that.

So, does gender dysphoria stem from a disconnect between the body and some “gender socialization” function of the brain, which could be solved by getting socialized and treated by everyone as the correct gender from the start, or something that stems from a disconnect between the brain and the actual body parts and hormones, so the transition is needed to alleviate that, or both?

    i just noticed i got a little emotional here, and i kinda doubled down after being proven wrong. and i might have said some really stupid things (that i should know are untrue) that also straight up conflict with my own experience on hrt… and i’m sorry. i really shouldn’t have said most to all of what i said, and i do realize that i sounded quite stupid here. i will try to be more reasonable in the future, but i said that to myself before. but well, here we are.

        I don’t think it’s a waste of time, there’s a lot of good, insightful replies ITT and maybe it helps some people understand. Lack of understanding is what’s hurting us the most.
