Gender identity is hugely influenced by the brain-body dialogue. Can one really know their gender identity until the hormones of puberty initiate substantial re-writing of the brain? One thing to say you are in the wrong body as adult. Quite another to say it as a child.

Just clarifying. You are the medical expert,but we understood there were no changes in the pubertal brain to lead to being in the wrong body. To non-heterosexuality, yes,but not being in the wrong body.We’re fighting this current adolescent hysteria.

If gender is the socially prescription of the biological (as I read that reader for kids) why does it follow that if you dont conform to the social prescription of your biology that you should change your body ?Shouldn't we be challenging the social prescription instead?

It’s really interesting how strong a dualistic notion of ourselves we have. We might deny it- and we might say we believe in science now- but at times the mask slips and we reveal ourselves as dualists! Fascinating (and of course dangerous- like many false ideas)

It’s so interesting to see the mixed messages in the material above. On the one hand, there’s the idea that you might not conform to society’s expectations of men/women
. On the other hand, if that’s the case, you’re encouraged to believe that your body is wrong, not society

We all must come to a balance with our mind and body. Neither exists without the other.
