    Coming out as transgender was scary at first for Kaysen Ford, he tells his mom. "But it's way happier this way. Trust me."https://n.pr/2yCDoOi

        Social influence imprinted the “bad feeling”. Alternative reality to coddle a psyche is a good extinction technique, when it can’t adpt to stressful situations.

        It should be scary to have mental illness and know it.

        https://www.psychiatry.org/File%20Library/Psychiatrists/Practice/DSM/APA_DSM-5-Gender-Dysphoria.pdf … The stance by the American Psychiatric Association is that gender non-conformity (aka being transgender) is not in itself a mental illness. Seems there is enough scientific research to where it’s not classified as a mental disorder in a diagnosis book.

        Science also dictates that when a transgender woman submits to a DNA test, the sex is male. Facts don't care about your feelings. It is a mental illness.

        Sex and gender are different. Even biological sex isn’t as cut and dry as people would like to believe. There are people who are intersex and have chromosomal abnormalities, one of which is that you can be physically female and have XY chromosomes (Swyer Syndrome).

        There are only two genders. Anything else is an abnormality like you mentioned. Two genders. Sex and and gender is exactly the same. Science....

        Psychology recognizes a difference between sex and gender and psychiatry used these psychological principles as well. Last time I checked, there is no gene that tells people how to act or dress...since your so sure. Care to cite some sources since it’s so obvious?

        There are chromosomes that determine male or female. Only two genders.

        I just just told you about a condition where a male so XY is physically a girl. Those people don’t know they are XY until they don’t go through puberty, and are raised as a girl and identity as a girl. XY doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with how that girl behaves.
