And it's at best an oversimplification and at worst an active and damaging lie The whole thing where pop culture "clones" are exact xerox duplicates When in real life identical twins often don't even really look the same

Like, it's not uncommon to meet twins where one of them is taller than the other, or heavier, or has different hair or skin, especially as they get older (and are no longer living in the same house with the same environment)

And, like, both twins "really" look like that, they're both the way they "really" should be, there's not some Ideal Human "encoded into their genes" that's the way they "should" look under "ideal conditions" That's not a real concept, that's Nazi shit

I find it interesting to note who is talking about 'ideal' humans and what appearance people 'should' have. The relevant term is 'would' have... Moreover, I don't recall saying TW 'shouldn't' transition, merely that underlying biology remains unchanged.

What are you talking about, I just argued *against* the basic idea of twin studies (treating twins like they really are two identical "instances" of one genome)

No, I said if you meet two identical twins you can often look at them and see they look different You know, in a social environment, outside a lab, like people do

Anyway I don't think David Reimer's gender actually changed but that's because I think gender isn't determined by whether you have a penis It seems like the people who argue that it is are the ones with the problem

No. Penis/no penis represents sex, not gender.

Okay so you're the one who says having a penis or not determines your "sex", the question of whether David Reimer's sex changed is your problem not mine
