The problem with the trans brain sex theory is it's based on a small number of studies that haven't been replicated w/ small sample sizes

@transphilosophr Absolutely true. The transgender phenomenon may or may not have a pre-natal underpinning. The question is open.

@transphilosophr So, as a philosopher, you prefer what I think of as "the identity tautology"?

@v_urq What do you mean by the "identity tautology"?

@transphilosophr I am a man because I say I am a man. There is no objective reality, only language which we redefine at will.

@v_urq No - I think the phenomenon of gender identity is much more complicated than "I verbalized it therefore it's true"

@transphilosophr I'm glad. This "identity" concept seems so slippery to me. Can someone lie about their identity? Can they be mistaken?
