      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?

      Replying to @e_urq

      @v_urq If you casually asked a random person, "What is your gender?" there is a very small chance they'd be lying - take it at face value

      @transphilosophr Certainly, as a practical matter. But as a philosophical one- is gender id something one can lie or be mistaken about?

      @v_urq Philosophically I suppose it's possible that someone could lie or make an error - but how is that relevant to practical reality?

      @transphilosophr Well, for example, if I believed that being trans was a matter of my beliefs and feelings and had no outside existence...

          @transphilosophr ...I would seek conversion therapy.

          @v_urq I don't like where this conversation is heading. Your implication is that trans people are delusional and shouldn't transition

          @v_urq My belief that I am in pain right now "has no outside existence" - is that belief false or delusional? No. Why is gender different?

          @transphilosophr Pain is something we understand as a physical/biological process. I want the same for the trans phenomenon.
