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

@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.

@transphilosophr I believe it is something that can be understood and quantified. Like everything in the natural world.

@v_urq Transness is a natural phenomenon. It has existed in many cultures across the world for thousands of years

@v_urq Do we really understand the neurological foundation of the phenomenal experience of pain? No we do not. Consciousness is a mysteryThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@v_urq Give it time. Just because we dont understand the neurological foundation of transness today doesn't mean we won't 100 years from now -
@transphilosophr Yeah- that's basically where I am with the question. I thought you were arguing something different, and I was curious.
