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

@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 yearsThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@v_urq Um...no.There is no such thing as a "pain-meter" - we cannot empirically detect pain with a scientific instrument - we rely on report -
@transphilosophr Eh, oversimplification. We know (roughly) how the nervous system works, and animal brains/bodies respond to "pain" stimuli.
