      @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?

      @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...

      @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 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.

          @v_urq We understand pain behavior but we do not understand the conscious experience of pain. Responding to pain =/ pain itself

          @transphilosophr Consciousness is a phenomenon that is not perfectly understood yet. Are you saying it cannot be and neither can transness?
