      @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?

      @v_urq I'm saying consciousness is an unbovservabe yet very real psychological phenomenon that can be operationalized. Same for gender ID

      @transphilosophr I don't necessarily believe that anything is unobservable. By me on the street, sure. But not inherently so.

          @v_urq Quarks cannot be directly observed. We see their effects in bubble chambers but we cannot directly observe a quark

          @transphilosophr Well, then, light cannot be directly observed. We see effects on the rods/cones of our eyes but cannot directly observe it.
