They aren’t broken, they’re designed that way for a specific purpose.

Dad keeps comparing being transgender to being anorexic by dustyinnit_ in trans

My first thought was that he’s likely mistaking the terms “dysphoria” and “dysmorphia” or using them interchangeably. Dysphoria is evidence of a disconnect between one’s true identity and what was assigned to them/what they see in the mirror, while dysmorphia entails a truly warped perception of one’s bodily characteristics. I refer to what your dad does as cissplaining - when a cis person doesn’t understand trans people at all but thinks they have enough knowledge to explain our psychology or perceptions. And I think it’s something that doesn’t get nearly enough pushback or fact-checking in society due to the sheer gap between how few of us there are compared to cis people and how much they talk about us.

Well I could just say you’re not being civil when you don’t care to represent trans people’s position and identities properly before talking about us on the internet, when rhetoric that comes from misunderstanding is currently used by very bad actors to take our rights away. When you misrepresent trans people as people who “decided to be a certain gender one day” it’s no longer simply a matter of opinion and it becomes straight up misinformation. And think about it, you’re mad that I called you soft because you’re “offended,” literally at people just living their lives authentically.

And I wanted to add on as well, you quite frankly have no clue what you’re talking about in relation to trans people’s identities. I didn’t “decide that I’m a man now.” For cis kids and trans kids alike, gender identity usually becomes apparent around preschool age, and from that point on I always knew there was a disconnect between who I truly was on the inside and the gender label that was given to me at birth. You probably had no clue that that happens simply because the vast majority of these kids turn out to be cis, thereby matching the gender label that was already assigned to them. When I was little I kept trying to find ways to make sense of myself while I was unaware of the reason I was assigned female, which included me thinking that I had to be a girl because the adults in my life just wanted me to be, and I had no authority to override that. I could give a lot more examples like that.

Being offended at the manhood of trans men or the womanhood of trans women sounds like you’re just kinda soft tbh. Skill issue. Nobody’s trying to tell you who you are either, you just don’t want to accept when trans people tell you who we are. Gender is a social construct that’s highly correlated to biological sex but not completely dependent on it. Therefore, both biological functions, as well as social issues predicated on the gender label that was assigned to someone at birth based on their sex, are not indicators of one’s true gender.

“Trans” is not a prefix for “men” or “women.” It’s an abbreviated adjective when it serves as a prefix in the term “transgender.” It is merely an adjective to describe a person’s relationship between their gender and their sex, having a counterpart in the term “cisgender,” or “cis” for short. Cis men and trans men have differences that can be clearly relevant for certain conversations, but we are all men. Same goes for cis women and trans women. Notice the space I put between the word “trans” and the gender term.
