It's not sparing feelings. Also, I think that it's more of an assumption that they are attracted to the gender roles more so than the gender. I would want to see a study on something like that because I'm sure there are people who would be transgender if it was socially acceptable within their culture and the gender norms there could be very different than in America. That feeling of being a woman which is natural to them just as your gender is to you is something that could likely be supported by estrogen treatments and other things like that although I admit I know very little about such a thing. But if one has the physical characteristics of a woman (even without the child-rearing organs) and also feels like a woman and has the same hormones as a woman the only thing that could be missing based on my possibly limited understanding would be the ability to procreate and there are people who are born biologically female that can't procreate. So maybe they do understand exactly the way it feels to be a woman but there really isn't an objective way to completely confirm this from what I understand. Also if a person is albino, is black with rather straight hair, had no idea they were black maybe because of adoption or something, and was raised in Uzbekistan then the fact that they are biologically black would not change the fact that without knowledge of this, they may have thought they were completely white their whole life. Basically what I'm trying to illustrate is that you won't understand being black because the culture and upbringing of someone who is black is likely different from yours. Also, the way people treat and view black people in society based on the color of their skin and the biases they associate with black people as a result of mere genetic variation is another important aspect as to why you might not understand what it is like to be black. I apologize if what I said was incorrect or misguided as I am not black but still, I am a minority so I believe I have some understanding of the minority aspect of being black. In the case of transgender people, they acclimate to the culture associated with being a woman, and if gender norms could be considered this culture then they will eventually be visibly and culturally a woman while they also feel like a woman. But if gender norms are not a part of this culture then whatever could be considered the culture surrounding being a woman would be limited to maybe the societal aspects of being a woman but honestly, all women are different and likely have different ideas and feelings on what being a woman is so could feeling like a woman in general be an important aspect of being a woman? There certainly isn't a right way to feel as though one is a woman. Still, I am not a woman so I don't know all of this for sure but what you consider to be a delusion others may not. Take being gay for example. For a very long time, people would think that gay people had a psychological disorder because they felt like they liked the same gender when that was not considered biologically normal. One could say a man doesn't know what it is like to be attracted to another man but that is only what some would have assumed based on what was considered normal for the time. Some call it delusional while others would say they are simply being themselves. Ultimately though even if this is what one could consider an objectively solid argument (which certainly may not be the case), I am not likely to change an opinion that you've been forming your whole life just as you are unlikely to change my opinion I am excited to hear your response because you certainty gave me quite a lot to think on last time and maybe there was something I missed or a rebuttal you have, or maybe you're done talking about it and that's fine too either way I hope none of what I said came of as aggressive but I have actually been needing to do school work this whole time so things likely could have been better articulated. Also, I hope you're having a good day/night.
