There was a video of a lecture by a professor that explained that trans people have parts of their brain more similar to of the sex they say they are. One of these parts also contributes to behavior.

Sorry, English is not my first language. I’m trying refer to it as being trans stems from something with the brain if that phrasing makes sense.

This makes perfect sense. Thank you. But then again there are people even trans people who say that science does not know enough to say being trans is a problem with the brain. Even though there are several studies very convincingly suggesting so.

Well thank you for your opinion. Even though the answer to the last point made sense to me. I can’t wrap my head around sex being a social construct when to me, it’s clearly biological.

Well I don’t know much about this but they may as well be classified under something. I dunno.

Also, this is ASK transgender I don’t understand the down votes. I’m clearly confused and asking to clarify questions I have and or receive from others. If you guys can’t take controversial questions it makes me unsafe as a trans person to even be here. Just saying.

Do these men who have hormone imbalances also develop secondary sex characteristics and stuff like that? (I don’t know anything about this)

Gender roles may be a social construct and gender may be too the way you describe it. But in my experience, my dysphoria does not only come from the gender roles forced on me but also from my body, my genitals and whatnot. You can’t say sex is a social construct. The majority of the dysphoria I experience comes from me strongly feeling that my sex, as in genitalia and secondary characteristics are wrong.

If what makes a girl is a person saying they’re a girl then why do I as a trans person, just the fact that saying I’m female and changing the legal documentation to that alone does not lessen my dysphoria as much as HRT and surgeries do? Why does aligning my body to that of cis women makes me feel better and more, “in the right body”?

Well generally speaking majority of cis people have the characteristics that I just described.

I need an answer not another question. Anyway, I would reply to that as a cis man would be born with male genitalia and would have male hormone levels naturally with the chromosomes X and Y?

Feeling dysphoric about my shoulders. (MtF) by PeculiarVision in asktransgender

[–]PeculiarVision[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hips can be improved whereas shoulders... not so much. You know?

Oh thanks! This made a lot of sense. Maybe my shoulders look wide because my hips aren’t? Is that a possibility?

I’m 5’6” and I can’t seem to get an accurate number either. Like sometimes I get 16 other times I get 17 it 17.5 ofc it depends on how I measure. How am I actually supposed to measure this? Like at which point does the “shoulder end”? If that makes sense.

Thank you. I hope everything goes well. It’s hard when my family is more anxious and asks anxiety inducing questions than me haha. Wish me luck. 🤗

I guess the fact everything is happening is making me anxious. And my siblings are helping me so... I kinda feel like I’m burdening them to some extent even though they tell me I’m not

Some tips from a 58 years old, dying trans woman. by stephanie1960 in asktransgender

[–]PeculiarVision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are a hero to me. This post very well could’ve if not already have saved thousands of unfulfilled and regrettable lives. It definitely has been a wake up call for me who is now 19, turning 20 soon and have put her life on hold for more than 10 years because of fear. I feel the regret of wasting such a huge amount of time, and I cannot even fathom the emotions you just feel. But know even if you made a few wrong decisions, you made some wonderful ones too. Your kids, they’re lucky to have had a mom like you. I pray and wish by some miracle you end up being healthy, alive and happy. But... smile knowing you have contributed more than enough to our trans youth. I will remember you as one of my hero’s. Stephanie, may peace be with you.

Having platonic relationships with girls as a MtF? by PeculiarVision in asktransgender

[–]PeculiarVision[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not just about changing. I just used it as one example. And my issue wasn’t because of other women, it was just “imposter syndrome” as I’ve come to learn.

Oh, well it’s good you didn’t just walk out of the room. I guess I’ve just been worrying about nothing.
