I'm definitely not on the side that anyone who is skeptical of any idea progressives come up with is a bigot.
That said, there's a couple important considerations when talking about this transgender thing. The first is that objectively speaking, saying you are a woman trapped in a man's body is almost exactly the same as saying you are Napoleon in DoOrDoNots body or Jesus Christ in legend42s body. In other words, just at face value it rings of a delusion.
The second thing is that this precludes that
1. men and women have vastly different brains (which is something feminists dismiss)
2. it's possible for a womans brain to end up in a mans body from a biological view or vice versa and and that this hypothesis is even disprovable from a scientific point of view
3. the agent in question could tell the difference between themselves having a mans brain in a womans body and acute symptoms of psychosis and
4. Gender is a social construct
Now 4 can be discounted quite easily because male and female identity is correlated in the extreme to biological sex as I said before-0.95
As for the other ones, don't you think it's important to ****ing prove this ****, before you trample all over everyone for being skeptical of it, or force by law little girls to change in the same change-rooms as grown-ass dudes who identify as female? Or giving children hormones a decade or more before their brains are even capable of critical thought? Doesn't that seem....rash and irresponsible not to?
