I'm overdue on doing this, so I'll try to do it once and for all in here, albeit it won't be perfect, and it'll also be a condensation of arguments without demonstration because selfish. Also this will be from a purely psychological perspective,I'm leaving theology behind for once.
Anyway, here's an exposition of why I find the concept of transgender absurd and incoherent with it's own goals.
Gender
A transgender person is a person who claims that their real gender differs from the gender assigned to their sex.
But for this to be possible, the concept of gender and the concept of sex would need to be separated entirely, and I argue that this is not the case.
The whole problem of the transgender issue can essentially boil down to this : What is gender ? Because there is no real consensus on this word, yet countries are still willing to go as far as to promulgate a ban on any alternative research to cure dysphoria that isn't transition.
There can only be four definitions of the word gender, because the whole of the observable person can still be divided into two parts :
The body
Personnality and behaviour.
These four definitions therefore are :
- Gender is defined by personnality and behaviour, nothing else
- Gender is defined by the body, and nothing else
- Gender is defined by neither body nor personnality
- Gender is defined by both body and personnality
Only one of these definitions make sense, and I'l first going to start by the ones that don't make sense.
Gender is defined by personnality and behaviour, nothing else
This is not officially a very popular definition, but in practice it is what most modern western people base their definition of gender on : How do people or I act and look like, what do they wear, how do they present themselves ?
Under this definition : feminine = woman, masculine = men, and whatever more if you're in a culture that has more than masculine and feminine (dogshit tier cultures btw).
This definition however very quickly reaches multiple problems :
What are the objective universal definitions of masculine and feminine ?
What about masculine women and feminine men ?
Indeed, in a hecking diverse world, the definitions of masculine and feminine vary greatly between cultures, nay within every culture. you won't find a single person who has rhe exact same definition of masculinity and femininity, because men of different parts of the world experience this masculinity in different ways, and so do women their femininity in behaviour and personnality. Certain tomboys would call themselves feminine in their own ways, and be in the complete opposite of what femininity is to others. Matriarchal BBC societies have also had vastly different definitions of femininity than in the west. And if two people have two completely opposite definitions of what it is to be feminine, then you have a problem.
So defining the western modern definition of masculinity and feminity as the absolute objective truth of these words is racist, biggoted and reductive.
Ultimately. this doesn't even matter because this definition just begs the question. Being a women is being feminine, and being feminine is acting however a woman acts.
It is circular reasoning that leads nowhere, because it bases itself upon societal norm that has no measurable universal objectivity to it.
