LinkFirst of all lets talk about Biological S*x. People often say there's only 2 chromosomes (xx and xy) and men have xy and women have xx. This is false.
There are more than 2 s*x chromosomes
The Six Most Common Karyotypes
X – Roughly 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 5,000 people (Turner's )
XX – Most common form of female.
XXY – Roughly 1 in 500 to 1 in 1,000 people (Klinefelter)
XY – Most common form of male.
XYY – Roughly 1 out of 1,000 people.
XXXY – Roughly 1 in 18,000 to 1 in 50,000 births.

LinkAnd people with the female reproductive system can actually be born with XY chromosomes (androgen insensitivity syndrome) and people born with the male reproductive system can have XX (though this is more rare).

LinkBiological s*x is not binary.

LinkBiological S*x and Gender are two different things. Biological s*x refers to the type of reproductive system you have and other characteristics (chromosomes and such).

LinkGender refers to the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that are socially constructed. This includes norms, behaviours and roles associated with being a woman, man, girl or boy, as well as relationships with each other. Gender has to do with your sense of self. Who you feel you are. People who are “gender critical” or don’t think that gender is even a thing and that there is only biological s*x are just wrong. In a way, gender is made up but still very real.

LinkFor example, why do you feel like a man / woman? If what makes you a man or woman is your genitals then if you one day woke up as the opposite s*x would you just accept it and feel like that s*x? Or would there be something internally telling you that you’re not in the right body? If gender isn’t real and there is only biological s*x, then you should feel okay being the opposite s*x if you woke up as such. The thing telling you that you are not that, is your internal sense of gender.

LinkDavid Reimer (born Bruce Peter Reimer; 22 August 1965 – 4 May 2004) was a Canadian man born male but raised as a girl following medical advice and intervention after his ***** was severely injured during a botched circumcision in infancy. Often as a child he would experience signs of gender dysphoria that trans people experience. Deep inside he knew he was man. What happened to him was screwed up, and unfortunately he ended up taking his own life, but what made him know that he was a man? His sense of gender.

LinkLet’s talk about transgender suicide rates. First of all making fun of transgender ppl’s suicide rates is not okay. If you are religious, you should know that telling people to kill themselves is a sin. The reason for the 41% suicide rate is because of a lot of things. Bullying, zero support from their friends and family, the 50% of trans people who are s*xually harrassed, gender dysphoria, etc. However there are things that can lower said suicide rate.

LinkSupport from friends and family, acceptance in society, transitioning, etc… can all help lower that number.

LinkIf you're going to say that being trans is bad because god said so, remember that you can't force your religion on others. It's against the laws. Freedom of Religion.

LinkThe Evidence for Trans Youth Gender-Affirming Medical Care
Research suggests gender-affirming medical care results in better mental health:

LinkBefore I talk about gender affirming care just know that it's illegal to give people under 18 top or bottom surgery or a historectomy (or however you spell it) and the only exception is trans men who are near 18 years old but even then.
1. That's only for top surgery
2. That's extremely rare and hard to get.
So, no one is chopping of 5 year old's p*nises.
There are 2 types of transitions. Social transition (changing name & pronouns, different haircut and change of clothes, etc), and then there's medical transition (HRT, surgery, etc). Social transition is totally reversible. The only type of medical transition minors can get is Puberty Blockers. What puberty blockers do is block puberty! For example, a trans boy who takes puberty blockers might stop getting periods. The moment a child stops taking puberty blockers they start going right back to normal puberty.

LinkPuberty blockers make it so that trans kids can experience less gender dysphoria. People often bring up that the same stuff that puberty blockers are made of are used to sterilize p*dos. However they often leave out the fact that they are taken in high dosages. For example, if I take the average prescribed pill for my ADHD, I'll be able to focus more better and such. If I take the whole entire bottle, I'll have a seizure. Dosage levels matter and puberty blockers contain STABLE amounts of GnRH

LinkWhile there is no such thing as a “male brain” and a “female brain” there are things in the brain that are common in biological females and biological males. For example certain parts of the brain that are large for men, may be smaller in women (for some reason, a lot of dumb people think that a larger brain or larger parts of the brain equals being smarter, which is dumb and so easily disprovable. There are plenty of short and small people that are smarter than the average population). In the largest study on transgender people’s brains in the world, people found that transgender women’s brains and brain activity were almost exactly identical to cisgender women’s, and transgender men’s brains and brain activity were almost exactly identical to cisgender men’s.

LinkThis was found in literally every transgender person (with one or two of the 260 participants not being like that). So when people ask, “We all know where biological s*x is determined by genitals, so what is gender determined by?” We can say, “In the brain.” More info here → https://health.clevelandclinic.org/research-on-the-transgender-brain-what-you-should-know/

LinkOkay I forgot to reread it what I mean is
So when people ask, “We all know biological s*x is determined by genitals, so what is gender determined by?” We can say, “The brain.”

LinkSoon I'll talk about things like the "Pretadory Trans Woman" myth, the "Transgender Social Contagion" Myth, the "Trans people indoctrinating and transing your kids" Myth, the "Groomer" Myth, the "Rapid-Onset Gender Dysphoria" Myth that's already been debunked by experts everywhere, and many more myths (because a myth is a widely held but false belief or idea, and these beliefs and ideas are false, and harmful)
