Transgender people don't simply "decide" to be the other gender, they are the other gender and the only thing that transitions is their gender presentation.

Is there any scientific basis for this?

Are any feminists at odds with the strong assertion that women and men's brains are fundamentally different?

If some self-proclaimed 'feminist' deny the empirical fact of sexual dimorphism on some dumbass political ground then they're probably not worth listening to.

Oh bullshit. We've got medical studies that show differences in brain structure for transgenders or a case of actual multiple personalities or schizophrenia. That's how we know those are valid. That you are mentally a species that we split from millions if not billions of years ago and have no anatomical connection to, or that you are possessed by the "soul" of a fictional character, while not presenting with any defined psychological or neurological phenomena marks it as pretty clear that those are not valid.



I thought the nature of MPD is controversial at best. When has it been proven to be a real thing?
