    No one has said that they don't exist. And no one has said that 'what they are' isn't real. Gender dysphoria is absolutely real - a real psychiatric disorder.

    This thread is not about birth defects.

    Glad to hear it. And glad to call them women.

    Or hormonal imbalance.
    Or sex organ imbalance to go with the hormones.

    Hormones not being as the majority isn't a defect? Especially if it doesn't match the sex organs?

    Drag? They're in freaking bikinis.
    Each has their own views. Looks are subjective.

    If a mad scientist injected you with the opposite sex hormones and mutilated your genitals could he turn you into a woman against your will?

    Primarily psychiatric. Environmental in origin (IMO).

    No. I'm to masculine.
    So you think a mad scientist did that to those in the pictures against their will.

    And I would never, no matter how much knife or hormones would look like they did. The bone structure needs to be there as well.
    But I guess the mad scientist could redo bone structure also.

    The actual answer is simple. Some will choose to believe it's complicated in order to support a particular construct.

    I appreciate your opinion. I will however, disagree it's completely psychiatric. Perhaps some.
    For there are, IMO, infinite possibilities between 100% male and female, whatever that even means.

    Or since it is humans and millions of dna, genes, hormones, chemicals, etc, things get a little jumbled.

    Sure he could. And shave your Adam's apple as well.

    But the question is: if a mad scientist can't turn a man into a woman against his will how can a respectable doctor turn a man into a woman at all?

    I'm wondering if too much parental time could be a common factor as well.

    Wrong - unless freedom can somehow be divorced from sanity, in which case it can never be anything but a delusion anyway.

    Depends on which department store restrooms you're trying to use.

    Narcissism is noticeably pronounced in homosexuality also. Freud was the first to notice it.

    I've known three homosexual couples well enough to observe the pattern. One partner seems like a normal and even likable guy. The other is a raging narcissist.

    Two. Male and female. Anything else is a defect.

    There are 2 sexes, and 13 genders. I'll tell you what they are, but it'll cost you $9.99 (for a limited time only).

    As far as I'm concerned, there are only two. If other people want to invent other genders for themselves, then that's on them, but don't expect me to keep up with all that stuff. I have enough to worry about.
