    Why don’t you read up on the medical consensus and make an effort to understand gender dysphoria? If you really care, you would participate in the conversation with a genuine interest and understanding. It seems you are more invested in confirming your biases instead. The medical research has evolved way past the surface level analysis you will find on Lemmy or Reddit.

      Medical consensus on how to treat a specific mental illness is not relevant in this conversation about definitions.

        The medical consensus is just as much about our understanding of the symptoms underlying issues as much as the treatment. The issue is your “belief” system of what falls in the categories you described. I’ll ask you how you define the female gender. Give us a working definition and let’s see where we disagree.

          Why do you say “female gender” when supposedly gender and sex are different?

          I believe if you are an adult female, you are a woman, and if you are an adult male, you are a man.

          Please don’t bring up intersex as some sort of gotcha either, those are medical conditions and a result of biological processes gone wrong. We wouldn’t say humans don’t have two legs just because someone was born with one.
