in the context of transgenderism, it is my understanding that it is a psychological construct with contributions from hormones, neurochemistry, etc... and not necessarily sex organs or sex chromosomes (i wonder how many people there are that know for a fact they are a xx female or xy male and have the chromosome test results to prove it). i dunno if a physician is an authority on the topic, maybe... but it would seem to me to be more aligned with researchers in psychology rather than any old medical doctor.Why to psychologists, and not, let's say, physicians? Do you believe that men/women are just mental concepts?
I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm genuinely curious. I agree with everything you said in that paragraph, up to this sentence.
i'm still learning, this is just my basic understanding. it is certainly more complex than "have penis, must have the internal state of maleness" like the bigots want us to believe.
