I want a transgender Asari charcter.

And how exactly can you have a ''gender'' dysphoria if there is no gender? 

So what you're telling me is, that all of the transgender male to females that refuse to get their penis hacked off and turned into a vagina are actually men? 

Of course, taking in your next post into account, if nurture was SO POWERFUL then Brenda never would have felt the need to become David, because Brenda would have developed into a happy girl. Which of course isn't what happened because Brenda refused to go on female hormones, you know the things that MtFs take in order to partially "complete" their transition that you address without actually saying it. 

Of course, you also argue that we should take the exceptions of brain chemistry as a rule, which is not how rules work (otherwise we wouldn't have exceptions). 

So then rationally you would do everything in your power to change the way you think, but since you don't see it as too much of a problem (as well as it requiring too much effort for you to accomplish) you're not going to. You're going to sit back and decry your "faulty thinking" while doing nothing about it, which is rather hypocritical if you think about it.

I am the one underestimating the power of nurture? How so? So far you've made a greater case for nature than I have. You have argued that boys can't be boys without a penis, girls can't be girls without a vagina, and you have argued that you are powerless to change your "faulty way of thinking". Contradictions run rampant in your posts!

Once again, that is the exception not the rule. There are far too many people that want to have children, which is how it has always been.

Because core gender identity is not the same as societal imposed gender "roles" or gender "expression".  Like I said before, I think there would still be the sensation that your body does not adequately reflect how you think it should look, even though you can express yourself however you wish.  

Edit:  And I'm not talking about wearing dresses or ties.  I'm talking about genitalia. 

Yeah, no.  I don't think body modification for aesthetics is even remotely the same as body modification to help relieve gender dysphoria.

Key word: Dysphoria

You are making it all sound way too simplistic.  As stated, I think there is a biochemical and neurological component at play for people who have gender dysphoria that is not in play with people who want to get horns or their tongues split. 

This Reddit thread is a fine example of trans folks talking about gender dysphoria and if they think they'd still transition if gender roles weren't a thing.

Hahaha, not even close your position is unintelligible gibberish given that what you assert contradicts itself. Your conclusions are wrong, they're not supported by evidence, logic or even common sense for that matter. 

Read some of Derrida's work before you get into this, you are way out of your league with me. 

You claim gender is a social construct, right; so when are born, with body dysphoria, believing they're in the wrong body they hack at themselves to make their body more like a woman's, so there is such a thing as having the wrong brain in the wrong body or they wouldn't exist, so brain structure diverges between the sexes or the couldn't be born into the wrong body; ipso facto biologically male and female brains are different and as such different types of behaviour are derived from different brain structures ie: how men and women behave differently at a fundamental level is a biological determination which establishes the gender of a person; or you'd be able to re socialising , which has proved impossible because their brains are structured differently biologically, causing the conflict between brain and body resulting in the surgeries; not because gender is a social construct. 

Job done, case closed. Your points were crap and contradictory and this is why your position implodes ^ Now read it, comprehend it, and think what you said through, then grasp how stupid your position was.

And that's not touching on how testosterone affects brain structure at the prenatal level and the subsequent effects on behaviour ie: biological determinism of gender causing certain behaviour predispositions in children ie: boys and girls. Or why men show a significantly higher preponderance towards autism than women, because of brain structure, structure of the brain being the root cause of certain behaviour characteristics.

The fact you're parroting that drivel, tells me you're more than familiar with feminist theory which is underpinned by Derrida, actually it's a good thing you've never taken a gender studies class... because I'd be laughing my arse off right now, sociology classes are bad enough. 

*hic voice* Cant be no Transgender asari cuz asari aint got no other gender to trans too. Be like a asexual tape worm bein' trans, just dont make sense!

Tarnation.

Your every thought is a chemical process, no one does anything without a reason, you are basically trying to diminishing people that are not satisfied with their bodies in other ways right now, calling their issues simple, not sure why.

LOL wut?  I have done no such thing. 

Ok so by looking at the MRI scans you can state with 100% certainty whether the scan belongs to a male or a female, and if the scan of a male belongs to a female body and vice verse then that person 100% has a gender dysphoria. Is this correct?



People are not born with a gender so the Right button. Unless The MRI thing is correct, then I will take everything back.
