No prejudice intented, since they are also human beings. But I suppose it must be horrible, be in such condition, a brain who feels like a gender in a body of oposite gender. I heard about cases that even so they regret transgender surgery.
It's some kind of disease, if it disturb them so much, leading suicides to a extremelly high level.
The fact of the word disease had lead doctors to do abominable things with them don't change the fact that it's a disease or at least some serious trouble leadind such people to suffering (not just suffering from prejudice & cruelty of society). Doctors were, and still are, so ignorant as society. They are just like tyre fitter, trainned for some technical work, but as stupid as the culture they were raised. So doctors tried to fit them to society at any cost, even torture, like they did with gays and "histheric" women (until 1910's and more).
Disease with no "cure". They can't turn the body into trully female, and can't change the brain. If they could change the brain they would be somehow killing the person, since it would alter the personality so deeply that would be no longer the original person.
My theory it's that the brain take a way root different from the body's gender, developing a different neuro net, more like to women neurology. So it would be more like a congenital problem.
There even some sort of "natural transgenders", man with a condition they born with nearly no androgenic receptor sensibility to testosterone, and the body develops more like a women than man, despite the XY cromossomes. Some just find out their genectics are male in adult age or with some medical exame.
But leftwing are very wrong when they said gender (mind gender) it's determined by culture and parenthood. One case of identical twin boys, when one as a baby was accidentally castrated when a electric scapel overcharged and cut his penis during a circuncision (male genital mutilation approved by doctors) procedure, proved it. The doctors told the parents to raise the castrated boy as a girl, and they tried it, change name of the boy, changed from city, but it didn't worked. When the boy grow up he tried to be a man again, since suffered a lot in childhood being created as a girl, and tried many surgeries that failed all. In the end the poor guy killed hinself.
Medical science f...kep-up hin 3 times. First when chopped off hin, second when gave a horrible advice, and third when failed to reconstruct his genital.
So, leftwing and righring are wrong, since parenthood and creation did not gave gender, and since these conditions have no treatment or cure.
Right and left in such cases share a good deal of ignorance.
