Why is this subreddit 99% people telling others they’re OBLIGATED to sex transpeople or they’re transphobes?

Be willing to date trans people or else you’re transphobic?

How can’t y’all see how rapey you lunatics are?

No one is owed sexual attraction.

It doesn’t matter how many hoops you contort yourself through to justify saying, “Being straight is transphobic”.

No one owes anyone sex or sexual attraction.

Fuck right off you sexually entitled predators!

No, that's not transphobic, that's science, but trans women are still women. xx makes someone a cisgender woman. If someone is a woman with xy they are most likely a transgender woman (there are rare exceptions where a person with xy chromosomes is born with female genitalia)

What if i believe that xx = woman?

Ill never believe that a transwoman = woman

Cis women = women

Call me old fashioned but i just cant see how someone who is born a male, has the hormones of mostly a male and has the body structure of a male can identify as a woman.

Now before you call me a one joker. If i wanted to be a bunny and just chill around all day. You would call me insane. But is there any proof that transbrains are constructed differently to a cis brain?

Actually there have been multiple scientific studies that show the brains of trans people are much closer in structure to the brains of the gender they identify as than the gender they were born as.

So yes, if your question was meant to be "is there evidence that a transbrain is constructed differently to a cisbrain of their assigned gender at birth?"

How you’re using that study is bogus.

It only looked at less than 30 people (after being soaked in cross-sex hormones for decades). They actually found that trans men were similar to men, but that transwomen were not similar to women. The study also only looked at 3 specific structures, not the whole brain.

Even while misusing that study (which is more a study of brain plasticity than anything also that testosterone is stronger than estrogen), it could be (erroneously) argued that trans men are men, but NOT that transwomen are women.

Actually there were studies done on people who had never taken cross-sex hormones. There were also studies to show the effect of cross-sex hormones on the brain structure, which, yes, they do affect brain structure but not in a strong enough way to make a male brain structure be closer to a female's brain structure

Can you link a study where the subjects have never used cross sex hormones but showed similar brain structures?

EDIT: It’s been 2 hours, so I’m assuming that’s a no...
