    I am talking psychology but even in biology there is acceptance that gender is not binary - ever heard of Turner syndrome or Klinefelter syndrome?

    Then there is a neurocognitive basis for a non binary sexuality

    Want to keep playing?
    BTW your turn to supply links and citations

    Sex and gender are determined by what is between your legs not what is in your brain.

    This is the sort of stupidity that gives us people acting like they're cats seeking validity.

    What you have is politically driven, agenda driven pseudoscience.

    Men have a penis and women have a vagina.
    That's reality.

    You can post links until the cows come home but it does not mean you are correct

    I have just proven that perception of sexuality has a neurocognitive basis - this is what the research is saying

    Your turn to provide links and citations that prove this research wrong

    So it's all in your mind right? Well I feel like I'm an oak tree and I can get someone to scan my brain and point to this little area and say that corresponds to an oak tree.

    The only thing that you have "proven"... Is that you know how to use Google and that you can go fetch a link to some politically driven pseudoscience. Nothing more than junk science with an agenda.

    When a child is born and they write the sex/gender on the birth certificate.... Where do you think the doctor looks to determine it?

    But every part of your body is driven by the brain. One of the early textbooks on neurology is Oliver Sachs textbook on “The man who mistook his wife for a hat”.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Mistook_His_Wife_for_a_Hat

    Stroke victims can suffer one sided neglect where anything on that side of their body simply does not exist for them.

    Your brain builds the world for you so of course gender IDENTITY resides within the brain itself

    So why should we allow our body to identify anything? We can literally feel and be whatever we want to be!

    A non-binary view of sexuality, not gender or sex. The Samoans dont believe a Faʻafafine is a woman.

    Sounds like the so called gay brain studies.

    "The brains of gay and heterosexual people also appear to be organised differently. For example patterns of brain organisation appear similar between gay men and heterosexual women and between lesbian women and heterosexual men. Gay men appear, on average, more “female typical” in brain pattern responses and lesbian women are somewhat more “male typical”."

    What did the study actually show?

    "Rightward hemispheric asymmetry was found in the brains of 14 of 25 heterosexual males and 11 of 20 homosexual females, but in only 13 of 25 heterosexual females and 10 of 20 homosexual males."
    http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=256

    So 50% of the homosexual male brains resembled 52% of the heterosexual female brains, the other 50% DID NOT resemble those brains.
    And 55% of the homosexual female brains resembled 56% of the heterosexual male brains. The other 45 % DID NOT resemble those brains. Thats the entire basis of this much heralded "gay brain". Would seem such biological factors at most have only the slightest influence on sexual orientation. They obviously do not determine it.

    We don't let them wear their Spidey Suit to school. Thus they learn that not EVERYONE can or will indulge them.

    It's happening. People involved ARE pushing for blockers, to 'avoid the complicating action of puberty on transition'.

    It's bad science, BB. All they can do at this point is point at 'differences' in brains. They have not the first clue what caused those differences. More importantly, the differences are far more likely to be a result of environment, than genetics. The one thing we do know is that stress hormones impact neurochemistry and even structure. That's not genetics, that's environment.

    This is one of the most confusing messes of a post I have ever had the displeasure of trying to decipher

    Happy people don't attention seek. They are the proverbial 'grey man'.
