The Biological/Psychosocial Debate

There is an ongoing debate about whether or not people are born transgender. In my opinion, it feels as though the male-to-female trans community needs to believe that they have an innate female gender identity, or a "feminine essence". The issue with this is that nobody has an "innate gender identity" because gender is a social construct, absent from biology. The mainstream theory is that being trans is genetic and a result of prenatal androgenization. All the scientific studies, which support this claim, commit the error of conflating cross-gendered behaviors and mannerisms with gender identity - and lest we forget that ol' Blanchard himself propagated this idea, in order for his HSTS theory to work. Tsk. Tsk.

Allow me to explain: a male brain that is lacking in prenatal androgenization does appear similar to a female brain, and does in fact mean that you have a male who engages in female mannerisms and female behaviors naturally because he was genetically predisposed to do so. The trans community takes this and runs with it... but unfortunately, it has fuck all to do with gender identity. Remember, gender identity is a social construct and gender identity is formed through a process of socialization which begins as soon as a child is born - outside of the womb, specifically.

Let's ask a similar - but different - question: could it be that people are genetically predisposed to being trans? Well, only in the sense that a male fetus lacking prenatal androgenization is going to become a very girly boy, and this can effect his male socialization in a way where he ends up with a Gender Identity Disorder - for instance, he experiences emasculation trauma because he is such a girly boy, which leads to him developing AGP as an adolescent, which leads to holy shit! an HSTS who is AGP. The GAY-GP.

I'm still not done talking about prenatal androgenization! In the scientific studies flaunted by the trans community, this term describes a male fetus lacking the prenatal hormones males typically receive, or a female fetus which receives an excess of male hormones. This results in a butch lesbian - and I don't know if you noticed how many butch lesbians are doing the FtM thing... well, it's all thanks to this peer reviewed, scientific faux pas! Whoopsie! Don't mind the skyrocketing rate of FtM detransitioners who drank the gender ideology Kool-aid - the trans community will claim that they weren't "really trans" anyway!

And do you know who is leading the pack for MtF detransitioners? The Blanchard HSTS, of course! One reason for this is that they almost always have an established male core gender identity. I guess no one is telling these kids (or their parents) that childhood gender dysphoria often fades during adolescence, and is gone completely upon reaching adulthood. I speculate that once these kids hit puberty and start producing the hormones of their biological sex, in combination with the maturation of the brain may play a part in childhood gender dysphoria gradually decreasing with age. I also wonder what would happen if, instead of administering cross-sex hormones, they gave these kids the hormones of their biological sex. If these effeminate, HSTS kids started taking testosterone, could this make their gender dysphoria go away, without the need for surgeries or a lifelong attachment to the pharmaceutical industry?

These kids today don't want that. They don't want the hormones their body naturally produces - they want the other ones - duh, stupid! They want to be trans, it's cool to be trans! This is all part of the agenda being pushed by the mainstream. Prenatal androgenization may very well be a determining factor for sexual orientation, but there simply isn't a biological factor for determining gender identity that the trans community so desperately wants it to be. If it was, however, then why isn't every effeminate male trans? Why isn't every masculine, butch girl trans? Well, they all seem to think they are nowadays, so who knows?

(Yes - intersex people exist, but I am not talking about intersex people. I am specifically referring to biological males and females who are born with their respective genitalia, fully formed and functional.)

Gender identity is established around age three. Infants are socialized by their parents and family/friends who are close to the child. I have a nine month old baby boy, so I am seeing firsthand all of the little things that myself, his mother and his grandparents do that indicate to him that he is a boy. His core gender identity will be established once his brain is developed enough for him to come to the understanding that "I am a boy". The only way that I can conceive of a boy thinking instead that "I am a girl" is by being raised as a girl, which means that a boy who has a female core gender identity is exceedingly rare. What is more likely to occur is a child's socialization somehow being interfered with; a boy that fails to establish a male core gender identity (due to said interference) will have an ambiguous gender identity. This interference must occur in the first few years and must somehow involve the urge to be female. I wish I could tell you more than this, but keep in mind that nobody is looking into it. The trans community takes the stance that being trans is a combination of biology and mystery.

Not all Traumatized People are Trans, but all Trans People are Traumatized.

(That was a Gabor Mate quote I ripped off - I replaced the word "addicts" with "trans people". Teehee.)

TL;DR There is no innate gender identity that people are born with. People do naturally take on specific gender roles in accordance with their biological sex, but this is entirely a social construct, not a biological one.
