How transexual could change sex without changing XX into XY chromosomes?

[Tiberius]

Please, what is gender? How it is different from sex?

A persons biological sex is what equipment they have between their legs. Their gender is what their sense of self is telling them.

Transgenderism is not normal. According to Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital and its current Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, transgenderism is a mental disorder that requires treatment. He has stated that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder, rather than treating it. Dr. McHugh is the author of at least 125 peer-reviewed medical articles and six books.

Those who are confused about their gender also often struggle with other anxieties, phobias, and confused feelings about themselves. As a mental disorder issue that requires proper medical attention, clearly giving young people strong hormone blockers and/or promoting irreversible surgeries is not really addressing the underlying issues or helping the person at all. I don’t believe people are born in the wrong body. They’re born in the right body with a mental disconnect, so the solutions are psychological (and spiritual), not physical.

And though he is an expert in the field his is a minority view.

Also there does not appear to be a "cure" for transgenderism. The attempted cures seem to have done more harm than good which is why most doctors reject his position.

I don’t think going along with a person’s mental and/or emotional confusion, pretending or lying to them rather than being truthful and helping them make peace with reality, ever helps anyone.

Remember the story of The Emperor With No Clothes? It was the majority who were wrong, going along with a delusional lie. The minority...one little boy, spoke the truth.

Keep believing this way, and the doors of Paradise will be opened for you.
Belief or faith is not blind. Faith is staying true (faithful) to the path of truth and love.

So, in a story a minority was correct. Therefore, you say, the minority must be correct in this case too? It seems transsexuals are not the only ones who are confused.

I don't understand why some people cannot seem to grasp the fact that human beings are complex organisms, made immensely more complex by having complex intelligence, rather than some basic assemblage of instincts.

Are you your body, and nothing more? Are you your mind, and nothing more? Are you both? Or neither? What happens if your mind has a perception different than what your physical body expresses?

I happen to be the owner of a body with the usual male bits (which shall remain nameless, in the interest of prudery), and I also happen to see myself (this is the mind working) as a male. For me, fortunately, there's a fit. (The fact that I happen to be gay has nothing to do with that. That's another matter.)

But I have known people who were similarly equipped, but who just "knew" (in their own minds) that the equipment was mis-applied, didn't fit, wasn't supposed to be there, because they felt as female as any woman ever did.

Now, I can't fully grok that. I can try to imagine, to empathize, but I'll never truly "get it." But I can accept that that is how they feel. I can do that because I have been thought of, because I'm gay, as "wanting to be a woman" because I like men. But I know how I feel (and you don't). That has never been true.

The "person you are," the real you, in my view, is a thing of the mind. If you lose a finger, or a foot, or develop a growth, or lose your hair or grow a moustache or paint your nails don't alter the person you are.

We have the advantage, here on RF, of mostly not being able to see one another, and so we accept each other as we present ourselves. I've been surprised to learn, from time to time, that some members I've assumed are the gender they present themselves as are actually equipped with unmatching sexual apparatus. When I learn that, what should I think? Should I think their gender has changed? Well, I don't. I take them at their word -- I believe them to be who they present themselves to be.

The gender phenomena is like when actors play a role. A good actor can pretend to be someone else, with some actors becoming so convincing that win awards from their peers. With makeup, costume and character research, you can become male/female or any race, at any time in history.

If they do this one character, too long, one can become type casted, making it harder to change character and pursue other roles. And if one allow themselves to get lost in that character, it can end in disaster, since it requires repressing innate parts of themselves, that may not fit the character.

The actor is a fitting metaphor since cross dressing is about the show. It reminds me of Vaudeville, since things needed to be exaggerated, so even the people in the cheap seats, can also see. Actor need to be noticed and loved by their adoring fans.

During halloween, which is coming up, you get to be anything you wish, even if you do not have the DNA or the physical attributes needed to be that character. You can pretend to be any animal, vegetable or mineral. You can even be a machine or a box of cereal. But the holiday only lasts for one day, so people do not over play their fantasy role and get lost in a delusion. Once a year people are allowed to come out the closet of fantasy, since we all have imaginations. This allows us to leave natural cause and affect, for a day. Being in natural cause and affect, most of the time, is needed, by the majority, so we all; collectively, can maintain a foothold in reality.

What would happen if we decided that Halloween should be an everyday holiday and everyone can be anything or anyone, they want to be, even of it does not have to coordinate with their DNA or natural attributes? The animal character will wan to upgrade to fur attachment surgery. There would too many actors and no audience to pay the bills. Gender is not the only possible role.

The welfare state created by the Left, created actors who are able bodied in the 1960's, but suddenly needed to play the role of drug addicts and depressed people who are down on their luck. These roles remained too long and ended in type casts, making it harder to get a healthy role.

In the case of the new gender costuming, the Political Left has made this an everyday holiday, for some, so type casting and addiction can both occur. I suppose, getting actors addicted and dependent, adds up to votes. They create a small army of people, who think their imaginary role and character is the most important aspect of their life, so they will ignore other fantasy ideas that have ended in disaster; defund police.

The fantasy of criminals becoming good, if there is no police or legal push back, was never real. I was always fiction. It was accepted by those who have lost their way due to their own type cast roles. Your play is most important to you. If other plays flop, that is not your main concern.

If little old granny thinks her late husband is coming, then you tell her you’ll look out for him. You don’t tell her he’s been dead for years.

If the public doesn’t know to pick their battles, they won’t survive. A naked man is less important than governance.

Transgenderism is not normal.

Still yet in the year 12,022 of the Holocene Era...

Define "normal".

You really need to work on your analogies. You forgot that in my case the experts were not the ones that were blinding themselves as you are. You have this one hundred percent backwards, It is a group of people that follow a book of myths that are afraid to follow the evidence that are like the king's court. The scientists are the one that look into things without a preset bias.
