Re: What are your thoughts (repost of missfire)

I don't think it applies to this particular discussion in psychology? When we talk about someone who is transgender in the context of neuroanatomy and biology we talk about someone whose internal concept of their person does not match their secondary sexual characteristics (and sometimes genetic sex). I especially talk about it as having a possible atypical neuroanatomy that is likely a sort of birth defect.

I commented elsewhere that the whole idea of gender as a social construct is a bit of an exercise in philosophy in my book since traditional masculine and feminine ideals are so performative and generally impossible to attain for any given individual. I prefer to deal in topics I can quantify neatly, and treat symptoms that exist rather than discuss vague constructs. Leave the philosophy for the philosophers.
