"assigned at birth"

is a pet peeve of mine when i hear that. You were not assigned anything at birth. You just are what you are. Sorry to bring reality crashing back down on you.

Truth bomb. Painful for many to read though no doubt 🤷

@Lanie78 most likely but it had to be said

@Lanie78 you think gender dysphoria doesn't exist or intersex people?

@FragileHeart His comment is not about intersex people. Being intersex is a deformity. During fetal development something happened which caused ambiguous or hidden, or missing genitalia. The term " assigned at birth" is generally used in the LGBTQ community and that is what he is speaking on.
Also intersex people are always male or female as well, they may not present as typical.
Gender dysphoria is a mental disorder.
It should be treated psychologically.

Psychologists advocate for transitioning, hormone therapy and surgery cause that's the way to treat it.

Also Intersex variations are not abnormal and should not be seen as a deformity.

@Lanie78 Isn't a truth bomb supposed to contain some non-zero amount of truth?

@FragileHeart But being intersex is medically and scientifically a malformation or maldevelopment. No shame to those who are intersex but it is a medical condition resulting from disruption to normal development.

@REMsleep Intersex variations are natural biological variations and occur in up to 1.7 per cent of all births
