What's the difference between transgender people and tomgirl/boys?

@CandyApple: Those are sterotypical classifications. I got told I wasn't a girl, because I liked to weld. It's what boys and girls were taught they were supposed to do/like to be a boy or girl.
(On that note, I'm not saying it's bad for either gender to like any things, just that it's the sterotypical definition that our culture has been based off of for so long.)

@kimtin33: we have to stomp them out, though! I keep this on my phone :

😄 Yes! In my intro psyc class, we took a math test and were asked our gender either before or after. They found that when people were asked their gender first, males did better. When they were asked after, males and females did the same. The power of suggestion.

That's a mutation my dear.
I am medical student and when we study about non disjunction of xx chromosomes, or klinefelter's disorder or similar conditions we don't have to classify them as a different gender, lgbt is a different thing.
You could have given me harder objections like xq28 marker, LeVay's studies.

What do you think about the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis? The size is dependent on sex, the male's is larger than the female's. Transgender females have the size a female would have as opposed to a male.

Do you know about the studies of *hulshoff pol in 2006 it was the effect of hormone therapy on brain volumes in the male to female transsexuals.
Your concern about the BSTc should be blamed on the Netherlands institute which provided fuel to the 'Brain-Sex' theory.
I suggest you actually go through the report and you'll find out that the transsexuals had already been through the therapy some until their death They did examine one woman, in whom a virilizing adrenal tumor had produced elevated testosterone levels and one man, in whom a feminizing adrenal tumor had produced elevated estradiol levels. Neither individual had BSTc volumes or neuron numbers that were atypical for their sex, but it is probable that their cross-sex hormone levels, although elevated, had not been high enough and had not lasted long enough.
Brain sex theory is pretty much loosing I have suggested you before to go with genetics, you might catch me somewhere on the chromosome 🙃

It's the notion that your gender runs deeper than what parts you have physically

A transgender person may become transsexual, meaning that they get operations and hormones to help them become the gender they identify with.
There are operations to get breast implants and genital changes. A vagina can be created while I think penises are currently prosthetics, not lab-grown or something.

Also, I think you may be confused on what transgender means. For example, a transman has a masculinized brain (in shape and function). A transwoman has a feminized brain. The cause of transgenderism is unknown but has evidence of starting in the womb. The metaphor is actually pretty succinct: trapped in the wrong body.

There have also been many studies you can look into, such as psychological ones, including the unethical case by Dr. Money, and neurological studies- examinations of brains through scans, as well as autopsies.

Not necessarily

@CandyApple: My correction. A transgender is waiting for an operation

Actually, also not necessarily. They identify as the opposite gender from which they were born. They may choose to express that identity surgically but many do not.
