well, firstly, i hate all biological determinism. i thinks mostly bs. theres somethings obviously that are genetic, but generally im a very big nurture over nature kind of person.

but more than that, i just hate it out of priciple. because why does it matter? if we arent born with a gendered soul, or the brain of the other sex or whatever else, then why does it matter? does that make the pain of dysphoria less real? does that make the treatment any different? i dont think so.

its like how i hate gays talking about homosexuality in nature. like cool, but it doesnt mean anything. if humans were the only species on the planet to practice homosexual relations, itd still be okay for gay people to exist.

we dont live natural lives, we are so much more complex than that. if someone isnt hurting another person, then thats all that should matter. the ones who hate us, who hate gay people, they dont care about appeals to nature. its just fighting them on their own terf and conceding to their arguments because they’ll never believe anything but their own reactionary world views anyway.

      if its purely looked at as biological though, it can easily be made to restrict access to hrt based on arbitrary lines.

      like what if someone still feels horribly, suicidally dysphoric, but they dont have a female neruomap or whatever and thats used to deny them care?

      or what if access to hrt is locked behind getting said brainscan that many people wouldn’t be able to afford?

          not saying genetics play literally 0 factor of course, just that even if it did it wouldnt mske these things illegitimate in my view.
