    “Born in the wrong body” used to get the point across

      Sure. But even then majority of cis people most likely don’t believe it.

      Edit: made it more conscise.

        brain rotted certainly but the more biological you make the explanation the more it makes sense

          Yeah, I agree. It was largely a thought in my head anyway. I don’t really explain anything to anyone.

            I explained trannyhood to a clueless 25 year old cishet man working a minimal wage job with no college with sole basic biological explanations like “ok so it’s an inborn brain mismatch caused by a vaginal defect which makes the fetus have wrong hormone receptors and as such the nervous system including the brain registers itself as a gender whereas the defect causes the body to not match the brain” and that cleared it up to him

          I don’t disagree, but i do wonder if cis people would be more understanding of that explanation than the “born in the wrong body” thing

            if you explain it well. cis people are more likely to understand the more technically biological ylu get and the less theyfabery you encourage in your explanation. Like it’s not a choice, an aesthetic etc. It’s a fundamental wrong build of the brain and body due to defects when the nervous system was being made and so on
