How do i become a real gurl???
| Hormone Therapy I guess.
Or you can just crossdress and trap but I don't technically count it as being a 'real' girl.
| >implying you aren't one
| HRT, Ive been on it for 10 montgs now. Also anyone trying to be a girl, already is one. Become the waifu.
| months* lol
| Aren't there too many dangers with HRT?
| or just take responsibility for the body the world/God gave you, and find how you can better others' lives instead of changing something that doesn't need changing. <3

>Telling a trans g/u/rl that "Nah fuck that just stay with the body you don't feel comfortable in and pray to god"
What
| >>212024 There is some logic in her response though. Like if you accept yourself as you are and stop trying to fit in the categories and shit. But I get what you are saying.
| >>212024 Biologically you are born as one of 2 genders, period. God doesn't even have to be part of the topic, I just am a believer in God and respecting the body and life that we've been given. Simple as that. If you are uncomfortable in your own body then you need to seek mental help or therapy because that is a known and scientifically proven mental illness.
Say what you will, but I'm only trying to help. It's a serious condition that degrades your mind. I've seen it happen.
| Gender isn't even real, who cares what your genitals say about what you should you wear and what way should you identify as.
>You were born that way nothing to do about it, nope, nature's way, respect it, you're stuck like this and you must endure it.
| This isnt even 4chan and ppl start already with the trap stuff
| >>212094 It would be better this way, but sadly, this is not true.
You see, human body builds itself in collaboration with uterus according to complex, delicate program. The program is spelled in changing (in time and location) concentrations of various simple and complex molecules. Fetus' cells' receptors respond to these changes by changing their patterns of division and their gene expression. Eventually tissues and organs develop from these interactions of signaling and cell..
| >>2fc839 ... division and specialization. The brain develops the same way: chemical signals tell stem cells where to divide, which types of neurons to become, with which areas of brain to link, using which kinds of synapses... These patterns will influence the personality and intelligence later, in multiple, mostly subtle ways.
Truth is - this chemical program is not perfect, it is malleable, prone to internal defects and external influences. For example there are molecules...
| >>2fc839 ..., that, when ingested by mother, permanently deform the fetus.
Truth is, development of sexually dimorphic features is governed by a subprogram of this general chemical program (and the results are different - brains and bodies of men and women are quite different in multiple measurable aspects). There is a sequence of chemical events that has to happen to signal all the cells of the body that they should develop male features. A large component of this signaling...
| >>2fc839 ...is so called prenatal testosteron (there are other derived androgens and signals triggered by them though). The level of this hormone in uterus should be high enough and in perfect timing to trigger fully male brain and genitalia development (and not only these). And the fetus' cells should have a normally fuctioning AR receptor gene...
| >>2fc839 This process can withstand some small natural variation (though the results are still seen in digit ratios and in that many boys really are slightly more feminine than others). If the disturbance is large, the fetus will develop differently. Depending on the prenatal androgen levels and their timing, either some parts or brain, or the whole brain, or the whole brain and some parts of body can fail to masculinize - they will be fictionally close to female, or to something..
| >>2fc839 ... in-between. There is analogical possible issue with female fetus development, uterus B won't delve into it here. Disruptions to this process could come from various sources: hormonal problems of your mother; stress of your mother; immune system of your mother suppressing Y chromosome; xenoestrogens; yet unidentified molecules from environment (chemical industry is pretty polluting); your mother touching your father's antibalding medicine once...
| >>2fc839 It turns out that this partial feminization of boys is quite widespread. One common theory says that partial brain feminization results in gay/bi boys, while almost full feminization results in mtf trans people. Here just one of research supporting this theory https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn14146-gay-brains-structured-like-those-of-the-opposite-sex/
This should be enough (and there is much more research) to assume it is true. What is the humane course of action...
| >>2fc839 ...then? It seems ethical to leave individuals who are ok with their bodies be. It seems unethical not to help people (i.e. a brain) suffering from mismatch of their brain and body sex. (Male and female brains are different, they are evolved for different modes of living and different hormones). Our society creates very different environments for males and females, exacebrating this problem even further for trans people...
| >>2fc839 ...It only seems logical to help trans people by transforming their bodies and hormonal makeups to their brains' sex, because you cannot rewire already grown brain (the process of growth is one-off) and it is unrealistic to think that you can change society, so that people with (partially) female brain in male body will be treated like females.
Thus HRT became mainstream. Also note that realistically, quite some trans people are stuck "in the middle" and accept that...
| >>2fc839 ...they still benefit from HRT. By in the middle I mean that their brain wiring includes roughly equal amount of male and female features.
I hope this helps.
>>212144 It is hard to deny that male and female brains are different and this gives us markedly different behaviors and preferences. E.g. http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/08/07/contra-grant-on-exaggerated-differences/
