| Torillian said: I think what makes transgender a real thing while transspecies is not is that there is research indicating that in certain ways the brains of trans women are more like cis women then they are cis men and the same is true of trans men. There is no such research that indicates anyone has the brain of a deer and thus the "well what if I identify as a toaster, will you shove your morning bread into me?" is just a ridiculous analogy. If research is done that shows people who see themselves as another species have brains with activity or structures similar to those of the species they believe they are then you can put them in the same category as transgender. |
On the other hand, those studies also prove that while the brain is similar, it's not the same as the cis brain, thereby only supporting my statement about there being a biological disparity even after manipulation.
