By denying science, the medical profession is committing some of the worst moral crimes in modern times. It must end.
What is a woman?
A defining question of our times, and the title of a now infamous documentary indicating the breadth of the political chasm dividing us here in the West.
Here is an answer, summarising current scientific understanding and coming from a research psychologist and clinician.
Let's start with the basics. Sexual differentiation, on the biological front – where the whole woman/man dichotomy originates, after all – happened two billion years in the past, long before nervous systems developed a mere 600 million years ago. The brute fact of sexual dichotomy was already a constant before even the basics of our perceptual, motivational, emotional and cognitive systems made their appearance on the cosmic stage. Thus, it could be argued that sexual differentiation is more ‘real’ than even ‘up’ or ‘down’, ‘forward’ or ‘back’– more so than pain or pleasure – and, as well, that its perception (given the necessity of that perception to successful reproduction) is key to the successful propagation of life itself.
The fact that such perception and sex-linked action was possible even before nervous systems themselves evolved should provide proof to anyone willing to think that the sexual binary is both fundamental objective fact and primary psychological axiom. There’s more: sexual differentiation is observable at every level of biological function. Sperm and egg are sexually differentiated; the 40 trillion cells that make up the human body each have a nucleus containing 23 paired chromosomes. Every single cell (with some minor exceptions) in a woman is female, and every single cell in a man male.

Deranged and liking it more apt.

Good point. Lets get back to the day where trannies only killed themselves.
Well-trained psychologists, abiding by the ethical standards of their profession, know full well that any clinical phenomenon must be measured in multiple distinct manners. This means, for example, that “subjective self-report” (the hypothetical feelings of a given client or research subject) must be considered, at best, one form of evidence – and could even be relied on in isolation if all other forms prove impossible to obtain –but should never be considered sufficient if additional information can be gathered .... Diagnosis is only appropriate when multiple divergent measures of the phenomenon in question converge in their findings.It's a form of confirmation bias that's everything wrong w/ the Left: it only considers self-affirming evidence and ignores, or makes up, the rest. Incredibly stupid -- and dangerous, especially when practiced by physicians.
You are 100% correct.
