Scientists uncover 20 genes linked to being transgender (tr)

Scientists have uncovered 20 genes linked to being transgender – supporting claims that the condition has a physical basis.

Researchers believe the gene variations may contribute to people identifying with the opposite sex.

Critics of transgender identity say the condition is ‘all in the mind’, and transgender people have a psychological problem rather than a medical one. But by highlighting genetic mutations that affect brain development, the latest findings point towards transgender identity having a physical basis.

If you can test and abort due to Downs why not transgenderism? Wouldn’t it be for the best? I’m just sayin’.

I’m sure these same fruitcake scientists will claim that there are also 20 genes linked to the big bang or beginning of existence!

Yes, probably similar to the global warming “science”.

First causality is not necessarily implied by a correlation.

Secondly even if it were, this only goes to prove the point even more that “transgenderism” is a mental disease, and thus shouldn’t be placated but rather treated with mental help. Not an operation to indulge the fantasy.

Bottom line it’s just like saying “I’m predisposed to alcoholism because of my genes so I should just be allowed to drink all I want even at work even while driving”. No, you have a disease and need to seek professional help.

For Regressives, “believing is seeing.” Accordingly, they use phony reverse scientific method: conclusion first to confirm their hypothesis, then make up ‘data’ and ‘facts’ to support. It’s all B.S.

Are these the same scientists that certified Jack’s beans as extraordinary?

That’s it! Now is anyone talking about FIXING such problems? Or is gay/transgenderism too PC to fix? Seems to me that finding a deviation/problem the FIRST concern would be to fix it not celebrate it as a good thing.

I recall when science was just automatically respected.

For that matter, I also recall when news was just automatically considered the truth.

We identified genetic variants in 20 genes that may play a role in transgender identity.

So really they are not sure but merely speculating.

"The DNA test involved people in treatment at transgender clinics."

Gender-specific clothes are a social convention, and I'm suspicious of a claim that genes can make you want to wear different types of clothes than are considered appropriate for your gender. What do genes know about clothes?
