    No one knows what causes transgenderism, although there is a really good theory out there which describes it a bit like this: Gender Dysphoria occurs when the brain is "wired" to one gender, and the body develops as another.
    That is largely why it's refered to as a disorder.
    Honestly? I don't want to get wrapped up in transpolitics, I just want to live my life, do my work, et cetera.

    I don't dislike women, the reason I don't listen to many female artists is simply that I'm not attracted to their voices most of the time.
    I'm sorry you though otherwise, I don't want to offend anyone.

    I don't think anything logical can be based solely on a gut reaction or an elusive feeling. There are differences in the minds of men and women, but if you are biologically a woman then how do you have the brain of a man? I just think that human beings can do whatever they want regardless of gender. If you're a female having a thought, the fact that you are female is what makes it a female thought (or feeling) not what gender role it is associated with.

    I don't care what people do what their personal lives, but I do think that transpolitics are problematic in a lot of ways. No offense, but I get the vibe that you don't like women very much. Like in your other blog you said you don't listen to female artists - and I always hear transmen saying things like that. It makes me have a hard time believing that a lot of transgender people don't just hate the gender they were assigned at birth (especially transmen, which makes sense since being a woman isn't very fun) and want nothing to do with it. I can understand why you would feel that way since being a woman is shitty, but at the same time I don't think it's right.

    Gender doesn't monopolize a thought process, what this says is that you believe that your thoughts (ie, how you think) and emotions (ie, the way you handle/experience emotion) are of the opposite sex.
    This is inherently difficult to describe since largely what is being talked about here is a gut reaction.
    There are differences in the minds of men and women.

    Thoughts don't belong to a gender. Anyone can think anything. Same goes for feelings. If you're what this society calls a girl (you have a vagina) then whatever you think are girl thoughts. And vice versa.
