Sure. But no such scientific debate is open trans-racialism. That should tell you enough about it's legitimacy.

Then we are saying the same thing.

I don't want to accuse you of anything, I'm no saint either. But I don't believe for one second that anyone drawing those comparisons are being genuine. She is a joke across the board, associating her with trans is needlessly insensitive. It doesn't hurt at all to accept a trans person truth for what it is. Saying "she's still not a real woman" actually doesn't help anyone. It has an undercurrent of spite.

Seeing as gender dysphoria can be diagnosed as young as the age of 3(?) I think it runs deeper than "wearing jeans". I'd hate to use Bruce as an example but he engaged in typical masculine practices and was still unhappy with his genitals. I assume the sensation comes from the hormones not matching the genitals or something like that. I'm no expert or advocate!
