Transgender People May Have Key Brain Differences, Scientist Says

[QUOTE][I]Differences in brain activity could impact a person's sense of their own gender, according to a researcher who has tried to explain the cause of a condition experienced by some transgender people.

The article published in the journal eNeuro presents a new theory on what is known as "gender dysphoria," by looking at existing studies on the condition. Other experts in the field have said the findings should be regarded with caution.

Gender dysphoria, or gender incongruence, is where a person feels distressed because the gender they were assigned at birth does not match their internal feelings. For example, a person with a ***** who is assigned as a boy at birth, but who identifies as a girl. Some, but not all, transgender people experience gender dysphoria.

While some argue the term wrongly pathologizes the legitimate experiences of transgender people, others say it is necessary in order for individuals to receive treatments, such as hormonal medications and surgeries.

Stephen Gliske, a research assistant professor in neurology at the University of Michigan, called his new take the "multisense theory," as opposed to what he dubbed the "opposite brain sex theory."

Gliske said evidence suggests brain networks linked to how individuals perceive the ownership of their body parts, that influence gender-typical behavior, and chronic distress are different in those with gender dysphoria. This stands in contrast to the theory which suggests those with the condition have brain regions similar in shape and size to the gender they identify with.

The researcher said he hopes the research could lead to therapies that reduce distress and address the biological causes of gender dysphoria rather than "subjective symptoms." This, in turn, may help to prevent conditions related to gender dysphoria, such as depression and suicide, he said.

The theory could also lead to gender dysphoria being treated without using invasive and irreversible gender reassignment surgery, Gliske told Newsweek. - :applause:

Gliske said: "This new multisense theory of gender dysphoria connects the experience of gender dysphoria with the function of the associated brain regions and networks.

uneducated people like OP make posts like this as if its a revelation. Theres key differences in the brain of stupid people and smart people. is that a problem to fix for stupid people? if so then you should go see a doctor.

There is a cure for your condition, Nate. Don't give up. Stay strong.

[CelticBaller]

Yes, they

[Draz]

Yes, they're mentally ill

[sammichoffate]

[QUOTE=CelticBaller]Yes, they

[Shogon]

Ah, yes. Of course, they do.

And of course it isn't their fault. But someone being attracted to children isn't their fault either. Doesn't make it any more acceptable or correct, because it isn't. We shouldn't entertain their mental illness and play along with their make believe reality because they were born ****ed up. It's like... I'm sorry you're that way, but no, it's not normal.

Gays are on the same spectrum, they're just a lot closer to baseline. Of course, if I say that, people will say I'm full of hate... it's like, uh, no, you just have a disorder. Being gay is absolutely a disorder much in a similar way that being trans or being sexually attracted to children is. Well, being sexually attracted to children is almost undoubtedly exclusively environmental whilst gays and trans can be environmental or natural but I'd be interested to see if there's any data to the contrary. Nevertheless...

It may be who you are and there may be no cure and I have no actual true disdain for you because I am 100% able to recognize that it's not your fault and you didn't choose where you're at, but at the end of the day, you're ****ed up. Life isn't fair.

But just because life isn't fair doesn't mean we mold society around these people which is the world we find ourselves in.

To clarify, I don't think gays or trans can be "cured" with any type of "therapy" or any such nonsense. In some cases, maybe. But I'd wager that most of them are hard wired to be that way through no fault of their own or anyone around them.

But that doesn't mean their behavior isn't degenerate... because it absolutely is.

Acting on your attraction to a child will obliterate that child's life. Two gay or trans adults acting on their attractions hurts no one. They aren't comparable for that reason.

Why not? We know some humans are born handicapped and we try to help them out in different ways.

I guess the bigger question is....wtf are some of you so scared of??? That they are going to make YOU trans? As shown in the OP, they are born with a condition, they can't turn you trans dude. We can't help who we are sexually attracted to, no one can change that for us, that's not how hormones work.

I bet most of the people in here that are so overly worried about trans people have never even come across one outside of the fcking internet.

Can you even read? I never said molesting a child wouldn’t be their fault. It would. I’m saying that the feelings are there in the first place IS NOT their fault in the same way that gays and trans aren’t at fault.



Why not? We know some humans are born handicapped and we try to help them out in different ways.

Comparing physical disabilities with emotional ones isn’t fair. Also, physical disabilities don’t detrimentally impact the rest of society with nonsensical fairytales and psychological degradation with the whole “everything and anything goes” mentality.

It’s like you didn’t read my post at all. I’m not blaming them you illiterate clown but the fact remains that they have a disorder. But I’m also not going to pretend that they are something they’re not because of their feelings.


I bet most of the people in here that are so overly worried about trans people have never even come across one outside of the fcking internet.

There’s nothing to say other than you’re an ignorant reality denying liberal or a complete ****** yourself.

[~primetime~]

They know they are not 'normal' shogun. That's why their suicide rate is so high. Imagine if you in your current mind state was trapped in a girl's body, it would be awful. That's the reality for these people.

They don't need you to pretend they are 'normal'. They just want acceptance. Maybe stop calling them "*****"...:confusedshrug:

[warriorfan]

Did it really take a scientific study to conclude these people have brain damage?

I don't know much about the surgery or what that entails, but I can't imagine it would mentally wipe clean childhood memories. I also can't imagine all the body parts are 'normal'.

Another part of their torment is that family members won't accept them. Surgery isn't going to suddenly get them the love they desperately need from their parents. Most of them simply have nobody in their lives that care about them, they are largely rejected by society, as seen in this thread.

But that's the problem and that's why their "community" or whatever you want them call them face backlash. Same goes for their supporters. They want everyone to accept them. But how can we accept a lie? A delusion? I certainly will not recognize someone as a different gender other than the gender and sex they were born as. To "accept" them is to deny Science. Accepting them for who they pretend to be only creates two liars as opposed to one.

If the people who hated them weren’t so mentality fvcked up to the point where these retards were getting killed, society wouldn’t be trying to mold us into acceptance the way they currently trying to. We must also blame the assholes that have no self control because they are equally retards, just on the other end of the spectrum.

You just literally posted an article showing that they are born this way and SCIENCE says so.

It's not a delusion or a lie...these people are real. You pretending they aren't real would be the lie. You can "not accept" them all you want to but that isn't going to make them go away. It's just going to make the situation worse.



IMO....we need MORE gays/trans...population control. We are at 7.7 Billion and growing. Forests are burning down at epic rates to make room for all of us and the billions of farmed animals we eat. It's not going to last forever. We need more people born with this disorder to slow it down.

[CelticBaller]

Lmao gay people are not a form of birth control when they themselves adopt children or even do artificial insemination


oh and btw the earth is getting greener by every year, so we're fine on that end

I acknowledge that they have a medical condition, but I will not acknowledge their belief that they are a different gender. There's a difference.

Mentally they ARE a different gender. As shown by your own article.

Put yourself in their shoes...let's say tomorrow you wake up with girl parts...well this is a huge problem assuming you're attracted to women. You probably don't want to spend the rest of your life wearing dresses and pretending to love dick in an afford to make society happy. So your options are to have surgery and make people like Pat Chewing angry, or kill yourself.

:lol

So essentially you're saying that because THEY believe they are a different gender, that I/WE/THE REST OF THE WORLD have to accept that? That while I'm biologically looking at a MALE (has a **** and a set of balls), the fact that HE thinks HE'S a female now, that I have to play along with this??

The problem these people have is that they do not seek mental help themselves, and we live in a society nowadays that champions this type of behavior versus addressing how dangerous it truly is.

Actually, yes you do have to accept that...that's the way it is.

You can pretend the world is Pleasantville...but reality isn't black and white

Okay let's focus on this...what exactly is the 'danger' you fear here? Like accepting these people who are a tiny fraction of society is going to be the death of us all?

Yikes, man. Yikes.

[RRR3]

I get why some people struggle to understand trans people. I do as well at times.

But like primetime said, these people just want to be accepted for who they are...they cannot control the way their brains work.

[coin24]

Their suicide rate doesn't decline once they've undergone gender reassignment surgery; proving that no matter what body they're "trapped in", it doesn't help their mental illness.

Bingo.

The worst part of this is the genuine ones that struggle day to day with those issues, you have to feel sorry for them. Mental illness isn't a joke.

The main problem as usual is the biggest idiots have the loudest voices. The so called trans and lefty **** activists pushing this moronic narrative on everyone else that it's normal and fine. Then you have grubs that claim to be a "woman" now after a few weeks on hormones and try to see gynaecologist or female waxing salons etc and call for them publicly to be fired when they don't accept this fool as a female:facepalm

These same morons would be the ones pushing trans in female sports. Check out the South Park episode board games for a hilarious take on this:lol

That sounds like a personal problem though. The world is not fair. When will humanity realize this and that when you try to make it fair, bad shit happens.
It doesn't matter if someone will all their limbs is saying the world is not fair or if someone with no limbs is saying the world is not fair, in both cases, the fact remains the same.

Mental illness isn't corrected with an operation. We can stop pretending that it is, and no one is going to stand by and let the ignorant keep playing pretend.

This is true (sorry for bullying you btw bro)

I try to look at it from a parents perspective. I immediately feel empathy for trans people and the parents

Until theres a way to change people from thinking they're a different gender, empathy and acceptance is the only way

[Patrick Chewing]

Yes, we must accept these people as normal, rational thinking human beings.
