Let’s Talk Biology Again

.......if the mother, during pregnancy for some reason has hormonal interactions that change the basic hormonal ratios away from the median described above, you can get a child whose brain develops one way then their body develops another. Not enough testosterone in weeks 8-16 then returning to median hormonal ratios for weeks 16 and onward? Transgender child with a female brain and male body. Too much testosterone in weeks 8-16 then returning to median hormonal ratios for weeks 16 and onward? Transgender child with male brain and female body.


Liz, like me, believes in researching the science behind why we are the way we are.  This post, however, is not only directed towards the trans community, but also towards the non-believers who base their conclusions on religious beliefs over the facts found via scientific research.  She quotes many studies in her post, some fairly recent.

  1. Is it not a scientific fact that religious zealots do not have rational thought processes?

  2. The function of my original post was to demonstrate that the science is on the side of the transgender community. This disarms the pseudo-science arguments made by people, when those arguments are really nothing except cover for religious bigotry (or other types of bigotry).

    Once they realize they can no longer hide behind pseudo-science and claim it is "truth", they are reduced to facing their base bigotry, and either agreeing to reconsider it or entrenching themselves clearly in it, which often drives off undecideds who are also reading such exchanges.
