I was watching this fascinating video lecture by a neurobiology professor and the brain regions that are dimorphic and are correlated with expressions of male and female gender alignment; but the comments devolved on accusations of "trans medicalism". My assumption is that this is an accusation of boiling down transgenderism to sex-characteristics as expressed through the brain, and the possibility of "testing" that would deny transgenderness if the person doesn't have these correlating sizes previously identified in research.
Am I missing something?
transmedicalism is the reduction of the experience of being trans to a series of medical operations that alter the individual from one sex to the other. this is a nonsensical bigotry that is confounded in social consciousness partly because of a few high profile trans advocates of transmedicalism like buck angel. being trans is of course a complex expression of gender relative to social norms and one's assigned gender at birth. so-called "biological sex" is also not a thing that exists to cleanly separate male and female.
