I don't know how much biology you know...HI RT! I don't know how much biology you know but surely brain development is part of biology, or "reality." And if the hormones in the womb don't affect the Central Nervous System in development as they would if I was male, yet the hormones in the womb in charge of body development read "male" then you have the dichotomy that is a female transsexual... one is mind biology one is body -- but both are biology -- they just create, what <br />might be to you and others, two absolutly different systems -- one male and one female in the same body. (which is exactly btw how Genesis describes humanity made in God's image -- "Male AND female" not "Male OR female." IF I understand your comment "reality" to you is the body only; to me it is the mind and soul too...but you have to understand that both mind AND body are biologically based, both are biological reality.

One is immutable and the other is pliable, right? On the one hand, the biological seems fixed -- and gender is really no factor. On the other hand, gender is a social construct. But, at the bottom, the biology is the reality, but the psychology is the illusion. You see, as an outsider with little understanding of your issues, I think the paradox is the unsolvable problem. Right? Then how does a person sensibly go about resolving the paradox? I argue that there can be no resolution -- no matter how much you would wish to impose a resolution. Right? After all, reality is reality, and an illusion is an illusion. Right? I hope my thinking and questioning is not offensive. But I remain convinced that reality cannot be altered. Illusions, on the other hand, are another matter.R.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13220814349193561823noreply@blogger.com
