I'm sure there's a wide variety of differences like this among trans girls and women, and they don't all show up in the same ways. But there is something there and it can have a big impact on our lives.

I want people like me to be better understood just like I would for any difference, not just so we can be more accepted but so that our needs—social, medical, emotional—can be better met.

This is also why I prefer a definition of "transsexual" as something like the sibling of being intersex, something constitutional. Not as the only definition that everyone has to identify with, but at least as one definition. It still proves the best way for me to understand myself.

interesting. thank you very much for making this thread. it doesn't much line up with my self-conceptions wrt transness, but i can definitely see why people might prefer this model now

I think it’s less common these days

that makes sense, the people i know who mentioned favoring a biological view of transness have generally been much older than me. i ended up being sort of put off by their arguments because they didn't carve out space for my friends and i. thank you for doing that!
