I dissagree. I don't think that somebody feeling as if they're a male mean they have a males mindset. It's one thing to act like a male, but thinking like a male is different.
Yes, but it would be a fake male mind set, which is what I said originally. I'm not sure if these hormones make them have the male mind set 100%, either. I may be wrong, though.
I don't agree with that bit. Sure it is a sad thing that they were born in the body of the gender they don't want to be, but I don't think they can be exactly like the gender they're not but want to be, there are too many differences between the two genders to just turn one in to a man to a real woman, and the same in reverse.
I agree, I shouldn't of said it as truth, bu I do believe what I said to be true.
I believe there is truth. There are physical differences between the female and male brain, so if one is a woman's brain, she is a woman, etc.
Wasn't trying to make you feel guilty at all. I was just making it aware that I tried, and regardless of my attempt, you still feel the need to poke at me instead of tell me your opinion that differs from mine without the negative attitude.
While there are some differences between male and female brains on average, it isn't possible to sex ID a brain. There is far too much variation in the general population to make such broad generalizations about sex and brain structure as you appear to believe. Doing so results in harmful, inaccurate stereotypes and also has the effect of erasing transgender and intersex people. The same applies to cognitive styles and variations related to sex. And yes, sex is on a spectrum and it has a bimodal distribution. There are all kinds of variations between what's considered "standard" male and female biology and physiology. And hormone treatments do actually influence emotions and behavior. Hormone exposure in utero as well as an individual's natural endocrine function also influence sex, sexuality, gender ID, and gender expression in life. Sex and gender are not clear-cut; sex and gender are not binary systems, whether you're talking about biology, physiology, psychology, etc.
There is no "male" brain, not is there a "female" brain. Differences on average do not accurately represent the diversity within existing populations.
Is it normal I hate being born female?

You don't understand what androgens are or do, do you?
Rhetorical. I can tell it's another thing you don't know.

And there was me trying to treat you with respect, just for you to try poke at me. Lesson learned.
I don't, which is why I mentioned "But I may be wrong".
