When a trans activist says that they were born into the wrong body, what part of them was put into the wrong body?

Removing for rule 2.

This would be better suited for s/GenderCritical, s/GenderCriticalGuys, or s/ThereAreTwoGenders

LOL, yeah. The Church of the Righteous Ma'am. They shout in tongues in Game Stop stores, baptize themselves in Summers Eve, and pray for stigmata between their legs, the mark of the Holy Pussy. Give alms to my PayPal, heretic, or St. Kewtgurl shall strike you dead with her fiery baseball bat.

I've never casually run across a trans treatment of the mind-body problem. Maybe it's the wrong mind in the right body, huh?

It's definitely the brain. The tiny brain of a pre-historic, primitive organization with no logical thought process was accidentally born into the body of a 21st century human. It's very sad and tragic, can we get a "y'all are valid" up in here?

i think there's two camps. truscum will argue the concept of brain sex and having a "boy brain" or a "girl brain" until they're red in the face. they're less likely to say "born in the wrong body" as much as that their brains and bodies mismatch, and since it's impossible to change their "brain sex", they have to change their "body sex" in order to correct the mismatch.

tucutes say all sorts of things from believing in mystical gender feelings to believing there's no such thing as gender feelings so anyone can identify as anything. considering this is the "a definition of a woman is a woman" crowd it's no surprise they have no consistent platform or logic.

I have a tiger's brain and was born in a human body. It really sucks but I've got $25 on my GoFundMe so far for my feline affirming health care.

The government should required to supply you with large amounts of raw meat.

There are many people who claim that trans people were born "in the wrong body" because of a misunderstanding about research on brain differences between the sexes. But that difference disappears when you control for homosexuality; it's not driven by transgenderism. (And anyway, these are differences in group averages, it's not like there's a "man brain" and a "woman brain" in the first place.)

But the idea of being born in the wrong body implies that there is a non-corporeal part of you independent of the body. Specifically a part of you that existed before you were born, since they say "BORN INTO the wrong body", which eliminates the argument that they are talking about their brains somehow.

Yeah, that really is a religious belief. Makes me wonder whether, in the US anyway where all this bullshit is at the most extreme, people are just using their beliefs in transgender ideology as a substitute for religion.

I think people fail to understand that the decline in organized religion does not necessarily equate to a decline in people who need to believe in something like that.

Many Americans just replaced crosses with crystals and special snowflake connections to a higher power with special snowflake mental conditions.

It's extremely telling that the trans Community has had such a hard push to lift the stigma of self-diagnosis. Especially since most of these people have already self diagnosed themselves with everything else under the sun.
