Comment on If we take physicality out and the tran debate. Doesn't almost everything boil down to a single choice? Like alcohol, tobacco, weed, heroin and other addictives. More inside.

  But you made the choice to go that route instead. You could have seen a doctor or something. I’m not chastising you just saying you had a or multiple choices to make.

    Everything we do is either a response or a reaction to internal or external stimuli. Addiction starts out being a response to say peer pressure but eventually becomes a compulsion to the point in some case that the user cannot live without said drug. In the case of trans people, they know who they are and the choice is how far they are willing to transition. Some don’t do it fully others are more brave or resourceful. In reality, you know who you are, society just attaches labels to people based on external factors but in the long run, a person knows. It is not a choice to know. That is just reality. They did brain scans of trans people. There is a male and female brain and brains that are somewhere on that linear spectrum. I am not really qualified to elaborate further.
