Ponsonby Britt posted:What exactly is a "fundamental" difference? How large does a difference in brain structure have to be to be counted as "fundamental", and must it be present from birth, or can it develop as a child is socialized into society? I'm not aware of any feminists who would deny the empirical fact of dimorphism,* but to say that this difference is "fundamental" implies a value judgment about its importance. Some feminists might say that the empirical differences are too small to be considered "fundamental". Some feminists might say that the differences are large enough to be considered, but are the product of socialization and are thus transient and changeable rather than "fundamental". Some feminists might say that sexual dimorphism in brain structures is "fundamental", and that society should recognize and account for these differences. Yeah, I thought from what I've read that verifiable differences between the brains of men and women consist of a spectrum, rather than a strict "male brain/female brain" dichotomy. Mercury_Storm posted:Gender dysphoria is when one believes they are living in the wrong gender role that society has assigned to them as a result of their birth sex, and naturally stems from someone with body dysphoria, but not necessarily so. Even a person with body dysphoria might reject the notion of being required to perform in a masculine or feminine manner, regardless of their present physical sex. The concept of "gender disphoria" (as opposed to body disphoria) disturbs me. If someone feels content with their body, but feels that they were born into the wrong gender role, isn't the problem with gender roles, rather than that the individual was born the "wrong" gender?
