Am I correct in thinking this is a common thought process throughout the trans population?

My views and emotions typically revolve heavily around Science therefore one may assume that I wouldn't have such vivid thoughts due to the majority of scientists not agreeing with the whole concept of transgenderism.

Look, kid... this is going to be harsh but you need a dose of harshness right about now.

You're sixteen - you know nothing. You are the sixteen year old r/IamVerySmart 'science fan' that real scientists cringe to think of. The reason r/Science turns into such a hellhole every time the mods blink.

Instead of coming here and making flat wrong assertions based on... well, god alone knows what, but we both know you've never read a scientific paper in your entire sixteen years of life, perhaps you should ask for information.

I'll give you some to kick off.

These studies describe the sex-atypical brain-structures found in trans people and which are believed to cause the dysphoria we feel.

So we'll have no more of this made up 'science says', kay?
