What true trans actually means, unironically.

kinda goes to your post about getting information on " trans" & one poster saying history is good & all but who cares?? They went on to mention Stonewall, but Stonewall wasnt anything to do with trans. Urban Legend has it that a gay guy in drag threw a heel starting off the Stonewall protests which was about gays, notably gay men, not trans.. but then that also shows the general perception of trans.

There are kids at age 3/4 /5 after they learn to communicate that tell mom & dad they are not a boy or girl when mom & dad calls them a boy or girl. They are pretty adamant about it, which is very apparent to mom & dad. Are they " trutrans"?? Some say yes. Some say that unless this type of gender dysphoria presents itself this way, anyone else is not " truly trans".

& some say its just a phase & kids do go thru developmental phases. Lots of clinical studies following kids for years, on non gendered schools & parents letting kids figure things out themselves , mostly European, that prove this out. In Sweden, greater than 50% of kids in non gendered households & schools by the age of 18, tend to choose their natal gender/sex.That Swedish study was supposed to eliminate parental & peer pressure conformity to stereotypical gender norms, to better understand how individuals come to comprehend self identity during informative years from birth onward.

what is consistently found is inconsistency. there are boys ages 3 & up who love everything stereotypically feminine, from clothes to makeup who dont change genders in the classical sense, seek SRS surgery. There are girls who love everything boys who dont change genders in the classical sense, seek SRS. There are some that do. its very individualistic even without any parental & peer influence on behavior.
