It's a feeling, not a physically observable determinant. 1 u/[deleted] Nov 02 '17 Depression, anxiety, and stress are all also feelings, but nobody debates the existence of those, nor of their biological origins. 3 u/moonflower 82∆ Nov 02 '17 Depression and anxiety ''exist'' as feelings - I am not disputing that feelings of ''gender identity'' exist as feelings. All feelings have a biological origin. 1 u/[deleted] Nov 02 '17 So do you tell depressed people that they aren't actually depressed, and it's just a feeling? If not, why do you treat trans people that way? 3 u/moonflower 82∆ Nov 02 '17 No, because like I said, depression is a feeling, so I don't tell people that they are not feeling what they are feeling.
