    Why does anyone give a shit what Sylvia Plath, a woman who died before being trans was even legal, thinks about what it means to be a girl?

    Also, she committed suicide herself, so I have no idea why you think she’s a good person to bring up.

    Also, I think it’s hilarious you’re bringing up genetics in one comment as a definition of a woman and then bringing up a fucking poet as the definer in this one.

      She lived in a different time: I’m sure if many of Gen Z lived in her time, a few of them might consider suicide; and my point is the gender dysphoria among girls might be due to sexism that’s still in society: hence the cure might not be becoming a boy, but rather reduce the sexism.

          She said being a girl, or female, can be restraining, particularly over 50 years ago.

            You claimed to know how to “cure” transgender people (it’s not an illness, you’re being a bigot). What is the science you are using?

              I’ve made no claims of a cure for gender dysphoria, I only question if all of those who are deemed to have it actually have it.

              Why do people have bulimia? Is the basis of it psychological or sociological?

              IIUC, Lebanese women take a disproportionate amount of drugs to relieve stress. Is this some quirk among these women?

                Based on what scientific evidence?

                Also, you did make a claim about a cure, why are you lying?

                hence the cure might not be becoming a boy, but rather reduce the sexism.

          No.

          I’m presuming that we have sexism in our society and it’s affecting girls at least somewhat, but hey, what do I know?
