      Just because the words are too big for you to understand doesn’t mean what they’re describing isn’t real.

          Because numerous people around the world have been using cutting edge research for decades to study these things, observing their effects in actual people, means that I honestly don’t give a fuck if you “buy the idea”. Your feelings, opinions, and armchair assessments on this topic are worthless.

      When modern scientists accept new understandings of things that is the science

      We’re not in the 50s anymore, we now understand more than we did then.

          So, hormones don’t exist?
          Intersex people don’t exist?
          Trans people don’t exist?
          And what, we’re all either 100% male or 100% female and there is never a grey area in biology?

          Don’t make the conscious decision to remain ignorant, you’re keeping yourself back.

                  Before we get started - really quick, can you summarize your experience in biology? Did you graduate high school? Do you have some form of education/undergraduate degree in a field adjacent to biology? I’d appreciate the clarification - I can explain this at multiple levels and would be happy to tailor make an explanation for whatever level of academic achievement you have accomplished.
