The concept of sex and the concept of gender are the same.

"The presence of the chromosome Y is what differentiates gender, Not both. People with XXX are female, While people with XYY or XXY are male. " This is true, However, These are extreme cases. Let's use this example, In human anatomy class, We're taught that humans have 10 fingers and 10 toes. There are people with 11 fingers, 9 toes, 12 fingers, Etc. . That's the same way we treat these cases. We shouldn't use extremities to prove points in a debate. "Transgender people doesn't think they are the opposite sex. They identify themselves with the social roles of the opposite gender. This point is very important. " If they only identified with the roles of the opposite gender, Then they wouldn't spend up to 50 grand on a surgery to change it. They could just be a feminine male or a masculine female. Also, With the definition that people are using today, What's the opposite of someone who's gender nonbinary? The world may never know. "Your cells have instructions to balance hormones differently, That gives the person female or male traits, Biologically speaking, Not behaviorally. " The point of HRT is to reprogram how your cells balance hormones, But even if a male's cells are programmed to balance hormones like a female, He's still a male because his chromosomes haven't changed. "No study relates being transgender with suicide, You do, And that, S not objective. Studies says that anxiety, Mod and depression caused by rejection by family and friends, Discrimination, Victimization, Violence or the presence of a prevalent mental illnes (that, S not beng transgender) causes this rate of suicide. In fact they are subjected to factors that also affect non transgender people when talking about suicide, Like education, Economic income, Romantic life and social aceptance. " You're wrong. Https://williamsinstitute. Law. Ucla. Edu. . . Try reading the executive summary on page 2. I am aware that this study states that discrimination and other things of that nature increase the rate, But the baseline of OVER 40% is still EXTREMELY high. http://thefederalist. Com. . . I'm aware that the source from "thefederalist. Com" is an objectively biased source, But I still found it to be an interesting read and I think that you will as well. The article below references "the comparatively low black suicide rate" and I found some reliable information on that topic. I'm aware that these are facts based on 2016, But that is the most recent data I could find, Sorry :/. https://www. Suicidology. Org. . . "In fact people can tell when a transgender person has got surgery and discriminate them like before the surgery (page 8 from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention PDF about Suicide Attempts among Transgender and Gender Non-Confirming Adults") Also they have higher suicide rates if they already had a mental illness previously, Something that raises the statistics (p 10)" Yes they can tell, But read the arguments and articles above where I explain why I think that referencing that point is redundant. "Because of my answer on the last sentence, Assuming that society is the problem is still viable. " That isn't a viable claim. "Also you assume that ALL people experience things the same way, And thats wrong. Discrimination does incress the % of attempt of suicide (Page 11)Tables show suicide prevalence from 50% to 78% in those cases. That, Compared to the 40% total (who did suicide) means that the transgender people who have not suffered from discrimination have very low suicide rates (and attempt rates) that lower the media of the suicide percentage by 10% to 38%. That means (by my calculations, Correct me if im wrong on this) transgender who haven, T been discriminated have a suicide rate NOT of 40% BUT between 30% and 2%, Being the media of 15%, The NORMAL suicide rate. " You just said that the median of the suicide percentage to 38%, Which is just under the 40% baseline I stated. Also read the articles above. "The conclusion is that being transgender has still not being proved objectively to be a mental illness. " Of course it hasn't been 100% proven, That's part of what I'm arguing here. I'm arguing that it's a mental illness, Not something that should be adhered to/respected, But cured. Thanks for the decent arguments Con, I appreciate the acceptance and willingness to participate :D
