They have an even stronger drive to change behaviours to match whatever the stereotypical behaviours are of their preferred sex are in their culture. The physical sex change stuff could be downstream of that, and in fact the lack of people who change physical sex without changing behaviours (e.g. dress) points strongly in that direction.
Which could easily mean its not hardwired.
- MontyCarloHall 4y agoI don’t know about that. There’s a huge difference between simply not conforming to stereotypical gender roles (e.g. being a tomboy) and having full blown gender dysphoria (e.g. getting gender reassignment surgery). People in the latter camp literally feel that they were born into the wrong body; people in the former camp simply don’t conform to behavioral stereotypes.
- concordDance 4y agoI agree with the literal wording of your reply but disagree with the connotation. The vast majority of trans people don't get surgery and basically no one (I don't know of a even one case) gets surgery without socially transitioning.
