Why do transgenders say they are a different gender when their DNA still says they are the same gender as they were born as?

You do realise there are over 45 chromosomes human combanations, transexaulism is just one more intersex condition, ALL of these people have gender, xx and xy does not define gender or gender identity..

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,

before you were born I set you apart;

I appointed you as a prophet to the nations

Jeremiah 1:5

BORN THAT WAY, TRANSGENDERED...

"Why do transgenders say they are a different gender when their DNA still says they are the same gender as they were born as?"

Because when it comes to intersex people and transsexual people, biological sex is irrelevant.

Some information for you:

Most people are born with a gender identity in their brain that matches the sex of their body, transsexual people are not. That's what transsexualism is, a birth condition. This leads to a life of pain and misery as their body feels profoundly wrong and nobody ever sees them as the person they truly are. Transsexual people transition (aka "sex change") to affirm their inborn gender identity by changing their body to match and assuming a gender appropriate role in society.

Transsexualism is a scientifically proven congenital birth condition.

No, their DNA doesn't say they identify as the gender they were assigned at birth. This is called an equivocation fallacy; using two different meanings of something interchangeably. You can't just switch what you're referring too half way through an argument. Trans people don't claim to have different chromosomes to what they actually do have.

That depends on the particular transgendered person. You cannot change dna - but note, some trans people are XXY or XXXY - so their dna - its really very very confused as to what gender they are.

Because DNA still doesn't determine gender identity, no matter how many times you trolls try to repeat that ancient lie.

"transexaulism is just one more intersex condition,"

-No it isn't. It's a mental problem, like BDD. Intersex conditions arise from a chromosomal disorder most of the time or an inability to process hormones correctly. Trans have no such problem, it's purely psychological.

"Nope. BIID and gender dysphoria are not similar:"

Um, that is a blog. It's practically a tumblr. And they are completely similar despite her claims to the contrary. She is playing semantics

"Transsexualism is a scientifically proven physical birth condition"

-You claim it is in the "programming" of the brain, which would make it entirely psychological - not physical. If it were physical differences in the brain, it could be observed through scans of the brain. You also claimed there were "male" and "female" brains which has been shown to be false.

"This leads to a life of pain and misery as their body feels profoundly wrong and nobody ever sees them as the person they truly are. "

-This is BDD. The body you were born in is the person you truly are.

" And the studies that show transsexual brains have similarities to other people of their identified gender."

-The brain doesn't have a sex, stop telling lies. All peoples' brains have similarities... just like gay males have similarities with heterosexual females, which doesn't mean gay males have "female brains".

"Convenient how you ignored the second half of the dysphoria equation."

-Um, no - that's the BDD. Yours is just towards your male body.

"Try to dismiss it as a blog, but the information is concise and accurate, which is why I use it."

-It's verbal vomit, pure opinion and no fact.

"I know you can't, so you've already lost."

-Grow up.
