Just a baby non-binary trans woman. I like videogames, work remotely in Data Science... I still haven't received the rest of my trans starter pack: my programmer socks, mini-skirt and Blåhaj. In the middle of converting into a feisty costarican latina.

I call you ignorant, because hijra behave like trans women but you're too stupid to recognize them because they don't use the same name: "... the Zananapan school of thought has followers who may be born biologically male but identify with being a woman through their appearance and lifestyle."
A qualitative, interview-based study found that those who fall under the umbrella of being hijra tend to identify with certain 'schools of thought', including Khusrapan and Zananapan. These terms refer to categories of hijra functioning. Those who follow Khusrapan identify with being a hermaphrodite, denouncing sex work while believing that the ancient practices of bestowing prayers and blessings are to be depended on for sustenance. In contrast, the Zananapan school of thought has followers who may be born biologically male but identify with being a woman through their appearance and lifestyle. They often turn to begging or sex work as a consequence of social exclusion. Many transfeminine activists in Indian communities reject being considered as a third gender, saying that it's a term that is assigned to trans women even if they do not consider themselves a third gender.

In the conclusion, they literally said that they're proposing a NEW sub category of gender dysphoria. YES, I know more about the science of ROGD. Show me the links to the 50% claim or else you're a liar.
Conclusion

This descriptive, exploratory study of parent reports provides valuable detailed information that allows for the generation of hypotheses about factors that may contribute to the onset and/or expression of gender dysphoria among AYAs. Emerging hypotheses include the possibility of a potential new subcategory of gender dysphoria (referred to as rapid-onset gender dysphoria) that has not yet been clinically validated and the possibility of social influences and maladaptive coping mechanisms. Parent-child conflict may also explain some of the findings. More research that includes data collection from AYAs, parents, clinicians and third party informants is needed to further explore the roles of social influence, maladaptive coping mechanisms, parental approaches, and family dynamics in the development and duration of gender dysphoria in adolescents and young adults.

Next time, they'll revise history and say that Carolyne Bryant was a victim in the Emmet Till lynching.
Till was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. During summer vacation in August 1955, he was visiting relatives near Money, Mississippi, in the Mississippi Delta region. Till spoke to 21-year-old Carolyn Bryant, the white, married proprietor of a local grocery store. Although what happened at the store is a matter of dispute, Till was accused of flirting with, touching, or whistling at Bryant. Till's interaction with Bryant, perhaps unwittingly, violated the unwritten code of behavior for a black male interacting with a white female in the Jim Crow–era South. Several nights after the encounter, Bryant's husband Roy and his half-brother J. W. Milam went to Till's great-uncle's house armed, and abducted Till, age 14. They beat and mutilated him before shooting him in the head and sinking his body in the Tallahatchie River.

The attack against the "enemy" was, in fact, a genocide.
During the campaign, conventional weapons including explosives, incendiary bombs, and napalm were used to destroy nearly all of North Korea’s villages, towns, and cities. 18 out of North Korea’s 22 major cities were at least 50% destroyed. The U.S. dropped approximately 635,000 tons of bombs and 32,557 tons of napalm during the war, mostly on North Korea (compared to 503,000 tons in the entire Pacific theater in World War II). According to a Chosun Ilbo report in 2001, a report by the Soviet ambassador and chief military adviser to North Korea, Lt. Gen. V. N. Razuvaev, estimated 282,000 North Korean deaths due to the bombing campaign.

Dude! You, and the authors, are repeating a conservative idea: "Luxury belief". It even has a Wikipedia page. You're being fooled and don't realize it because the authors used the word "working class" in a group of people that isn't "working class".
"It's about understanding that people need a sense of personal and economic security before they will support the changes progressives are calling for," the authors write."Luxury belief" is a term coined by the American writer Rob K. Henderson to describe beliefs which "confer status on the upper class at very little cost, while often inflicting costs on the lower classes". Individuals holding luxury beliefs are described as privileged and disconnected from the experiences of working class, impoverished, or marginalized people. Such individuals are considered to hold political and social beliefs that signal their elite status; these beliefs are putatively for the benefit of the marginalized but have negative impacts on them.

What constitutes a luxury belief is contested, and the term in general is. considered to be controversial It is used predominantly by conservative political commentators to describe various left-wing and liberal views, portraying them as being predominantly held by the privileged, and out of touch with the working class that they claim to support.

And then the researcher says that the reframing needs to come from a "genuine place of trying to reach across the class divide" or risk being seen as manipulative when, in fact, the researchers REALLY are selling it to progressives as a temporary manipulation of the working class.
When they framed climate initiatives around creating jobs, addressing rising energy costs, reducing pollution and countering China, they got much more support from working-class voters than asking if they support "major investments in energy efficiency and cleaner power to reduce pollution and address the climate crisis even if this raises the cost of energy a little."

But, the paper warns, working-class reframing only works if it comes from a genuine place of trying to reach across the class divide, or it risks being seen as elites trying to manipulate non-elites.

I have Kallman Syndrome and that means me and people assigned AMAB would not look masculine because we don't have testosterone. Is just recently that the psycological impact of that has been measured and recognized.
A scientific article titled:

"Psychological Aspects of Congenital Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism*

Abstract:

Congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism/Kallmann syndrome (CHH/KS) is a rare, treatable form of infertility. Like other rare disease patients, individuals with CHH/KS frequently experience feelings of isolation, shame, and alienation. Unlike many rare diseases, CHH/KS is not life threatening and effective treatments are available. Nevertheless, it remains a profoundly life-altering condition with psychosocial distress on a par with untreatable or life-limiting disease.

Now the author said that is important to asses the affectation to cis-women (adult and teens) and gay-men spaces by the inclusion of trans people to judge the morality of trans inclusion. I noticed the important omission of cis-women entering cis-men spaces, a central action of feminism. 7/?
How to proceed in assessing the moral status of transwomen’s claims to be women? One approach would be to consider all/any interests plausibly affected by transwomen’s claims to be women. That might include gay men’s interests when, as a result of men’s claims to be women being accepted, women’s claims to be men are also accepted, and adult human females claiming to be men start using gay men’s spaces like the sauna. Or, it might include children and adolescent girls’ interests when adult human males claiming to be women start using the women’s bathrooms and changing rooms.

Sorry, is not a mistery why inclusion is better than other conceptions of gender: prevents discrimination of trans woman and trans men and protects them from sexism. Also the 'trans activists' also try not to enforce a specific account of gender, because iare against its enforcement. 6/?
Those who are trans-inclusive aim to use ‘woman’ in a way that respects trans people’s self-identifications, so does not count as women females who do not identify as women, and does count as women males who do identify as women. The intended outcomes of their use of gender terms is clear: inclusion, affirmation, acceptance. What their account of gender is, or what they think is wrong with alternative accounts, is more mysterious.

I would said "confabulation" is better, the wikipedia article make a good explanation why.
In the field of artificial intelligence (AI), a hallucination or artificial hallucination (also called bullshitting, confabulation, or delusion) is a response generated by AI that contains false or misleading information presented as fact. This term draws a loose analogy with human psychology, where a hallucination typically involves false percepts. However, there is a key difference: AI hallucination is associated with erroneously constructed responses (confabulation), rather than perceptual experiences

And if you continue a policy made by Nazis, you're fucking Nazis.
The Nazis didn’t let the story end there. Karl Ritter von Halt, a member of the International Olympic Committee and a registered member of the Nazi Party, decided it was time for sports to get more explicit about keeping intersex people out of sports. On Nov. 21, 1938, just a month after Ratjen’s arrest, von Halt suggested that World Athletics introduce a new policy requiring all women competitors to prove their sex. Von Halt thought that all “ladies taking part in the Games 1940 shall produce doctors’ certificates stating that they are women.”

A decade later, when the Olympics returned following the end of World War II, von Halt’s policies were in full force. In 1948, suddenly, women could only compete at the Olympics if they provided a note from their doctor “verifying” their sex. In other words, these policies—and the rigid notions of biological sex that animate them—come directly from Nazi officials.

Human shields are legally protected persons—either protected civilians or prisoners of war—who are either coerced or volunteer to deter attacks by occupying the space between a belligerent and a legitimate military target. The use of human shields is forbidden by Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions. It is also a specific intent war crime as codified in the Rome Statute, which was adopted in 1998. The language of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court prohibits "utilizing the presence of a civilian or other protected person to render certain points, areas, or military forces immune from military operations".
