Nature could use a redo on you, that’s for sure. Probably nurture, too.
Is being Trans a choice?

true. It's just way worse now.
Call it seeking glorification for themselves. In other words, perhaps as a biological male a person was indistinguishable. Maybe they thought as a girl they might garner the attention they desire. Maybe just the whole process and the possibility it gets people talking is the motivation?
Look I'm not saying there may not be some people out there who are truly biologically driven toward trans. But to totally dismiss the idea that some people are simply doing it for attention is not practical, especially in the world we live in today.
Okay, this is beyond absurd. Holy shit.
Is your bold type attention-seeking, or were you born bold?
I think you are hilarious, the fact that you claim that what makes a women is NOT hormones and sex organs is pure gold, when that is exactly what makes someone a women.
DID YOU JUST ASSUME MOTHER NATURE'S GENDER YOU INTOLERANT BIGOT!
That might be the stupidest ****in thing you ever said. We have gay animals. OMFG ROFLOA
Nah, I mean, I’d like to be more attractive, taller…. But it is what it is. Why do you embrace the genderqueer odd shit so much but have such disdain for natural order?
Yes. Alligators change sex based entirely on temperature alone when in the egg.
What Determines the Gender of an Alligator?
In most animals, offspring genders are determined by sex chromosomes at the time of conception. But alligators and other crocodilian species, as well as some turtles and lizards, do not have sex chromosomes. Instead, the sex of the young is determined by the temperature at which the eggs...
Other reef fish like Damsels and Clownfish change sex exclusively based on societal structures. Unlike wrasses which are all born female and can change at will (except for certain species with the permanent third sex), the Damsels and Clownfish are all born as male. They stay male until they reach the peak of their pack structure (like wolves they have territories and stay together in clans not schools) and when they become the alpha fish in the structure ie the oldest, biggest and/or best fighter they become females and mate with a large Selam (male harem) of boys to watch over her. It’s not based on mating success like wrasses it’s based on dominance and society pressures.
The common reed frog is an example of a purposeful hermaphrodite. Each from is born intersex with both testicular and ovarian tissue and then they choose which one to activate. They usually choose only once changing from hermaphrodite with both but underdeveloped sexes into one or the other sex. But if the frogs determine that there are too many males, a sexually mature female can grow their testes while shrinking the ovaries and after a short period become essentially males that look no different than those who chose males in the first place. Apparently they can not choose to go from male to female.
Green Banded Gobies another species I keep, seem to change sex based solely on age and size. It’s not societal, they just all start as females and all end up as males.
Getting a knee replacement is a choice; having an arthritic knee is not.
My poll answer was "Yes" but it depends on the definition of "being trans."
If someone feels like they are a man trapped in a woman's body, that feeling may not be a choice. It's like some people that believe they're in a paralyzed body but they're perfectly healthy. (That's a real disorder, BTW.)
Attempting to change one's gender/biological sex, however, IS DEFINITELY a choice.
Humans have all sorts of feelings or urges that we don't act on. For example, today, I was driving and a clueless teenager cut me off and didn't react when I honked at them to avoid an accident.
15 seconds later, I was stopped behind them at a red light. My blood pressure was rising and my blood was slightly boiling.
This feeling was real and I could have acted on it, jumped out of my car, confronted them, flipped out but I chose not to.
So humans may have all sorts of feelings that we don't have to act on.

Well apparently you’re the expert. You go right ahead believing your viewpoint is the only right one. And if you’ve been paying attention I’ve been typing the same way for the better part of a decade. Not planning on stopping cause you don’t approve .
Because I have family and friends and I have gotten to learn from them firsthand about their lives and why they deserve to be embraced just as much as you or I.
And lol at “natural order”.
I’ve already expressed “approval”. You’re so bad at this, bud. You can’t keep track of any of this, all flustered and threatened by it all.
This person is obviously neurotic, delusional, and very clearly mentally ill.
This guise and appropriation of motherhood by this MAN is an insult to all women everywhere!
I’m offended!
You don't have the capacity to comprehend that suffering from gender dysphoria is psychological and not biological yet you call me challenged? Someone is suffering from little man syndrome I believe.
Lol. Go read about hormones and gender identity and sexuality and all that. Internet. Use it.
Like anything, this isn’t one-size-fits-all. For one, gender and gender roles are fluid for everyone. Two, gender identity isn’t necessarily rooted in biology. And three, yes, in many cases, mental health is front and center in gender dysphoria, because gender identity and gender roles are mental and societal constructs. With that said, the mental health angle is complicated and ambiguous, and more of a chicken vs. the egg debate, because feeling your biological sex doesn’t match your gender identity (which, again, is more fluid than many would like to think) would certainly generate a myriad of mental health issues compounded by the fact said person would be confronted by a lot of bigotry and hate.
In short, no, I don’t believe being transgender is a choice per se, but there are many factors in play that get conveniently overlooked by people on both sides of this debate.
My guns do not affect you or anyone else one bit so I am applying this logic to guns.
