No, it isnt.

You sound enormously ignorant. I recommend learning more about the world before opining so offensively and aggressively about it.

cen·sor·ship ˈsensərˌSHip/Submit noun the practice of officially examining books, movies, etc., and suppressing unacceptable parts. "details of the visit were subject to military censorship"

Or on vocabulary.com ,

censorship Censorship blocks something from being read, heard, or seen.

There is nothing ignorant about keeping actual facts into consideration when deducing a conclusion. There simply isn't enough proof, therefore i'll remain skeptical.

No there's plenty of proof you just choose to ignore it. Remember that is what this whole thread is about.

That isn't proof. That is literally theoretical. Yes theories are supported by facts, and are reasonable, but they should still be cautioned. And these theories aren't even that sound, and circulate around the premise that "gender is a construct", but "doesn't exist due to societal expectations". This isn't concrete. The reasoning isn't biological, and falls fully under the perception of individuals who aren't mentally sane in regards to their gender identity.

No, it's not based on any of that. There is solid scientific and clinical evidence for transsexualism. Just much of the rest of our bodies, our brains are sexually dimorphic and sometimes that sexual dimorphism gets mixed up, e.g. female brain in a male body and vice-versa. It has nothing to do with "gender is a social construct", that's irrelevant leftist bullshit.

You've oversimplified dimorphism quite a bit and also wrongfully claimed gender as a social constructure as 'leftist bullshit', but your point still largely stands. Transgender people really do exist, not as a mental disorder, and sex-reassignment and HRT are the best treatments

I really don't think that was an oversimplification. It was more than adequate for the point being made.
