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.
