But isn’t the mind just another part of the body?The body works fine in this case, but instead of addressing the mind, we cut up the body.

Yes, this is the current narrative. This is what is being taught as our best understanding of the problem. But really, we don’t understand the problem. And prior to the last 10 years or so, the vast majority of us were taught something else. And there are dissenting opinions on this within the fields of medicine and psychology. This is not settled science, as if there really is such a thing. This is the current view of a prominent and influential group who study this phenomenon. It is folly to assume that there is no agenda here or that we have a firm understanding of what occurs in these individuals.As someone who has literally been paid to teach gender and sex ed; gender and sex are two different things. Sex is the physiological nature of the body, and which even then we find sex often lies on a spectrum with people falling outside of the usual male/female XX/XY dichotomies. Gender is the social manner of acting out masculine or feminine roles, often associated with ones sex.
