DNA is not like computer code. We're talking about things like different levels of hormones in the womb encouraging different areas of the brain to develop more so than others.
Nor is everyone either XX or XY. Some trans people have Klinefelter syndrome for example and are XXY.
The assumption that you are making is that a trans woman, i.e. someone born male and changes their body to female, has a male personality. The very reason for them to change is that they have a female personality but a male body.
Also you know that trans men exist right? That is, people assigned female at birth and change their body to be male.
You might want to re-evaluate all your porn-inspired ideas about transsexuals to take into account transmen.
"Nature VS Nurture" demands being put here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_ide..._formation
Quote:Social factors which may influence gender identity include ideas regarding gender roles conveyed by family, authority figures, mass media, and other influential people in a child's life.[21][/url]
Our bodies are very similar to computer code because computer code was invented by humans who tried to copy how their bodies function into iron and steel. The goal of computers can be seen in the field of AI, but that's a different story.
Were trans woman/ trans men influenced to go into the change because of social factors -like stated in the iconic debate of the "Nature vs Nurture":
Quote:The social learning theory posits that children furthermore develop their gender identity through observing and imitating gender-linked behaviors, and then being rewarded or punished for behaving that way,[24] thus being shaped by the people surrounding them through trying to imitate and follow them.[25][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_identity#cite_note-25]
This is interesting. Yes I understand the role of nature in giving trans people a different DNA, but how different was it; really?
I really must know -and I'm not speaking about disorders-: but are transexual women/men are truly born like that, or did the environment change them somehow?
