Proof please, you can't just say something like that without offering proof to your claim.

"Can't"? Really? 'Cause it seems to me that they already did....
However, by the same logic and for the same reasons you applied, you should have offered your own evidence and/or proof, rather than a cowardly challenge with nothing substantive offered.
If you have documented data or some information that contradicts the assertions in the comment, or even OP, you can certainly post such information here for everyone's perusal and consideration. It would be most welcome.
Whatcha got?
I never made any claim there smartguy...

The op has made several good points backed with facts.
Do you really want to know my opinion on this topic? I
will give you some hints of my background...I am a 64
year old conservative,Bible believing granny.I have no
fear of homosexuals or transgenders unless they start
shooting at me for my beliefs.I recently decided to keep
my feelings and opinions to myself,I will make you an
exception.
One last thing...the rainbow belongs to God!
...you're beliefs are not held by everyone and they are unprovable so you don't really have a lot of ground to stand on making that claim...

How about stop being an idiot.
I specifically asked for that one poster to prove their specific claims and did not say the OP and his claims were wrong.
Stop changing the goal posts and stick to what I asked about what they posted.
You seem to be special... maybe ask an able minded person to help you out and reply for you.
The hunt for the âtransgender brainâ is just as fraught as the quest to find a âgay gene.â
Neither will give way to lasting acceptance for LGBT people. And because there are bound to be outliers and exceptions to any rule, neither will ever definitively answer why some kids grow up straight and others queer, some cisgender and others transgender.
Whatâs more is that both have the potential to be exploited: One need only consult the history of doctors trying to lobotomize or shock homosexuality out of existence to realize the dangers of tying LGBT identity to a specific part of the brain or a stretch of DNA.
âDespite scientific evidence to the contrary, polling demonstrates that 21 percent of Americans think that this population has a mental illness, and 39 percent think being transgender is a choice,â the Inverse article begins. âScience repeatedly refutes these views, and new research⌠shows even further evidence that transgenderism has biological roots.â
But therein lies the problem: If science has indeed ârepeatedly refutedâ the idea that being transgender is a choice, and yet Americans still overwhelmingly have easily-disproven conceptions about transgender people, then more âevidenceâ probably wonât matter all that much when it comes to cultural acceptance.
Brains scans show Transgender brains resemble desired gender from early age, that is science backed with hard data.
Blanchardâs prediction follows from studies that have repeatedly shown that the homosexual male-to-female transsexuals are âfemale-shiftedâ in multiple, sexually dimorphic characteristics, whereas the heterosexual male-to-female transsexuals are not (Blanchard, 1989a, 1989b). For example, homosexual male-to-female transsexuals are sexually attracted to natal males, express greater interest in female-typical activities (even in childhood), and are naturally effeminate in mannerism. In contrast, heterosexual male-to-female transsexuals are indistinguishable from nontranssexual natal males on these variables. The heterosexual transsexuals are still distinct from typical males in other ways, however, such as by manifesting âautogynephiliaââthe erotic interest in or sexual arousal in response to being or seeming female. The consistent detection of cross-sex features among homosexual male-to-female transsexuals, but not among heterosexual male-to-female transsexuals, led Blanchard to predict that the cross-sex pattern would also emerge at the level of brain anatomy and be limited to the homosexual male-to-female transsexuals. That prediction now appears to be the case, with Rametti et al. (2010) supporting his prediction for the homosexual transsexuals, and Savic and Arver (2010), for the heterosexual transsexuals.
I can use the interweb too to find data that supports my existence.
Care to retort with anything that refutes this other than opinion?
The other article points out how even if science validates us people like you still won't accept it and so the cycle of abuse and hate continues because "They're different and that scares me."
