I'M AFRAID OF THE THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND!
So afraid that you didn't even try to search for the studies before you made a thread. They're out there. Lots of them.

Do you believe in a soul separate from the physical body?
Do you believe that the soul can have male, female, or neutral (energy) characteristics?

True .
What about at the spiritual level?
Do souls have a set gender?
Gender is told by sex organs.

I don't understand how anyone that believes in a soul wouldn't be pointing to trans people as proof of a souls existence.
they are literally telling us that whats inside them is different than the body.
What else would be inside them if not a soul?
totally agree.

Intersex is a thing, it's a small percentage but it exists and I certainly wouldn't want to be dealing with it.

totally agree.
Just to expand for others -- I'm sure you'll agree -- forcing anyone to believe or do anything is (almost) always the problem... not just in gender identity matters.
We would ALL be happier and better off if we stopped trying to force anything on anyone.

I think the real question becomes when did gender stop being equal to sex. I'm curious when the definition changed, or have we been using the word incorrectly for decades?
