They're not though. If you take the average of all males, there's a higher probability, but it's just a probability. It doesn't apply at all to individuals. You can't say "Men as a whole have a biological instinct to kill things for food, so this random dude over here must have that instinct too." Sure, it's slightly more likely, but that doesn't make it true. Eveyone's different in drastic ways.

The only Self Delete rate similar in history is Jews under the national socialists

Are you saying trans people are treated the same way as the Jews were

I think that's a pretty huge conclusion to jump to.

I don't know much about medical/experimental psychology (notice that I've been shying away from talking about any of that during this thread), but I'd imagine that Self Delete rate doesn't linearly correlate with quality of life. For instance, the Self Delete rate among LGBT youth is probably much higher than the Self Delete rate among average people in very poor African countries (no citation on that but I'm almost certain it's right).

I'd imagine that the type of abuse determines Self Delete rate, not just overall quality of life.

The only problem I have with this is how confusing it can be to understand, I'm fine with a man wanting to be called a she or vice versa, but I don't think you can "create" anything to be a gender it like it's a trend, it will only confuse everyone else.

yeah because men are hardwired by genetics to fight over suitable mates.

The males that don't experience that instinct are either defective or haven't had the chance to exercise the need to fight in their life. And by defective, I mean going against the natural/expected hormonal instinct of males.

The fight/flight reaction is not exclusive to males, and even then, how males react to these situations differs drastically between people. You might have one which gets enraged and fights and another who runs away in fear. That's why it's called a "fight or flight" reaction. So again, it's a probability, not a rule.

Not a rule, but a norm. It's really a matter of point of view.

Also I'm fairly certain that the aggressiveness in males is intended primarily for mating. I can cite a source if needed.

From a liberal perspective, yes.

I'd say that's way too narrow a range of feminine characteristics, and I'm guessing you don't actually feel uncomfortable expressing yourself as male day to day.

Also, wearing women's clothing for a day doesn't necessarily mean that you identify with that choice of clothing. You can put on women's clothing for fun without feeling like it's the clothing that 'represents you'. Tons of drag queens do it.
