How would you feel if it was proven that your genes caused you to be trans

Honestly, I don't think it would change a lot for me.  Maybe give me more ammunition to deal with haters like my father in law, but that's it.  For me, I don't care what caused this.  It happened to me, it's who I am, I've accepted that and I've come to embrace it.  I am a woman.  I was given a body that doesn't match what my mind's gender is.  There's only one thing that can change to make the two match so that's the path I'm headed down.  Honestly, I'm proud to be a woman. I'm resolute to fight the battles I need to fight to live as one in society.  So telling me the cause, doesn't change anything.

It's not about the genes, it's about what is or isn't in them that concerns me . Kidding aside, it would have no real impact on how I am, it would just give another probable reason as to why. Now if only I had the courage to "bite the bullet" and admit as much to others as I have to myself.

In my case it was my genes, and finding out made so much sense, and made me happy.

It would solve everything

I'm ok either way.  I hate that people who are trying to be hurtful call being LGBTQIA+ a choice.  Even if there were any truth to that, I think being a woman would be a fine choice to make!  That being said, I would be shocked beyond words if there were no specific factor that causes it.  Too many people struggle too hard to "be normal".   It's clear that the only choice we ever had was to either lie or be ourelves.

It might help me get rid of the idea that I am trans because I dislike most men and have felt like this for as long as I remember. If nurture actually is the cause for some, would not having the gene mean those of us that don't have the gene are not really trans? In that case, maybe I'd rather not know.

The only difference it would make to me is the little bit of knowledge gained.  I don't need to validate myself, and any "problematic skeptic'' I've ever met isn't likely to change their perspective because of scientific research they're never going to take the time to read or believe.

There are people out there's who don't believe in dinosaurs and that sexuality is a choice.

In the beginning, as I struggled and lived in denial.  It would have meant a lot.  What would be more useful is a society that freely acknowledged that gender identity and sexual orientation is not determined by genotype,  nor by what is between my legs.  But rather by what is in my heart. 💙💚💛💜

I wouldnt be surprised, i already am inclined to believe it.

A cousin of mine is also transgender and i think another uncle is struggling with questions...


All from my dads side..

To me, it would feel GREAT. Would alleviate my guilt/shame. Just being honest.

I feel the same way.

Would like genetic evidence cause I know in my heart and how I have felt in my head I was always a guy. My problem was societal expectations and the generational era I grew up in. Now, thoughts are much more accepting and individualism is expressed more readily without as much retribution. However, I always knew who I was and how my adult life was going to finally get to for me. I just needed society to catch up with me a little. Proven scientifically is a bonus to help prove we are meant to be here and should not be ashamed or feel guilty as well as proving to society divisiveness is not only wrong but harmful to its own progress and development.
