- Biologist and famous atheist Richard Dawkins talks about his interview with Piers Morgan and religion, and doesn’t hold back.
Watch the full interview here: • Gender, Ricky Gervais ...

Liberals in 2010: "Richard Dawkins is our hero for being a voice of reason!"
Liberals in 2024: "Richard Dawkins is evil for suggesting women don't have penises!"
Dawkins has an underrated sense of humour
I had lunch with him. He is very engaging.
He has a very lunatic and dumb sense of humor! The stupidity of his arguments in this video is more foolish than any argument ever made by a religious person trying to prove the existence of God. His brain is rapidly deteriorating. I think it's quite understandable since he's of an advanced age.
I had brunch with him. He’s all shitss and giggles.
If ignorance is funny to you, then you must be a great party clown yourself because your ignorance is as funny as it can be.
@@williamwilson6499 Engaging in what way, did he try to eat your lunch or something?
EVERYONE IN THE WORLD knows, REALLY knows that JK Rowling is right. It's rediculous that this is even an issue. Regards from a regular bloke in Hertfordshire who is mightily sick of all this bo * * * cks now.
Ridiculous. Not rediculous. Regards, Dutch transwoman teaching English to British.
This person could be dyslexic for example and that is why he spelled ridiculous wrongly. He could have written this in a rush therefore have no time to check it. @@Kikiyayazengardens

@@jerrylong6238 Oh, please. It's not a flag of a man of the people to be ignorant of how to spell it's haste, driven by negative emotion, or lack of education which is something to ponder.
@@gothikgrlblack1733reading his comment, he has many more issues than that. He is a egoist retard.
"Verging on insanity?"
Dude, we're way past the finish line.
But insanity is now identified as sanity so everything is fine. Of course, fine is now identified as terrible so there is a problem.
I miss the pre trans gay movement. This is too much drama
Why does Prof Dawkins think J K Rowling is right?
Because he has common sense!
Sadly, reality dissagrees with both but nazis don't... i know my side
@@WalterWhite-jz7ctprof Dawkins is just saying his opinion,
@@lewissmith350 So did the Nazis... worked out well, right?
I'm trans and have been out for around two decades now. Living life was easier before all the madness started. I don't want to be politicized; I just want to live my life. Leave me alone.
Even to say that it's possible to "think like a woman" gives a lot of weight to sexist stereotypes. If you don't define sex by reproductive biology, there's no way to define it that ::doesn't:: rely on sexist stereotypes.
Sex is purely biological, and certainly not binary (though it's _largely_ binary.)
Gender is a social construct, and thus meaningless for many purposes.
That's because the only way a man can claim to be a woman is by clinging onto sex roles given that biology already denies their attempts to be seen as women. Also the fixated fetish some heterosexual men have with lesbians who they want access to.
Yes it's very, very conservative and it's just not true. People are more complex.
Sex is defined by reproductive Biology, or at least, assigned as such... gender isn't
Hopefully sanity will prevail. Dawkins makes perfect sense. Thank you.
On science he makes sense, but when it comes to Gender, he is clueless. He exposed that when he made the claim trans people just claim to be the Gender they want to be and think that makes them that Gender. A transwoman is just a woman born with a penis. And a transman is just a man born with a Viginia. It is just that simple, He knows and even admits a person can be born with both male and female Gentelia at the same time (hermaphrodites) therefore one set has to be the wrong one, correct? Well, that is the definition of a transperson. Someone born with the wrong Gentelia or in the wrong body whatever.
Their talk between 1:00 and 2:00 shows that question "what is a woman" is purely linguistic. Trans people don't deny biology, since they don't claim they have organs they don't have. And Dawkins admits there is a woman's brain, he just dislikes calling that person woman, which is linguistic issue.
“There is no absolute morality and there is no absolute truth.”
Chris Hitchens
For some reason the priest of atheism asserted this as such, but then again we all have our blind spots.
Going back to his argument. If there is no absolute truth and no absolute morality then there is subjective truth (opinion) and moral preference.
You might prefer children and I might disagree.
This is your preference. Who am I to stand in your way…
You might believe there is a god and I might disagree.
These are just your opinions, who am I to disagree, as the song goes…
You might believe men can be pregnant. It’s your opinion.
Dawkins is an old-school atheist, one who has been raised in a sea of Christianity, that is why he seeks to discover [absolute] truth through the scientific method.
All the while he is utterly oblivious to the fact that it is Church’s apostasy that brought about this militant atheism and the nonsense of transgenderism…
Cheers, infidels. You deserve it.

Prof. Dawkins. A voice of complete sanity in an increasingly WOKE, Insane World.
People really need to stop throwing the word ‘woke’ around. It’s just become something that is used to shut down any reasonable debate, particularly in matters of progressive attitudes, usually by people who don’t have a proper argument or any knowledge of the subject they’re discussing.
Woke is the perfect word for a world that’s asleep.

If by woke one means fairness upheld by moral capital, everyone agrees. It's just that people can't agree on ethics.

When Dawkins and many Christians agree on something large ideas are at stake indeed...

I do not know nor have I ever met a trans-person or a man who believes he's a woman and vice-versa, but what I think is that it would take an enormous amount of courage to say in public that you had become someone from the opposite sex. Think of how one's life would change forever with life-long friends abandoning you and family going through the roof and how one's mother would react or father. However, rather than have anything negative to say about their choice in life, I think the best thing is to simply accept their choice and not much more than that. Stay neutral. All you can say really is, "oh, I didn't know you felt that way." Why do I say that? Because life on its own just being the person you were born as and growing up a boy and becoming a man for example, is already a great challenge for a lot of men. Think of how complex one's life would be by outwardly saying that you have now changed sex because you thought about it and that now you are of the opposite sex! Do you see what I mean? I think we have to just accept the people who go over that line-in-the-sand navigate their way to where ever it is they are going and not get emotional about it or condemn them in any way, because they have got to live in the world too and more power to them if they feel they found their purpose in life.
You seem to have put a lot of thought into this. I can hardly disagree.
It can be courage that brings a person to 'come out' as Trans but so often it coexists with arrogance, anger and entitlement. It can also be a Fetish. There's a difference between getting on with ones life and trying to 'shove down the throat of everyone' your way of life. Men invading Women's Spaces is fraught with possible danger and is not just as simple as a Man putting on a Dress and saying call me Mary !
@@nicholaseager9201 GGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. I studied psychology at university, but I do not know a thing about the trans movement. I just know it's very, very hard to know how to react to something like this because it is out of our range of psychological tools. What is not needed is emotional outbursts and name-calling and the like. I know; I know; easy to say but hard to do.
@@TEKANNON-bz9fm As with every group there are always extremists and the silent majority are not heard from by definition. I'm Gay but my sexuality is only part of me. Basically I am Nicholas. An Englishman who happens to be Gay. Gay doesn't define me or control every aspect of my life. I expect RESPECT for who I am in totality. I don't expect 'special or different' treatment due to my sexuality. I also don't demand that everyone accepts my sexuality. People have a right to their opinion. However I have a right to be treated equally.
The trouble with extremists, be they Political, Sexuality, Gender...etc. driven is that some do not want equality but rather to be treated specially with extra rights and considerations. A sort of Equality Plus ! This is wrong.
TRANS are people of course and should be respected like everyone else else. But this works both ways and respect should be equal. If you have a Male Body, i.e. a Penis, then no matter if you wear a Dress you should realise that your presence in an environment intended for only Females, with Vaginas, is not appreciated. Males are generally physically stronger and are also the main sexual Predators. How many times do you get Women that want to enter Male Changing rooms for sexual excitement ? Women that think going into Male Toilets is sexy. Women that stealthily control an environment and lay in wait to physically pounce on and RAPE a Man ? I'd suggest NEVER ! The reverse situation of Men manipulating situations to abuse Women sexually is far too common.
For all these reasons above Trans Women ARE NOT WOMEN. They are Men that either just wear a Dress or have undergone Hormonal and Surgical treatment in order to IMITATE a Woman. They may say they're a Woman, may feel like one, dress like one etc. However their DNA and their early development has been that of a Male and this CANNOT be changed by any amount of Hormone taking or Surgical Procedures.
I have known one trans mtf person in my life. This person was under no illusion that they will never become a biological female. They wanted as far as possible to look like a woman, behave as a woman and so on. The person's mother said that her son had always been effeminate in any case and that is why he passed as a woman.
He can hardly say she's wrong 😂
Then i would work on my vocabulary, if I were you
I was brought up by my grandfather and have been told my approach to work and life in general is male, never once have I identified as a man. Thank goodness I wasn’t brought up today. 🎉
Tomboys and butch still exist and are treated far better than they were back then but go off i guess
Richard Dawkins is a shining beacon of reason and sense in this craziness of the internet !
Not a fan but yeah to a degree.
It's a shame he has to be such a transphobic bigot though.
thats sad

@@linmorell1813 And that has what to do with anything we are talking about now?
@@linmorell1813 I must have got my point across to you because you understood it didn't you?
Love you JK Rowling and what you stand for ❤❤❤❤
My understanding of the situation involves a person always feeling to have been someone of the opposite sex born in the wrong body. Many of them say the same thing, namely, that from their first memories they have felt this and nobody gave them this idea. The fact that I do not understand it beyond the above words does not make it wrong or crazy; it is simply beyond my experience. I am glad that I never have had to deal with this. How awful. It seems nature has played a really nasty trick on some unfortunates.
Nobody knows what it feels like to be another person whether they are male or female. I’m male, my best friend is male, but I don’t know what it feels like to be him. We share interests, sure, but we are not the same. So it bugs me when people say stupid things like “no man knows what it is to feel like a woman” well, neither does a woman know what it is to feel like another woman, expect the biological side of things, like menstruation etc. But psychologically, we are uniquely individual. Society is hell bent on placing people, especially those in a minority into a box, stick a label on it and place it on a shelf. In my opinion, everyone has their own box, there’s nobody else in there with you, because ‘ you are you, no one can know what it is to be you, and absolutely NOBODY has the right to tell you how to live your life’ which, is very short, so live to the full and BE YOURSELF.
And you believe that? How do you know they aren't lying?
@@John-nv5zyHow do you know anyone isn't lying? How do I know you're not a Chinese chatbot?
If you're even remotely interested in having a true opinion in the trans debate, you should probably spend some time listening to people who are going through the experience of being in the wrong body. It's called trusting other human beings. And you can still disagree with them afterwards. But so many issues today could be resolved by just having conversations with people outside of your bubble.
I think you are doing the topic a disservice by mixing together all gender issues into one "trans" topic. Transsexuality is an established diagnosis within psychology, while the long list of pronouns is not. That trans-women can't always enjoy the same rights that CIS women do - like in sports, is yet another topic, and many transpeople seem to understand this very well. Claiming that transsexuals are just confused men that need to snap out of it, I feel is beyond both you and JK. It's not about having a different gender behaviour than what is traditional. It's about identity, and I'm sure you can agree that feeling like a man is not connected to you "liking sports or cars". It's far deeper than that. With the pronouns-club, however, it may not be. Never simplify a topic that for many people is a matter of life and dad.
Consider how much money you’d have to be paid to permanently transition and go out in public, be with friends, family, at work etc. For a lot of people that figure does not exist. Obviously someone driven to do that voluntarily has a very different experience of themselves than you do. When you have a large number of people reporting a similar experience, it think it is rather arrogant and narrow minded to say “I can’t conceive of their experience, therefore it isn’t real.” As for what to do about it, that is a much harder question, but i will go out on a limb and suggest that one of the least qualified people to consult is JKR.
I'm surprised that no one brings up the obvious fact that our language(s) typically fail to distinguish between sex (which is biological) and gender (which is social). This alone will keep tripping us up, when we cannot get past the traps laid down by our own words.
The problem is that you're asking small-minded people to expand their understanding of the world. Even Dawkins in this clip says that there is a likelihood that there is a difference between a male brain and a female brain.
Some can't distinguish between that, sure. However a lot of people, including me and likely JK Rowling, don't think there is any difference and that the concept of a social constructed gender is more or less made up. What Dawkins said in the clip is that men can be more feminine and women more masculine in their ways or thinking. It doesn't change their gender/sex (gender = sex). To accept and embrace this range, the possibility that a man can be feminine and women masculine, should have been enough for everyone.
Neither JK Rowling nor me have anything against transwomen or transmen. Live as you like. But don't force other people to believe in your fake narrative.
I have seen this narrative, the social constructivist, postmodern, theories within gender studies and social sciences spread when I studied political science 2003-2011. I saw the "truth" be established. The craziness spread and no one dared to argue against it. But a lot of people have had enough. There will come a backlash to these absurdities. Unfortunately it will mostly come from the right side of the political spectrum.
@qp9vp gender does not = biological sex. That's where you and likely JK are wrong. Small-minded people. You must be a boomer.

'With regards to' - ouch
I don't get it. please explain.
'In regards to' is newish, ugly, and everywhere. That plural 'regards' is an ear-grind. Good writers and speakers would rather rip their own eyes out than be caught using 'with/in regards to'.
Just 'regarding' or (if you must) 'with regards to'.
Best, um, regards
"I want to be tolerant and respect other people." "Gee why is this happening?" I can't.
No one is forcing anyone to be trans.
Hopefully, TH-cam will show more "stuck poop" commercials 🤢
How widespread around the world is this transgender idea ? Surely it's not an issue or even discussed in every country!
You have no idea. Left parties in every country are trying to appeal to this ideology.
You need to be aware that this doesn't only consist of the men wearing women's clothes. Trans people are only used for virtue signalling. There are troll armies online who try to get everyone blocked who argues in any way against gender identity. Here on YT it's more subtle than elsewhere, here comments just get shadow banned. You don't notice but nobody gets the comments shown in their stream.
It's a cult that tries to get power and they force us to deny reality and accept made up nonsense and change our language, what we must say or must not say and how to say it. They are following the playbook for any ongoing dictator
There are laws put in place everywhere to force people to comply everywhere. Countries with left leaning governments are eager to implement them.
Everyone knows she is right!! It's only the media and social media loons who don't -'I have not met a single person who does not agree with her. The media is so far removed from everyday life now - nobody takes it seriously

Because JK Rowling had a bad life is not a excuse for her starting twitter campaigns again people like Imane Khelif being a man when she's always been a woman. This kind of hatred and social panic she's way too quick to jump into are not a good sign for rationality either.
Accurately describing an adult XY male as a man is not "hatred", for crying out loud.
@@lidahall5928 Can you prove Imane Khelif is a man though she's always been a woman ? I don't think so, unless you can provide a biological test, what the IBA has not done.

The interviewer doesn't seem to understand that linguistics is not very respected by natural sciences 😂 And that most scientists know little outside their own discipline. He sounded like a toddler asking those questions to a Darwinist
robert sapolsky talks about the male and femake brain too
I think everyone is getting all worked up over terminology and overthinking it. There is a spectrum of any endocrinopathy, but everyone wants everything to be black and white. It’s also complicated by the physiological aspects versus sociological aspects.
Look I don't get why this is so hard for people to get Noone thinks they can change their chromosomes sooo what is the delusion exactly

You can imagine just about any dam thing on Earth though.
Certainly Dawkins is not denying Dysphoria and it's clinical certainty.
What about people who have both female and male parts?
They fall within the binary
Its about what is the difference between humans and animals.The real nature of human is that it can make what ever it wants out of its self.Thats the nature of human and thats the difference from the rest of the animal.The problem is that many,dont even realise the real nature of human even that thay see it around all the time.One makes him self astronaut,the other diver,the other covers all the body with tattoos etc etc.why is so difficult to understand that human is not a donkey to do the same like mama donkey,and its not a cow to do what mama cow do.Its siple as that.Open your eyes,the truth is around you,not in your fantasy!
For those who think their gender is biological- point to where your gender is on your body. If you think it has anything to do with your body parts- imagine you lost that particular body part. Are you still the same gender? How come? It’s really something you feel inside, not something attached to you.
Not a valid rationale. Your chromosomes aren't going to change just because you lost a limb. But, hey its cool these days to throw science out the window in favour of the realm of philosophy where 'I think therefore I am'.
@@lew6861 chromosomes determine sex, not gender.
That is correct that is why you would need to ask a person what Gender they are you cannot tell them what Gender they are no matter what you may think. I'm sure a lot of females (males also) out there have a much larger penis than I have.

@@fillyfresh
I´m sure Richard would recognise that the truth can be contained in a myth, whereas you are obviously incapable of doing so.
Try nonduality, Andrew.
If you remove whatever JKR has said, remove the context of her controversies and just look at it as a person who stood up for their beliefs against the mainstream: I think JKR is incredibly brave and admirable. She sacrificed being one of the most beloved children’s authors of all time to fight for something she believes in knowing full well how people behave on the internet and what will happen to her. JKR is not scared of other people’s opinions of her. She doesn’t need validation from others. That’s power. I wish I had that sort of strength of character.
It angers me that JKR will never feature on books like Little People Big Dreams because she’s become the scapegoat of toxic trans activism’s frustrations. JKr couldn’t be more gentle in her criticisms of some of the trans movement. If she is “evil” then everyone is, in some way, irredeemable.
People need to take Voltaire’s words more to heart: “I may not agree with you, But I defend you to the death your right to say it”
Jk Rowling is a hero,she is why intact biological men who have comitted s,x crimes are not being allowed to share cells with women in britain, she is a heroine, fighting Orwellian idealogy, for the sake of humanity.
Here’s the thing… most trans people I know… and yes, I know a few… happily accept that on a biological level, they are the sex they were born as. However they feel and would like to present, live and be treated as if they were not that sex. - trans men understand and accept that they were born female but wish to live their life as a man… as a male.
Richard and JK Rowling come in to difficulty when they have to keep hammering home that trans people are not biologically the gender they identify as, and therefore cannot identify with the experiences of the gender they feel they are. I personally think they are being weirdly obstinate and forgetting that language and understanding of gender has changed constantly over the millennia.
There have been many studies that show that some people have more masculine and or feminine brains and Dawkins, admitting he hasn’t done much research on that, really surprises and disappoints me.
No. Rubbish.
@@Franeeky Do you care to expand? Or you just trolling?
Nothing scares me more than infinite boredom in heaven, if that’s the main selling point of a religion then I can only pray that my death is the end
Nonsense. You get to go on picnics with black widow spiders, great white sharks, wolverines, tyrannosaurus rexes, and brown snakes. It will be wonderful.
@@kingy002lol😅
I speak 5 languages
I couldnt care less
It seems like you care a bit
@@somni2246 I meant the reaction he got from Dawkins 🤣
@@urdapilleta ohh, right. Dawkins definitely doesn't give a toss
Doesnt dawkins realise theres a biological basis for gender?
He does
Thats why he is right
There are a small percentage which feel and see themselves as the opposite sex from as early as can be remembered. In this sense like a female born into a male body. Complicated by the small amount of intersex people such as complete androgen insensitivity syndrome. However this tiny percentage of people is not the gender choice rebellion going on in 95% of trans people.
95% of percentages in TH-cam comments sections are pulled directly from the commentators ass. Plus there's a whole world of things we're not studying. Who knows if the amount of processed foods and other chemicals that we ingested for decades is affecting this. And while you're trying to figure this out why don't you come up with a solution for hard solipsism.
Again, being a man or woman is not a “feeling”. It is a biological reality determined by binary (female/male) gametes. Surgeries and hormones to “transition” have been proven to damage a person’s physical and mental health long term. There is no such thing as being born in the wrong body.
I disagree with your last sentence, but Andrew definitely thinks zero trans people exist and all intersex people are one sex or the other
this argument... with some of the smartest people... are so stupid!!! to get all stupid with language - i think therefore i am!!! for the intellectuals ... ring a bell?
Brilliant interview! Richard Dawkins? Love that guy. The voice of reason and biological precedent! :) Great interview. thank you. I think youtube is the last bastion of intellectual reason and discussion. Sometimes :) Lets not mention the covid vaciine :)
There are no women in the top 25 (WESPA rated) Scrabble players. Why? I don't know. Same with chess, over 2000 grandmasters out there but only 42 are women. So there must be some brain differences or is it just cultural? On the other hand I have never seen a man manage to take off a jumper with their arms crossed, like women do so easily...
Women also know what colour curtains should be and men, so we are told, do not.
@@CarmenVeranda Yes but gay men are apparently experts in interior decorating. So they say...
@@bernmahan1162 Ah, gay men, yes. Trans women (ie born men) not so much (apart from the ones who used to be interior decorators perhaps).
Women don't need to compete with other women in the same way men compete with men. Chess is mostly just a way for men to brag about how smart they are. They play chess to indicate their superiority to other men. Women have no impetus to do this so few women play chess.
There are also women-only competitions in chess. There are no men-only competitions which does suggest a male advantage.
Probably because you never lived outside your bubble, there always has been people who are what now are called transgender, it’s just that earlier their parents and community either shunned or killed them due to religion. Also it’s ironically due to religion that we have these binary rules and men growing their hair long and women wearing trousers already rejected the binary without using those words. How people define themselves is a direct consequence of our societal rules and what religious doctrine has caused. Side note, there are no words you can’t say, they only have consequences. The ruling class had laws making black people (and women) property and people in the lgbtq+ community were legally tortured and jailed for their orientation and we’ve made a (very small) acknowledgment of it.
Women still are property in Islamic countries. I find your conflation of colour and gender "black people and women" deeply offensive. Gender and race are very different characteristics. Does a "black women" count double in your bubble?

According to you, men who happen to grow long hair and paint nails and women having short hair and wearing shorts are so "rare" and "unheard of" that they need a special word? Metrosexual wasn't a thing, androgynous wasn't a thing, gender non-conforming wasn't a thing? Het men and women who do these things are actually queer and "trans in denial" ?
As a woman from a non-western, homophobic country and not straight herself, your TQ+ folk has to touch some grass, that thinking is sexist as hell.
There's more visibility to trans people, but I hardly doubt mentally sane trans folk would pressure lesbians to sleep with them or make up xer/xir/ e.t.c. pronouns
@@limyrob1383 actually I didn’t say “black people and women” and though the form I used was for brevity without nuance, I wasn’t conflating the two groups. You would have a better argument if you pointed out that some „white“ groups such as the Irish were also treated as property by the ruling class but perhaps you had reasons. Also, America will likely attempt to make women (and other parts of the population 😉) legally property again if the religion industry succeeds in their Project 2025 plans
He thinks she's right because we all do, she is right
If we all did there wouldn’t be a debate.
@@peteconrad2077 there is no debate as far as I'm concerned the idea that a man can become a woman is Ludicrous, completely irrational and illogical
Not all, because you do not speak for me and millions of transpeople around the world.
@@jerrylong6238 if you are a person who is a man and wants to live as a woman, (or visa versa) that's fine. Nobody cares. Our issue is really with logic and science and biology. You remain the sex you were born as. For a man to want to be a woman, to think he is a woman and to dress and act as a woman is one thing. For him, and other people to actually pretend that he *_really_* is a woman is quite another, unacceptable delusion.
That's the entire discussion in a nutshell.
Ye let's ignore the science mr Dawkins and go with are feeling
Actually, Dawkins is on the side of science. Trans ideology is on the side of ideology
I think perhaps Richard has been hijacked. Perfectly true and sane as is all he says, he is prone to being used by those who seek to use his words for far more selfish ends :)))))))))
Terrible interviewer
Imagine having a guest like Richard Dawkins and just talking mostly shit. What a wasted opportunity
“Did you see that coming at all?”
Conservatives and Christians saw this coming decades ago.
They're not insane, they define 'woman' differently. There really need to be different words for biological sexes (man/woman/...) and genders (?/?/...). That would relax the entire debate. It would give everyone what they want because trans people would have a means of stating their gender without sounding like denying their biological sex.
The most important thing is to try to avoid hurting people unnecessarily.
I think that the interwiver ask leading questions ( according to his own agenda) but Richard Dawkins have enough integrity to not to commit to anything other than what he thinks. The interviwer bombarded Dawkins with questions, and very often he only answered " possible". An interwiver finest obligation is to word the questions in a way that allows the interviewee to answer what he/she thinks, not what the interviewers wants you to say. I liked the James Dreyfus better - it had a better flow and a better rapport between the interviwer and interviewee.
This guys is so intelligent he promoted and pushed the 💉 with evangelical zeal and still hasn't apologised.
Hid behind children because he soiled his panties. A real intellectual.
Apologised for what? The application of tried and tested medical techniques that have been in use for decades and have mountains of demonstrated evidence to back them up.
Why would he?
He's a teller of truth.
@@zappasmoustache23 Gene therapy has not been used on such a mass scale. That a lie
Perhaps it is best for these gentlemen not to speak about medical matters such as gender dysphoria. They sound very uninformed and naive. I like Dawkins on religion, but this is a subject he can only have an opinion about. He doesn't sound like an authority on this matter.
His actual expertise is evolutionary biology. What's the likelihood he's actually uninformed on issues of biology?
They are not talking about gender dysphoria they are talking about a fetish most trans don't have gender dysphoria
