As per ed T end0, "gender identity is a satanic mental disorder".
Really, edward? I thought end0's gender identity was male, but I must have been mistaken. Given what he said, obviously he doesn't identify as male or female. Or even non-binary. Clearly he identifies as an "it".
I asked the AI Copilot about end0's comment and Copilot replied, "The comment you mentioned seems to reflect a misunderstanding or a lack of awareness about gender identity".
Indeed. I think "lack of awareness" describes a lot of what end0 believes. He is unaware of facts and believes falsehoods instead. Or he is aware of the facts but chooses to believe lies. Like the fact that everyone has a gender identity.
But maybe he wants to be referred to as "it"? Given that "gender identity is a satanic mental disorder".
Was Itt a cousin of end0 that was a member of the Addams family? The video above suggests that Itt is a male, but Copilot told me "the creators of The Addams Family did not specify Cousin Itt's gender identity, leaving it somewhat ambiguous. This ambiguity adds to the character's mysterious and quirky charm. Cousin Itt is often referred to using male pronouns, but their gender is never a central aspect of their character".
end0's caption for the first image is "The brainwashing starts at a very early age". By which he means parents are to blame. They "brainwash" their childern into thinking they are the wrong gender.
Question submitted to the AI Copilot...
Me: According to a blog post about transgender people, "The brainwashing starts at a very early age". This person thinks that parents "brainwash" their childern into thinking they are the wrong sex. I think there are probably studies that disprove this. Can you confirm or refute this?
Copilot: There are indeed numerous studies that explore the development of gender identity and refute the notion that transgender identities are a result of "brainwashing" by parents. Research in psychology and gender studies consistently shows that gender identity is a deeply ingrained aspect of a person's self-concept and is not something that can be easily influenced or changed by external factors like parental guidance alone.
For example, a study published in the International Journal of Transgenderism discusses the gender identity development among transgender and gender nonconforming emerging adults, highlighting the complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors in the formation of gender identity. [1]
Additionally, the SAGE Encyclopedia of Psychology and Gender provides insights into transgender and gender nonconforming identity development, emphasizing that gender identity is a cognitive construct shaped by a combination of self-perceptions and social interactions. [2]
These studies and many others support the understanding that gender identity is a deeply personal and intrinsic aspect of who a person is, rather than something imposed or "brainwashed" into them.
The conclusion? The "brainwashing" does not begin at an early age. Because parents do not brainwash their children into thinking they are the wrong gender.
Video: Oct 3, 2021. The Neuro-biology of trans-sexuality by Prof. Robert Sapolsky.
In Robert Sapolsky's lecture on the neurobiology of transsexuality, he discusses research findings that show differences in the size of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) in transgender individuals. Studies have found that the size of the BNST in transgender people aligns with their identified gender rather than their assigned sex at birth [1]. This research supports the idea that gender identity has a biological basis and is not solely a result of social or environmental factors. Robert Sapolsky is a professor of biology, neurology, and neurosurgery at Stanford University. (via Copilot and Wikipedia).
The "bed nucleus of the stria terminalis" (BNST) is a brain structure located in the basal forebrain that plays a key role in regulating stress responses, anxiety, and social behaviors, often considered part of the "extended amygdala" due to its connections with the amygdala. The BNST is generally found to be larger in males compared to females in many species, including humans. (via Google AI and Copilot).
