Heck, the official (and even more dubious) party line on trans-people is that they have always been their gender trapped in the wrong bodies.
I don't think this is true, but I'm not an expert.
It almost certainly isn't. Of course believing that makes you an "evil transphobe" according to the official party line, especially if you consider the implication for gender reassignment surgery of children.
I mean that I don't think that's the party line, but I'm not an expert on what the party line is.
This thread is for asking any questions that might seem obvious, tangential, silly or what-have-you. Don't be shy, everyone has holes in their knowledge, though the fewer and the smaller we can make them, the better.
Please be respectful of other people's admitting ignorance and don't mock them for it, as they're doing a noble thing.
To any future monthly posters of SQ threads, please remember to add the "stupid_questions" tag.
