Normal people, people that fits the behavioral and identity norms do not need to resolve this issues and in general do not get obsessed in solving them. So, since we are very young we are obliged to resolve this complex and relativist questions involving ourselves in a world that is strange someway until we can realize what is really happening. People with GID feel since very early in their life that in some way they don’t belong to a pre-determined frame of behavior. I believe this correlation between intelligence and GID can be explained by a proverb in my main language (portuguese) "A necessidade aguça o engenho", that means "the need makes you more ingenious". I have GID and know other people that have it. Well I don't believe it is a kind of genetic predetermined intelligence that we are talking here. Really, it is pretty darned clear that a GID - height connection is due to data confounding.Ĭites for the statistical connection between height and IQ cannot be hard to find. They conduct their own surveys on members and the conclusion is not in doubt (at least for internet-using transsexual people - add that confounding factor to the confounding factors involved). Outsiders simply are not tolerated given the history of "well-meaning" abuse, especially at the hands of the medical profession. John Randall, now retired from Charing Cross Hospital in London.Īnd, if you want to take my word for it, there are many forums, secret societies if you like, that are open to transsexual people only. One published research on the height of transsexual women was compiled around 1980 by Dr.
Edem Ekwo *, Carol Gosselink, Nancy Roizen, Dana Brazdziunasĭepartment of Pediatrics, University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and La Rabida Children's Hospital and Research Center, Chicago, Illinois 60649 Just one example, linking height to family income can be found at:ĭr. Wealth to seeking psychotherapy should be pretty obvious. There are many sources that correlate the various factors. Why is that? - Why are they taller? More to the point, why are you saying that this is fact? It is all the same connection, being taller, physically healthier, having wealthier parents, more educational opportunities, better childhood nutrition, higher IQ and being more willing to even entertain seeking psychiatry are all statistically coupled. on the average, transwomen (mostly XY people) are taller than non-transsexual men.

But the high voltage transmission lines were not emitting some cancer-causing electro-magnetism. There was a famous example of statistical confounding example years ago where an excess of cancer was found in people who lived in the shadow of electricity transmission towers. And those who seek transition are the ones who get themselves diagnosed GID. So it's not that more bright people have GID (assuming GID is not bogus), but wealthier people are likely to be able to do anything about it (transition). It is also a fact, and cruelly so, that on the average, transwomen (mostly XY people) are taller than non-transsexual men. I'm reasonably sure there is a statistically significant link between higher inteligence and diagnosis with GID.īut I'm also reasonably sure it is the result of statistical confounding rather than any cause and effect connection. I have seen a lot of transfolk over the years. Posts: 46 Joined: Wed 3:05 pm Local time: Mon 9:13 pm Blog: View Blog (0)Ĭhucky wrote. I'm thinking that's not making a very good case for gender identity being a product of external forces.
and for years I did my best to accommodate it and try to be male. society, family, religion, peers, education, biology. The way I put it was that everything in life actually tried to make me male. But ones real gender alway shines through. Every school I went to was boys exclusively-which was crap as I could never comphrehend the male gender and shared none of there interests,sports,random sex with no romance and salivating over sports cars to name a few,so I never made many friends.Some of my family were transphobic and homophobic-instilling a sense of shame and self hatred unto me like I was a freak or just a transvestite(sexual fetish).we had no internet in those days to educate ourselves sadly.
