Deep dives
The cultural nature of transgender identity
Transgender identity is viewed as a cultural-bound syndrome rather than a naturally occurring phenomenon. The speaker argues that individuals who identify as transgender would not have developed that belief if they had grown up in a different society. They question the idea of a man truly being a woman and dismiss the concept of changing one's biological sex as a cultural construct.
