No one is reducing spending on REAL science. Millions of dollars to study transgender mice is not science (and transgenderism doesn't exist in nature).

Did you know that one of the sub-regions of the brain believed to be a neurological cause for transgenderism was first identified and manipulated in rats?

This is a shitpost but since all of evolution originated from a single point it means mice are basically 80% human dna to begin with. It's the same reason bananas are 50% human.

What is it then?

Honestly I don't know what you'd call it, because transgenderism requires the willful desire to mutilate your body in a vain attempt to change your gender, something no animal besides humans has. So it's not science because the very premise is anti-science. If instead they were studying the behavior of castrated mice on estrogen, then maybe. Of course a reasonable person would simply ask "why?"

lol wrong.
Transgenderism does exist in nature and it is a defect if those with it can neither reproduce nor have a worker class to support their species in any manner.
Things exist because they reproduce. In truth any condition that makes reproduction impossible is a defect not a feature or a unique equal variant.

Only if you subscribe to the notion that gender = s*x, and transgenderism is an advanced form of homosexuality

Not really no. This might surprise the frick out of you, but transgender as a concept has existed outside America for thousands of years.
Generally transgender means you don't have the necessary genitals of either a man or a woman.
Like a man without balls would be considered a transgender. That is generally the form transgender took for the majority of history. It had nothing to do with changing your gender as you didn't go from man to woman or woman to man, but were instead your own separate group which could not function as either one of those.

This is the weirdest
gotcha attempt I've ever seen.
Everything you said is such obvious bullshit that I want to give you the benefit of the doubt that you don't actually believe it, but then I'm confused why you'd post this. Even the dumbest of chuds is gonna realize that it's all wrong, so you're not gonna convince anyone, but it does make you look like a massive r-slur.
What was your intention?

I mean if you go rooting around for historical basis for gender before modern gender theory, it'll get a little weird and you'll find a few not-quite-fitting groups to build a historical narrative from.
I agree with the effort on premise alone because things don't emerge from the ether and Dr. Money was a well-positioned milestone.

eunuchs...
1. Can't knock up royal daughters or the queen, safe to have around in your palace
2. Their children will never want inheritence that will fragment power, safe to bestow some power to them
3. Oh shit it wasn't that safe, the eunuchs are conspiring with eachother and I'm worried that Jerry the Top Eunuch is lying to me

Turns out when you taking away reproduction from a human, the only thing left to do is the pursuit of power through whatever means necessary. Eunuch advisors were the genius neurodivergents of the ancient world. People who were at a disadvantage because they couldn't connect to every day humanity but also at the same time a real threat in positions of power if they made it that far, because nobody from a neurotypical group could get a read on what a Eunuch would want or why.

intersex would be considered trans historically as per my understanding. This differentiation between intersex and transgender is a very new concept and very American concept.

This is only the case for non-social species. For social species, population fitness rather than personal fitness is more important.
Jump in the discussion.

Partially true. A population is still made of the individual. Social species allow for specialization but even in that scenario reproduction being limited to a very small specialized share of the population only works for social insect species where everybody is practically a sibling/ clone of one another.
For social herd species like apes, you can have greater tolerable deviation to the extent of 5-10% of the herd not reproducing if the reproductive rate is around 4 - 8 offspring (excluding humans who have a far higher survival rate for offspring than other Earth life forms ) for the female within her lifetime for the rest of the group, but would still fail after the non-reproductive group share passes a certain threshold.
Even for the human, the required fertility rate to balance out 10% of the herd not reproducing at all would be 2.33 per woman who does reproduce. For 20% of the herd not reproducing it would be 2.625 children per woman who does reproduce. For 40% of the herd not reproducing it would be 3.5 children per woman who do reproduce.

lol no. An animal that just didn't develop its balls while growing due to a genetic defect would also be transgender.
Clownfish are the primary example of transgenderism in an animal species that serves an actual useful purpose.
