Trans people’s beliefs are entirely about internal subjective experience,
And what are those beliefs? That they’re internal subjective experience is closer to that of a people of their claimed “gender” than of their sex? How could they possibly know this given that they have no way of knowing what a typical man’s or woman’s subjective experience is like?
That being treated as their raised gender is extremely emotionally painful and that their sexual characteristics are dissociated from them (at its most extreme this results in attempting to cut off the penis or breasts, but milder forms are extremely common). in short, Dysphoria.
I reiterate that the right way to learn what trans people’s subjective beliefs are like is to talk with some of them in a friendly social manner. I am not trans; I know somewhere between six and two dozen people, and a couple I am very close with, but I am not the right person to explain this to you. I am answering a ton of questions which you could answer much more easily by just reading some trans person’s account of their early life, like I said originally.
