Are we transpeople just eccentric, not giving a flying fuck about approval?

I agree with what you said about IQ as tested not being a constant.

Some people transition without even thinking about it. It's more of a 'feeling' and it's just as valid as someone analyzing it to death because many times, it's just something in the soul that makes a person trans.

Then there are people who if they think their soul tells them they are trans they will go to a faith healer or think they are possed by a demon.

I am not saying that we all thought about it. It's more like saying why not... be a male and do this "feminine" thing. Why not be a female and do this "masculine"thing. You know. Take that kind of reasoning to it's logical conclusion and if someone's "soul" tells them they are trans, they'll just be trans.

Transsexuals may be intellectually superior...but I'm happy to be in the chaser group on the evolutionary scale. At times we're practically retarded...but we like it that way....lol.

...so there.

Brenda, I didn't get a chance to lok at the studies and the books that you
cited, will do so as they look interesting.

But what I will say is equally important as a high IQ, is what the person
does with it.

An individual may have a high IQ, but if they don't fully utilize it then they
have wasted a gift.



Oh, and you may want to clarify to folks what a "cosmologist" is, or else
they will infer "cosmetologist", and want to get their hair and nails did.

A cosmologist is someone who studies the physical universe. Cosmologists
are knowledgeable in several scientific fields. They usually have an
extensive familiarity with physics, because physics knowledge is critical for
grasping many concepts in cosmology.

I thought it was a reader of Cosmopolitan.

High IQs? Nah! There are some clever tgirls around, but there are some stupid ones too. Same as both the other sexes...

Edit:

Men have always been saying they're smarter than women and vice versa. Now tgirls are saying they're smarter than men and women...

(Just kidding... )

But... I do think a lot of guys and GGs go through their lives on 'autopilot', without thinking much about who or what they are, whereas tgs might give that more thought and be more 'developed' in that particular way...

That's certainly possible... then one can take the position that thinking hard makes the brain more fit, and can raise IQ a bit.

The trouble is that the difference is statistically significant. The transsexual population has a mean IQ that is one standard deviation away from the mean IQ of the general population. 16 points of IQ is a huge difference. (Consider a person with an IQ of 84 ... that's just a bit more than Forest Gump.)

@peggygee I thought surely that if us stupid trannies could see that cosmologist and cosmetologist are different than anyone could. lol.
