[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8684002, member: 58172"] The above post seems to underestimate the inherent value of orientation and transgederness. There is a reason the human species evolved the presence of transgender individuals − because they improved the survival rate of the group as a whole. For example, when the paleolithic gender-divide into masculine hunter and feminine gatherer, it proves useful for trans women to remain as part of the feminine group and trans men to venture off as part of the masculine group. Humans evolve to specialize for group survival, cohesive symbolic language, and learning. Indeed, human infants are appallingly vulnerable compared to other animals. It is the group who protects the infant. Indeed, humans evolved elders who live long beyond their reproductive fertility, because their knowledge and caretaking of other peoples infants dramatically increased the survival rate of everyone in the group. Likewise, youthful persons who dont have their own children dramatically increase the survival of the group. Moreover, a trans woman is proud of being a woman for the exact same reason that a cis woman is proud of being a woman. Samesex couples are proud of their relationship for the same reason altsex couples are proud of their relationship. And similarly for any LGBTQIA+ permutation. [/QUOTE]
