Agreed...and just because we have failed to find evidence...it is even harder to conclude it is there.
Just pointing out the gap in logic...if you claim that "science" has proved that it is physiological, then it seems that one might concluded that the same mechanism that determined that was the case could identify those affected...then we would not have to let 5 year old boys opt to be girls without really being sure.
Having been a "scientist" and research analyst...(before I realized that engineering paid a lot better), I can tell you that I can prove almost anything to the level of proof we accept for subjects like this (note the posted article). We will simply accept anything that tells us we or our friends and loved ones are normal. We would never tell a person with a resting heart rate of 100 that it was normal to make them feel better...or do open heart surgery on a person who appeared perfectly normal and healthy in every way because they felt like a person with a heart attack deep inside. Yet we are perfectly willing to tell a 5 year old that if they feel like the opposite gender, medicine/science tells us that they are in the wrong body...and just hang on a few years and we will cut their weiner off and make them the woman they were meant to be.
