Does being a transperson and not believing in innate, detectable gender identity in trans kids out you as being illegitimately trans?

How does this get you off Cara?

>cara has partially taken the blanchardpill but still believes in innate gender identity
really makes you think
>>7787739
no, but it does make you seem just slightly insane

how can both hsts and a*p not have innate gender identity?

blanchardianism is intentionally an alternative to identitarianism, they are mutually incompatible beliefs
blanchardianism suggests that trans people *develop* cross-sex gender identities through one of two means (either a shift in neurological sex patterns or a sexual orientation) that result in different outcomes

>either a shift in neurological sex patterns or a sexual orientation
how could either of those changes happen? if that's true, what experiences or life leads to each of them?
>>7787828
those are underresearched questions, so most of the answers are ancedotal
the neurological sex changes are similar/identical to those seen in lgb people and presumably have the same cause, which speculatively is increased cross-sex hormone levels during prenatal development (t in ftms, e in mtfs)
the sexual orientation is probably innate too, though nobody has any real idea what's going on there, aside from the established fact of it 'progressing in severity' -- one day you're a crossdresser and ten years later you're going under for srs
>>7787839
assuming it's not innate, what might be the psychological cause of them?
with the progression in severity, what might be the reason it progresses?
