Trans bodies illustrate biological determinism and its consequences for youth.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement is not entirely accurate. While there is a biological aspect to being transgender, it is more accurate to say that transgender bodies illustrate the complexity and diversity of human biology and gender identity. Additionally, the idea of biological determinism (the belief that biology determines all aspects of a person's life) can be harmful and limiting for trans youth who may face discrimination and barriers to accessing healthcare and affirming support.
