Let me just deconstruct and well, basically shred this comment to bits...
In the essay/thread "brain in a jar", I am discussing how neurobiological and psychological evidence shows that 'gender identity' is an innate part of the brain.

I isolate the brain, and the person within and pose...
...the question about the gender of that person. Starting at that point and working back through how we know gender identity (cis, trans, fluid and NB +) is part of the brain itself, not a conditioned thing.

Essentially I remove the body part of the equation for a reason.
This is because the brian develops later than gonad differentiation.

So you can and do end up with a brain set up differently to the "body". I.E. transgender people.
It is about the PERSON inside the BRAIN. Who are they? What do they identify with.

Forget the body.

Who are they?
So they not only missed the point, they focus on the body, on the cybernetics, anything except the person... the brain... the important bit.
If you have a brain that has a female gender identity... YOU, the person... the being inside are female.

That isn't just fancy words... the neurobiology checks out too, with a number of correlations noted in studies.

These people ARE female.
So this "relabelling of the penis as female" statement is not saying a penis is a female thing... it is saying that people with female brains sometimes have bodies with penises.

The body and brain are not aligned. And that is OKAY.
You will note that TERF arguements always try to force the subject to body. Neurobiology be damned, intersex development ignored... if you have 'male' genitals you ARE and always will be male.

This is forced ignorance of the complexities of biology and the very thing that...
...trans people have to internally struggle against too- without TERF bullies piling in.

Some of us are okay with our bodies that do not align quite right. For some of us we would change if we could. For some of us, well... it kills.
Note this drivel then goes on to make suppositions about mens behaviour around the straw man they themselves set up. Of course dudes will brag about cool cyber tech... but what the fuck has that got to do with the subject we are discussing?
So there we have it. Completely dodged the point. Focused on and fixated on our genitals (surprise) and only our genitals. Set up a straw man as they cannot attack the actual information given.

Let's talk 'brain in a jar' transgender theory.
Okay, so say you are a cisgender male and you get a bionic arm. You are still male.

Lets keep swapping bits out. Cyber eyes- male.
Cyber legs- still male.
Cyber penis- yep, male.
The fact is, you will see yourself as a cisgender male no matter how much of your body is missing or replaced.

Why is that? Because gender identity exists in your brain.

Fine, okay, let's finally watch Once Upon A Time...

The sexual tension between Swan and Regina is enormous. Regina thinks she is a top but Swan is gonna change all that.
Look, I just want to look as good in a suit as Lana Parilla.
JUST KISS, YOU CAN BE HIS TWO MOMMIES

Me: Okay, doing Hitman 2 full run on master mode, suit only. Things are serious now.

Also me: I am the muffin man, fear me.
I do love how security expert Nolan Cassidy's expert security crumbles when you stroll into his open garage moments after starting and politely toss a thing that goes boom into his kitchen meeting.

Honestly.
This game is ridiculously swingy. Sometimes I feel like I am a master assasin, a ghost who leaves no trace, feared by the elite... next moment I am Funzo McFunpants the pink flaingo mascot spattering collateral clarat all over the gaff with a baseball bat and a machine gun.

One thing porn sites could do is filter and replace certain toxic words and phrases with much healthier alternatives.

For example:
G̶u̶y̶ Gentleman with ̶M̶a̶s̶s̶i̶v̶e̶ ̶B̶l̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶C̶o̶c̶k̶ a charming personality
̶A̶n̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶d̶e̶s̶t̶r̶o̶y̶s̶ has an enoyable afternoon with S̶l̶u̶t̶t̶y̶ ̶t̶e̶e̶n̶ a young empowered lady of consenting age.
B̶i̶g̶ ̶t̶i̶t̶t̶ey ̶L̶e̶s̶b̶i̶a̶n̶s̶ bisexual women ̶S̶w̶a̶p̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶l̶o̶a̶d̶ comfortable in the safety of their partners sexual health ̶G̶e̶t̶ ̶s̶l̶a̶m̶m̶e̶d̶ ̶b̶y̶ enjoy the company of a ̶W̶e̶l̶l̶ ̶h̶u̶n̶g̶ ̶E̶u̶r̶a̶s̶i̶a̶n̶ gentleman.

Go to art school.

Lemme tell you this. Art schools are full of depressed, jaded, failed artists working as teachers to raise enough money to fuel their alcholism and boy, do they not want to be outshone by their students.
The only thing I learned was how to make up "sales worthy bullshit" to be able to con rich wankers into buying whatever random shit I threw at a canvas.

Mmm, the blues really do speak to the lost childhood we all pine for. The dash of silver, a glimpse, a glimmer of hope.
I left the university annoyed at the empty, blood sucking nature of it all. So did another girl.

Years later we ran into each other, both now successful artists. Those that stayed? Yeaaaaah not so much.

Fuck, I just broke Google.

Sorry everyone.
I was hacking this sick mainframe and was riding hard against black ICE, so I used a little trojan IMP I whipped up to derez it, and like I totally forgot to initialize the cluster derouter and so it went ronin after punching through the data wall.

Or I may be tripping balls.
Oh fuck. Not again.
