| Myth | Fact | |-------|------| | "Being trans is a mental illness." | The WHO removed gender identity disorder from its mental disorders list in 2019. Gender dysphoria (distress from mismatch) is a diagnosable condition, but being trans itself is not an illness. | | "Trans kids are too young to know." | Children develop a stable sense of gender by ages 3–5. Social transition (name, pronouns) is reversible; puberty blockers pause puberty and are completely reversible. | | "Trans women are a threat in bathrooms." | No evidence supports this. Trans people are far more likely to be of assault in bathrooms than perpetrators. | | "Nonbinary isn't real." | Nonbinary identities are documented across cultures and history (e.g., Hijra in South Asia, Two-Spirit in Indigenous North America). | | "You can always 'tell' if someone is trans." | There is no single look or voice. Many trans people are indistinguishable from cis people. | leather shemale sex
