Pubes are just different kind of body hair. No big deal.

Don't know about Troubleinmind, but to me, weakness means inability to cope in a healthy way.

Crying is not a mental breakdown just like laughing is not a mental breakdown. It's a natural expression of an emotion and it's healthy - it helps you get rid of cortisol, so you should WANT to cry in appropriate circumstances just like you want to laugh. It's a natural bodily mechanism that is good for you. You viewing it negatively and as a weakness stems from the toxic approach to these things in the culture you grew up in (and probably still live in, unfortunately).

Probably region dependent.

The icoms would still have different shapes, right?

I should add that you can have many dysfunctional genes in your DNA without having any health problems if the genes regulate something optional like hair color and not vital like proper muscle production. So you can have lots of dysfunctional genes without having any medical dysfunction.

It's usually a mutation that doesn't allow the gene to work properly. An important part of the gene can be deleted or the DNA sequence is changed in some other way. Sometimes a change in just one letter of the code can break the functionality of the gene. When the cell tries to make a protein based on the mutated sequence, it produces a protein that cannot be used for any purpose in the body or it cannot produce the protein at all.

Dysfunction of a gene. Not a dysfunction as in a health problem.

At the same time, east asian people are not known for having more trouble with being overweight. But that's probably much more complicated.

Yes, you're right. I just think the original comment was not about people wanting trans to not exist as a phenomenon, it was about people who know it exists, but who want trans people to be punished for being what they are.

You can always put them to sleep, you know? The fact they exist doesn't mean they will be allowed to continue doing so. Cooking a steak is a great example, but perhaps too emotionally charged.

I'd say aggressivity IS a part of human nature. Even kids can be aggressive while playing. It is there inside of us. Whether we use it for good or bad causes and in good or bad ways is what matters.
