Description

I would like to discuss whether or not being trans should be considered unnatural, why it should or shouldn't be, and what this would mean about society's definition of what is natural or unnatural.

I am new or unfamiliar with much of the jargon related to debate and philosophy, so I hope the debate will be graded on the soundness and rationale of arguments, as well as on consistent logic and a lack of fallacies.

Please comment things I should change, fix or add for future debates.

Vote if you want to, thanks.

I thought I was debating Pro for transgender is unnatural, when I said it is true (I made this error twice) it is obvious what I meant.

"However, I will offer 2 counter-Kritiks before proceeding to explain why the resolution is pretty much inherently true once we observe the actual definitions of 'natural' and 'transgender'."

I meant 'inherently false' I got confused for a second there, I'll correct in Round 2.

Welcome to the site. Please do stick around for your debates, even when your opponents disagree with you (you're basically asking them to by initiating).

Are you transgender? Most cisgender people wouldn't post this as a debate.
