Science-wise, what are the arguments for and against transgenderism? Is it true that transgender people have brains of the sex they transition to? How is it different from transracialism? What is the general academic consensus? How is surgery for gender dysphoria ethically better than having surgery for body integrity dysphoria? Why is it so heavily politicized and so closely associated with homosexuality/bisexuality? Serious answers only please.

Here. The title is not that crazy, but the paper is indeed one for the meme gods.

I'm from Canada, so my experience may be a tad different, but it was quite pleasant. Pretty comfy, profs were always nice, helpful and had lots of free office time. Classes tended towards the easier side, as most students there are destined for education. Word of warning, if you decide to do anything more than a bsc, you may need to switch out half way through. Also, if you have one bad prof in your major, you may be forced to take multiple classes with them. For instance, my Uni has two (2) math profs and an engineer. Only one prof is good, and I'm sure you can imagine how the engineer is. It's similar for any non-biochem stem major here. Philosophy and physics only has one. Depending how big it is, you get to know your fellow classmates pretty well. My Uni has about 1500 students (I think), with only ~30 or so being math majors. Would recommend, 8/10.

Is this true?

Oh, Taylor series, why didn't I think of that. Duh! Thanks!

It's the first unsolved problem I was introduced to.

Good luck brother. I tried 3 times to get into my university's film school. I ended up going into geology because they wouldn't even let me try a 4th.

You're almost guaranteed a job if you graduate with a film degree, it's the getting into the department that's hard.

Thank you sir. It's just physics and chemistry.

I am a PhD Candidate in Physics after majoring in physics, during which in high school I felt like I was shit at because I just couldn't get it and an undergraduate experience where I felt like I was always behind and never insightful.

I spent two years away from the field, during which I thought long and heard about my attitudes and experiences as a student. I asked myself whether or not my feelings about physics were due to how I felt or due to the experiences and conceptions I had about the process I had been through.

Long story short, I decided to enter graduate school and am still here because I spent the time to think about what I really disliked about physics, and, more importantly, what I really liked about it.

I'm not saying you should go major in physics, but I will say that you should not let a bad experience, a bad teacher, or a bad idea about what you can accomplish mar your decision making process.
