Trans activist: "Helping dysphoric kids accept their bodies is transphobic because it assumes cis is a better outcome than trans." Cancer patient: "Going into remission & avoiding years of chemo is cancer-phobic because it assumes cancer-free is a better outcome than cancer."

idk directly comparing trans with cancer is disrespectful to people with dysphoria. it's also not likely to convince the undecided that gender crit arguments aren't 'hateful'. I like your site and what you do but this is making me frown.

Clinicians compare it to cancer ALL THE TIME. https://vimeo.com/185178522

It's a bad analogy there too. (Also *phew* the sex-role stereotyping in that video to 'diagnose' trans is so dumb!)

You've missed the point of the analogy. NO cancer patient would ever say such a thing, because they'd be happy someone avoided treatment. A trans person should be equally glad, not angry, if a child comes to terms with themselves and avoids drastic treatments.
