They try and make weak parallels between transition and like encouraging starving someone, which I guess makes sense if you don't think about it at all and don't trust doctors or decades of science

This is an absolute classic dumb anti-trans argument trying to conflate anorexia with being trans, used to justify conversion therapy It doesn't make sense if you think about it. What do I want in both cases? Treatment that's been shown to work and make their lives betterpic.twitter.com/aXGiibn5FM

i don’t think they’re ever gonna see transness as anything but the desire to change and/or mutilate your body
-
linking gender dysphoria to anorexia has a kind of logic to it, so long as you ignore all testimonials from trans people and/or people with anorexia

and some bonus points for thinking positive vibes is the cure to anorexia

kinda highlights how little they know and how flippantly they treat... uh, everything? Reminds me a lot of the religious conservative parents I grew up around. Getting closer to Jesus was the cure for everything, goddamn it's so easy how didn't i think of that

weird how when you indulge an eating disorder it kills and when you indulge a trans person we blossom almost like these are very different situations that need different care

It shows that even nowadays when we are all so clued up, most people really have no clue what it is to be trans

Every medical condition has a different treatment. Their example would suggests that they should all be treated the same. I guess they think hypoplastic left heart syndrome should be treated by teaching self-acceptance instead of meds and surgery.
