Are you seriously saying that you think dysphoria - a mental dissatisfaction with one's healthy body - is best treated by major surgery on the body, causing potential infertility & loss of sexual function, and by taking untested drugs?? Rather than just dealing with the distress?

The thing about the politicized "detrans" communities is that just like the "ex-gay" communities before them, they're pretty much lying about there being a "talking cure" for dysphoria If you peek at their own discussions with each other dysphoria is still a constant struggle

The idea that it has an "underlying cause" that can be "dealt with through therapy" is crap There are no substantial numbers of people who've stopped experiencing dysphoria because they made peace with their father or learned to respect themselves as women or whatever

I mean, it's never worked Come on, back when all of mainstream medicine thought of trans people as freaks and the explicit goal of most therapists was to "cure" you and turn you into a cis person, THEY FAILED

No, but they've had over a hundred years to come up with one that works better for making trans people cis and they haven't

Every time you snark and I see it, I smile. Call this my latest 'Thank you for being such an awesome ally' because every time I see you fighting it helps me feel less...well, like societal trash. So yet another silly 'Yo dude, thanks' since it's what little I can do
