      Something tells me you are a) thankfully not a medical professional. b) hopefully not a parent.

      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

      Yeah no If you go really broad then yeah there's no "final cure" for anything, we all know that transition doesn't make dysphoria suddenly vanish But it works a hell of a lot better at alleviating dysphoria than any form of therapy does

      This conversation is confused to begin with because "depression" should really be thought of as a symptom or cluster of symptoms that we think of as one "condition" for convenience's sake There is no one cause of depression, there are many - and some of those CAN be "cured"

      TERFs like to say that depression and dysphoria are "comorbid conditions" when really depression is a symptom of dysphoria, as it is a symptom of so many other things Many people who become paralyzed also become depressed, are those "comorbid conditions"

      When we say "depression" it's often difficult to pick apart what should properly be called "major depressive disorder" and mere "situational depression", because the world sucks and so many people's situations have always been bad But changing situations *does* treat depression

      It's very, very obvious that unemployment and poverty both cause and greatly exacerbate depression You'd have to be a real shitty therapist to look at someone in that situation and say "Well getting money is beside the point, they need to learn coping strategies for being poor"

          "Why would you suggest giving someone money, a mere *financial* remedy that affects the bank account, for what is clearly a *psychological* disorder affecting the brain?" (And of course plenty of conservative pundits do say shit just like this all the time)

          Or, from "the other direction", someone who's been shot with a bullet through the leg and can no longer walk and is in constant pain is likely to become depressed Should we avoid treating their leg because that's treating the body and not the mind?
