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?

Body integrity idenity disorder is not treated this way. In fact, it is completely and entirely disaffirmed. As it should be. As "trans" should be. And would be, if it were not for perverted politics.

I mean, no, this is false There are, in fact, case reports of people with BIID who've had an amputation, which appears to have resolved their condition Those are the cases the TERFs have seized on to start their moral panichttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4094630/ …

I mean. Literally the only thing we know that will resolve persistent BIID. Doctors are really fucking resistant to amputate healthy limbs for obvious reasons, but it is the ONLY TREATMENT WE KNOW OF THAT HELPS. Therapy doesn't do a damn thing for BIID sufferers.

And in fact in many cases what happens if you "disaffirm" it is people try home amputations with like, kitchen knives and chainsaws and shit.

The point that you are missing: BIID is where 'trans' used to be: and tiny handful of people with a severe mental disorder, who were at the brink of suicide. Then your start affirming, & it builds, & then every 8 year old with a pirate fixation has Biden's support for a peg leg.

Trans people were common enough in the good old days that they had a magazine in the fucking 1960s Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute was world famous for publicizing the concept of trans people and the Nazis launched a huge backlash against it in return
