I was severely anorexic, and recovered years before my transition. I know anorexia, inside and out. My anorexia may have been caused, in part, by untreated gender dysphoria. But gender dysphoria is nothing like anorexia.https://twitter.com/MrCrystalMighty/status/1348294238128250884 …

It's actually... painful. I have a friend I met in treatment, who is still chronically sick with anorexia which is slowly killing her. She's lost most of her teeth. She has thin hair and terrible color and lives in misery....

...She has begged me to tell her transition could be the answer for her, because I'm doing so well and she's so sick. I ask: Do you want to be a man? Would you be happy in a man's body? And she says no. It hurts so much to see her suffer while I'm so strong and healthy.

She doesn't just say no- she says "of course not". And I say, "well, there's your answer. It wouldn't work for you." But if there was even a slight hope that it would, she'd try it. She's been looking for a way out, and not finding one, since long before I knew her.
