Scientific evidence states that trans people currently are dealt with an unsolvable problem; by transitioning both before and after they have the highest suicide rates. There has also been two studies (n=1) that gave drugs to gender dysmorphic ppl and their symptoms stopped. 1/2?

Most SOLID studies this kind of topic are being buried because "transphobia" while 'grievance studies' are shat like hotcakes with no scientific basis; while trans people are left to figure out things for themselves. 2/3?

Most SOLID literature on the subject indicates it is a TREATABLE mental issue. Encouraging it as if it is a personality trait DOES NOT HELP and will most likely end causing more harm and low key outcasting. THIS HOWEVER IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO TREAT ANYONE POORLY. 3/??

Where are these "solid" studies saying it is a "treatable" mental issue? Here's 51 studies that say otherwise.https://whatweknow.inequality.cornell.edu/topics/lgbt-equality/what-does-the-scholarly-research-say-about-the-well-being-of-transgender-people/ …

Also, consider that the vast majority of trans people do *not* desire to "just stop having dysphoria and become their gender assigned at birth", and we generally don't give people medical treatments against their will.

I completely agree, however it does cause a lot of suffering and that should be the focus of society. Not acceptance or rejection. Actually ending the grief that it brings imo is the important part.

You only mentioned suicide rates, but even if that's true (which I don't know since you haven't linked to any sources), have you considered that perhaps a huge part of that has to do with how trans people are treated, and the *social* effects of transition?

Maybe the solution to decreasing trans suicide rates isn't to attempt to "de-trans" them against their will, but to treat them like human beings of their gender. Before, during, and after their transition.

Because I've met many trans people and I can tell you that the biggest factor in their mental health, especially after they start transitioning and improving their dysphoria, is how much support they have from people around them.

Of course but that won't fix the Dysphoria long term and it's irreversible ("trans regret" if I'm not mistaken). My issue is mainly with this not against trans ofc but against the "cult" of lgbt and normalisation that are doing the opposite of helping in the long term

"trans regret" only affects a tiny, tiny minority of trans people, which is pretty obvious if you just talk to them. Do you have any studies suggesting otherwise?
