I recognize that gender dysphoria can manifest in many different ways and different people are going to find that different treatments work best for them but I in no way support "alternative treatments for gender dysphoria" that are really conversion therapy/practices.

Accepting one's body without modification is not inherently good or superior to transitioning. Transitioning isn't selling out, betraying women/lesbians, indulging mental illness or whatever. How many people would go for "alternatives" if transition wasn't stigmatized?

Transitioning is often the best treatment for dysphoria and when that's the case, it doesn't make sense to deny one's self that treatment. It has risks just like any other medical treatment but the solution to that is more research to reduce the risks and improve it over time.

"Alternative treatments for gender dysphoria" that are just conversion practices dressed up in feminism or psychoanalytic jargon help no one. They're "treatments" that "help" people suppress who they are, that feed on self-hatred. They're psychological abuse and self-harm.
