i'm genuinely sorry you have to deal with that. The world would be a better place if there was a greater focus on helping people feel comfortable in their own skin rather than seemingly embracing those cold feelings and letting trans people suffer through things like that.

I understand your viewpoint and that you understand how many people feel, and wish that core discomfort you feel could just be destroyed and replaced with the warmth that should fill you without having to make compromises to yourself or others.

You and everyone else deserve to be happy the way you are, and the medical field is doing you wrong by focusing on the wrong part of the issue, and I'm sorry so many people are so hateful toward those who suffer from that without understanding what they're going through. I'm sorry if what I'm saying is coming off as hateful, but I just want to see that core, inner coldness be replaced with happiness without people having to change themselves, and without that issue being ignored or glorified.

Okay buddy, I'm glad you're content with the way the world is and clearly don't care to see improvement in people's mental health without having to go through a whole body mod process first

Honestly that's pretty cool, and I'm glad you're happy with how you are now, I just wish we lived in a world where you didn't even have to go through that process to feel happy with yourself. People deserve to be able to feel happy the way they're born

I guess my question is why doesn't the medical field try harder to actually properly fix the suffering they're experiencing instead of just helping them with the part of the process that keeps them buying hormones for the rest of their lives to fight their own body's hormone production and sometimes involves painfully mutilating themselves?

okay, I acknowledge that maybe it's not prohibitively expensive for the end user. You don't think the development of new products to sell you also makes money for other companies in the chain? They have to develop the product, ways to harvest or synthesize the chemicals in it, deliver it, test it, and refine and iterate upon it.

Now that I've acknowledged that, are you going to acknowledge the moral implications of encouraging people to physically and chemically deform themselves to feel comfortable in their own bodies, whether they're okay with it or not?

I still stand by my point that it's like putting a band-aid and topical anesthetic on a 3rd degree burn and saying it's okay because the victim doesn't have pain anymore.

bruh

I understand your point of view, it's good that there's a lot of care taken to make sure the mental impact of transitioning is minimal, but the point is this is a huge amount of work to help someone try and cope with "being" something that doesn't align with what what they were born and biologically formed as. It's a noble sentiment, but we should be approaching the whole issue in a way that helps people realize that they don't have to change to be themselves.

what part of any of those things is female? you don't have to be female to enjoy "stereotypically" female things. that's pretty sexist and shortsighted of you, so I'm not surprised why, when surrounded with assumptions like that, they would feel the need to justify those preferences with being "female". maybe if you and the rest of their family were more open minded and accepted them for who they are, they wouldn't feel they had to transition in the first place.

just because it's less expensive doesn't mean it's right either, just hacking off your body parts to feel "right" in your own body is even cheaper but that doesn't make it tight, because you shouldn't have to feel that way in the first place.

if destroying the physical and chemical makeup of one's body is necessary to make them feel "right" in it, then it's definitely not a non-issue either, the fact that someone feels that way in the first place goes against their genetic and chemical makeup, as well as their physical formations resulting from that makeup, which gives you the undeniable truth of what you "actually" are, rather than any thoughts or emotions one might have.

bro that's fucking horrible and nobody should have to go through that but making people go through irreversible chemical, hormonal, and physical "treatments" instead of even trying to help their mental anguish is even worse. That's literally saying that cutting body parts off and gaslighting yourself into being okay with it is a reasonable fix toward feeling uncomfortable in your body, they should have the root issue addressed rather than having the entire medical field shit on them by making them think mutilating themselves is the right and empowering choice. they've fooled everyone including you, and it's all for money, because these "treatments" rake in ridiculous amounts of money and would bring in more money than just fixing their real issues so they can live a happy life phisically and chemically intact.

women, I've never spoken to one in my life and getting over my fear of them
