People can spiel outlier information that caters to their single minded thought, but the truth is not binary. And the longer we allow people to think in the binary, the more the world is filled with hate and under developed minds. The world is a beautiful collection of humans, and everyone is valid. Trying to convince the world otherwise, that there is only one man and one woman and anything outside of that is invalid, is exactly the type of thoughts that dehumanize humans and that’s horrific.
    Well, the unfortunate reality is that any discussion about the negative impact has been heavily censored on the internet until the last few years. Also, life is really long. Transitioning makes you a life-long patient. What feels great in the moment, might not feel the same 30, 40, 50 years down the line when you're still reliant on constant medication and monitoring to perpetuate the choices you've made.

    If someone wants to sign up for that, go ahead, but a lot of people don't understand what they're really signing up for and its a big part of why self-harm rates only increase the further along someone is in their transition.

    You cannot change facts about biology. The world is pretty convinced of this. A lot of Europe is "returning to form" so to speak.

    To me, real love, truth, and compassion would be to help someone overcome their Dysphoria/Dysmorphia instead of leading them down a lifelong path of treatment and risks to their life.
    People have free will, they can totally choose to do that if they want to, but I don't think a lot of people seeking help or being encouraged to transition are looking at the long term.

    There are always going to be exceptional people who can handle all of this, but most won't and that's where my compassion and concern is.

    The world is already convinced that there are only men and women. You unnecessarily complicate your life and your existential issues by trying to exist outside of that. Even someone born with both organs can't escape it, you're still stuck within that binary. I'll also include my frustration that there are a lot of young girls, especially on the spectrum, that are being groomed and taken advantage of to be non-binary or trans in their teen years, which is the most vulnerable, confusing, and uncomfortable point in a girl's life, which is genuinely infuriating to me.

    No one is being dehumanized except for maybe medical companies seeing dollar signs when they know they'll be getting a new lifelong patient.
