I mean, gender dysphoria does sound like a mental illness. But not one that needs to be fought. Treatment can be letting them be themselves.
I’m not too sure.
For some of them transitioning works out great, they live happily. Good for them.
For others it destroys their lives. There are quite a few who have spoken about how they deeply regret transitioning, many of them become suicidal.
Something like 40% of transgender people commit suicide post-op. Some say that it’s because of the way they’re treated and discriminated against, but from listening to many of those who want to destransition or who regret it, they had other mental issues which they thought would be solved by transitioning, but weren’t.
There are obviously people who want to support transgender people by normalising transitioning, but I think it’s kinda fucked up the way they try to silence and shut down detransitioners. Groups, videos and articles by detransitioners get taken down a lot by those people.

If we're not talking about kids, I'm fine with people doing what they want with their bodies. But ultimately I don't think that radically changing your body is the best way to deal with mental issues. Hopefully in the future, there will be a real cure for this sort of thing.
Well obviously they aren't doing society any favors so it behooves us to recognize that these people are mentally ill and do something about it.
Is somebody thought they were a giraffe, the solution isn't to make them look like a giraffe.
Yes. It's just daft people pretending to be something they are not.
I mean, some identify as an apache attack helicopter. But the psychologists don't seem ready to take the money to diagnose it yet.
Treat them like psychotics, letting them be themselves? they want to cut their body, it messed up.
Speaking as a fellow neurodivergent, let people be themselves. Either help us, if we ask, or get out of the way.
If you (not talking about you, asker) be trans, fine. Just don't make a big deal out of it. You don't deserve special treatment, your are not better or worse than everyone else.
it's kind of like being gay but not as bad. both are mental illness'
Do you advise anorexics should just be who they are?
Let them live as they want, literally has zero affect on my day to day
It's definitely a mental health issue. The problem in society today is that woke culture wants the normal majority to conform to the needs of the mentally ill minority.
Gender dysphoria is a mental illness and a very serious one since untreated it often ends in suicide.
Yeah, it is. We should stick them in the loony bin.
Simples...
To me, this treatment is like convincing a schizophrenic that the voices they hear are from God and that they should do what they say.
Good way to bring out g@g's homophobes.
