Do you agree that "gender identity" is a defense mechanism to avoid dealing with true underlying issues and trauma?

I noticed a very disturbing pattern that so many seem to willfully ignore:
The vast majority of trans people or non binary people or anyone really that identifies as anything other than what they were born as have often had a turbulent past.
Absent parents. Strict parents. Child abuse. Assault by an adult. Low self esteem.

And they all justify this by saying "it's because I've been living in a body that is not the same as my gender" which is a way to say "the reasons my dad didn't love me is because he secretly wanted a daughter and because I actually am a woman on the inside that means he will eventually love me"

But mainstream media and medical "experts" keep reinforcing gender identity is being a real thing further putting these people who need to examine their underlying trauma in a false comfort zone of saying " you don't have to go through the painful process of healing, just change your gender and all will be good for you"

So what's the solution here? How can anyone get thought to those people and put them on a path to get help instead of plugging their ears and screaming into the void hoping the monster under the bed will somehow leave then alone

Pretty much. Most misdiagnosed "gender dysphoria" nowadays is just mental weakness and insecurity finding an excuse for itself. "Being brave and manly, or shaving my legs and being feminine, is too hard. Let me pretend to be the opposite gender and get special attention for my mental illness, instead of admitted to the asylum." And the worst thing is how many so-called medical professionals are all in on what is essentially child abuse on minors.

The minor thing is a deal on it's own:
I wouldn't even get into a debate about it. It's child abuse plane and simple.
No medical profession condones the mutilation of healthy non life threatening organs. But these people have no problem messing up a person's entire reproductive system before they are old enough to understand what the consequences of that true are.
And when those kids end their own lives as teens or adults it's always swept under the rug and disguised as being something else.
Bottom line this these "experts" need to be stopped.

Seems like you are suffering from Confirmation Bias, you cherry picked a handfull of transpeople to whom your theory applies, while ignoring all the transpeople who grow up in a caring and protective environment and all the cisgendered people who grow up in a toxic environment and didn't change their gender identity.

It's mental illness, males and females are born like that, gender identity is an delusion.

“Gender Identity” is purely a mental illness. Plus it’s “trendy”, now. People do it for attention.

No it's a forced political agenda.

Yes, trannies are all mentally ill people.
