To think that changing your physical form through invasive surgery and hormone treatment would be able to make your mental anguish go away... it's something else. I mean, by definition, people who choose to transition are in a very susceptible place. It's a lot of people thinking social acceptance leads to personal acceptance, when they're practically uncorrelated. It's only those who are weak willed that think that they can only be happy if everyone else likes them. It really is disturbing that such a practice is just accepted, this sort of indoctrination. Person feels self-conscious and depressed > Person shuts self off from healthy support systems (if they had any to begin with) > Person becomes internet addict > Cult tells person that their problems are due to social norms > Cult manipulates person to think that their thoughts about wanting to live a different life are signs of "dysphoria" > Cult feigns concern and tells them transitioning will help solve their depression > body mutilation > darker depression > 40% suicide rate.
