The ones who take this as far as physical mutilation do it because they're irredeemably evil, and they deserve every bit of misery they've inflicted on themselves. The fact that they're still trying to have sex after doing this says it all really.
Really? I've always had sort of a baseline level of sympathy for the ones that
actually go through with hacking up their own bodies because they were either duped by evil propaganda or are truly mentally ill. This data showing how awful post-op life can be for them kind of reinforces that feeling for me.
The evil ones are the ones out there creating the pro-trans propaganda that spreads gender confusion like a plague in their effort to create more trans.people. The ones that tell little children if they don't feel 'right' in their body or they happen to like things associated with the opposite sex they are trans and should start sterilizing themselves and hacking off their body parts. The ones that use the phrase 'gender affirming care' without the scare quotes that it deserves. The ones that use phrases like 'trans women are women'. The ones that smear anyone who doesn't go along with their evil propaganda as bigots.
Now, I'll grant you that there are plenty of post-ops that engage in that stuff, and if they do, well, they lose my sympathy real fast.
How do you think we can get through to people at risk of making such a terrible, irreversible decision?
I remember that I used to have bad anxiety and identity issues as a teen, but I was lucky enough to see a professional who seemed to truly care about helping me understand growing up and learning why I felt so powerless and misunderstood.
He showed me that there were many ways I could direct that negative energy into positivity and appreciate myself for who I am.
He never put me on medication and never got me to get any surgeries or anything like that.
Instead, he showed me how to understand and capitalize on what I appreciate most in life and simply treat others the way I want to be treated. He's actually part of why I ended up supporting Trump and being pro independence and populism.
Sadly, many young people nowadays aren't lucky to get someone like that in their lives.
I probably would have ended up going down the dangerous path these troubled leftist LGBT people go through now if I went through those problems about 5 years later than I did.
That's why I can feel so passionate about this topic.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It breaks my heart to see young people sucked into the trans black hole by sophists whose motivations are largely political gain or feeling batter about their own bad decisions. It's good to hear that you were advised by someone without those ulterior motives.
As for preventing people from making such a terrible decision I think that your experience was exactly right: young people questioning their (gender) identity should be gently reminded that sex is an immutable biological trait and that feelings of body dysmorphia (especially around puberty) are not uncommon and nearly always pass with time.
