i've always believed that gender dysphoria is a mental health issue, so it should be solved with non-invasive mental health treatments. learning to love yourself as you are and strive to be a better version of that person, rather than trying to force change, is a good lesson for every single person to learn.
if it isn't gender dysphoria then it is a fetish and we shouldn't let children be exposed to fetishes or alter polite and fair society to accommodate for fetishes.
i wish people would see it as a problem to be solved rather than an identity to be celebrated. doing that causes damage to everyone.
this is literally the thing that began my shift away from progressives in high school and got me questioning things i wasn't supposed to question.

Weirdly enough, I still believe it might be a mental ilness, since I personally used to suffer from a body dismorphia.
But, that doesn't change, that these people attacked my way of life for over 10 years in the most vicious way possible. I lost childhood, and I will never have a normal life.
So, they made their choice.
No one bothered him, I mean people would stare but it was kinda like "whatever dude".
Then all of a sudden it was like YOU NEED TO RESPEC THEM, GENDER IS FAKE, I IDENTIFY AS A SEXUAL SEA TURTLE and it just went the hell off the rails.
I honestly don't think, prior to the giant woke movement, anyone honestly cared. Like you'd see it occasionally and it was kinda known it was like a gay/homosexual niche thing but it never went any farther than that.
I have no idea, but im glad it seems socially we are getting back on the rails because that was a wild like 8-10 years lol.
