I'm not saying the surgery is wrong, I'm saying that it should be done as rarely as possible.  Like, I take antidepressants because I need them, but my goal with my psychiatrist is eventually get to the point where I don't need one.  Because any medication or surgery carries risks and downsides.  It's good we have safeguards in place to make sure it's only used when appropriately, but don't you agree it would be better if trans people could feel comfortable with themselves without needing it?

I can sympathize with people who have it because I get that they're going through something.  I understand psychological distress, even if I don't know their particular brand.  But sympathizing and understanding are two different things.

Can I just say how much I really appreciate the unintentional inclusion of Xenoblade Chronicles into this thread.  It needed a touch of levity.

They always identified as anime characters.  Now they can live their truth.
