I disagree with it ethically as well. And I disagree with it being the only effective treatment. But as I’ve said so many times- I don’t give a fuck what a grown person does to their body. I simply think they should be rational and mentally healthy when they do it. And I think it changes nothing significant, so males should stay out of female spaces regardless of what they do to their bodies.

And it’s not just one sex, I feel that females should be mentally stable before getting these types of surgeries as well.

Can you produce any ethical study saying there’s another way to cure genital Dysphoria? Or a statement from a trans person who had their genital Dysphoria successfully cured?

It’s the only effective treatment. And even if you don’t think it should matter legally or anything else it still changes something significant, it makes life tolerable. That’s what should matter when you are talking about care.

Okay- if it’s the only treatment, I still think that patients should be able to acknowledge and agree to what I said before being operated on. So if someone with the mental illness of dysphoria can acknowledge the things I mentioned, as I said, snip away all you want as long as they are an adult. I can keep rewording this but I’m basically saying the same thing, masks.
