So would you be amenable to removing this requirement?

In an ideal world, qualified professionals would push for and find alternative and less extreme treatments, but since transitioning is what people claim is a “cure” or treatment, I would say that if 1. The patient can acknowledge their sex, and that they are not transitioning to the opposite sex/gender, that their sex will not and cannot change and this procedure is purely to alleviate dysphoria and 2. If they are male, they agree to leave female spaces (and sports etc) alone, then yes, I’d be fine with those two points, coupled with a diagnosis of dysphoria, being the requirements for the procedure. I was only saying I agree that to me, altering the external isn’t a cure for the internal. But idgaf what adults do to themselves, provided they are mentally sound.

This way, though, females retain female spaces- though I’m sure many TW who pass or think they do would still invade spaces, at least we’d be able to tell an obvious male to remove himself from our spaces.
