People should not be forced to change themselves because you do not agree with their conception of themselves.

Yes, this also goes for people who want to remove a limb or something like that.

Suicide rates r higher than gen pop after transition, but not higher than trans ppl before transition, iirc.

For someone who really is dysphoric and wants to transition, it's part of who we are, it's not separable from our sense of self. So conversion therapy to try and change how we feel about our sex should never be forced, only if someone wants to undergo it.
