So many people make do with chronic pain or other bodily issues that make life harder for them, why is it wrong to say we should work towards giving everyone the option to fix that?

Now you want to eliminate people with chronic pain? Seems a little inconsistent.

I said to give everyone the option, not to push it on them. And it might be the case that people with chronic pain might have a unique culture that's worth preserving, in which case it might be unethical to encourage that option.

Also, it's kind of telling if you see transness as a condition of illness, like chronic pain. Being trans is wonderful, being dysphoric sucks, but the former is how I deal with the latter.

I’d like to assure you that chronic pain has no culture around it. It’s just hurting. That’s the only commonality and we aren’t celebrating it.
