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.
