TRAs were angry when r/gendercritical existed. Now they're mad s/gendercritical exists. It's almost like banning subs doesn't delete people from existence

Entitlement is the backbone of trans ideology IMO. Not just the demands of transspeak and space access, but medical accommodation. To even consider having non-necessary surgery on a healthy body just to make it match a mental image that never was...how is that not the highest form of vanity? The threats of "Do this or I'll kill myself" just add to the abusive and narcissistic manipulation. Refusing to be gaslit makes them SO angry. I'm no psychologist, but perhaps a person who wants to make irrational demands of everyone around them, mutilate their body, threaten suicide for compliance and violence when they don't get their way isn't mentally healthy, and shouldn't be trusted to make good decisions for themselves or others.

To my knowledge there is literally no other mental illness in the DSM where anyone would recommend responding to repeated suicide threats from the patient by capitulating to what they are demanding. Imagine if literally anyone else did that to a medical professional and how they'd be treated.

They would be thrown in the goddamn loony bin is what would happen to them.
Transition used to be a compromise that a patient went to along with therapy because is often no curing GD. Now it's being presented as a magical cure all and it's creepy AF.

Tbh most TIMs never had GD, they are AGP crossdressers.

They used to get filtered out by the psychiatrists.

Quite.

Yeah, exactly.

I think it's basically malpractice to respond affirmatively to suicide threats, as a mental health professional or other health professional, but what do I know.

Anorexics and bipolar people don’t have rich lobbyists and perverts on their sides.

exactly. we don't go around telling people with eating disorders their self-image is correct and they're actually overweight, because that would be immensely harmful. we don't go along with someone's hallucinations when they're schizophrenic. the TRAs are the only people who's delusions are being treated as reality.

And not only are their delusions being treated as reality, they are getting what they want out of uttering threats. Normally if a mentally unwell person threatens to kill themselves in front of a mental health professional or medical professional, that person is responsible for institutionalizing them until the threat has passed, not giving them stuff they want.
