Why has being happy with your body become such a controversial thing? This makes me sad. Such a precious life destroyed over nothing.

I remember when Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" came out and she mentions trans people, and I remember thinking...but they don't want to be born that way, they want to change everything about themselves. It seemed contradictory.

We practice radical self-acceptance in every other instance (body positivity, etc) except for when it comes to trans people. It makes no sense.

Seriously makes no sense. We live in a society where we are encouraged to hate ourselves. It’s not like the parts they are removing is defective either. It’s not an infected leg or arm or organ. Healthy organs removed while in their teens. Insanity. Of course when they regret it they’ll exploit a woman to create a child as surrogacy.
