This is why I don't fully believe that sex reassignment surgery is the best course of action for people with true dysphoria. In the same vein, I don't believe that people with severe body image issues should rush to plastic surgery or other things with irreversible changes. I believe their pain is real, but I don't believe that "being born in the wrong body" is a real phenomenon.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy among other healthy life practices (eating well, exercising, socializing, getting enough sleep on a regular schedule, etc.) are probably the best route for most people with or without body image or mental health issues. I'm not sure why so many people ignore the power of making peace with yourself and instead seek to become dependent on hormones and cosmetic surgeries.

I wish the best for trans people, but I also hope they figure out that they don't need to be trans to be comfortable with themselves.

Accepting yourself isn't easy, it takes time. For people with real dysphoria, like very feminine homosexuals, being extremely feminine and the social problems creates by this fact, can induce a sense of rejection and being more confortable in opposite sex appearance. But of course, your suggestion is the best. Cognitive behavioral therapy is based on stoicism, and has been helpful in dealing with my OCD. Mental health problem suck

I couldn't agree more. I have severe clinical depression and anger issues (which I've been working on intensively for the past three years), and most of the things I reached for were destructive coping mechanisms. I see a lot of similarities with trans-identified people but they aren't getting any of the help they truly need with doctors pushing for surgeries instead of holistic therapy.

Yeah, man. I 've been dealing with fucking OCD since I was a child. In general, mental problems are the most horrible to have, since they're not even taken seriously and you tend to be blamed for being sick. In the past, transitioning required long waiting. Today, anyone can say "I'm a woman" and being encouraged to fill their body with chemical shit, and that's considered progressive.
