Well... there shouldn't be trans people. No, I'm not literally Hitler and want the people who are trans gone, the phenomenon shouldn't be a thing. Gender dysphoria can and should be treated by helping people accept who and what they are, and what they are is male from beginning to the end, or female from beginning to end. People cannot ever switch, change, "transition", and there is no "in-between".

Of course, I described sex, not gender, but gender is even more fictional - and even more harmful. At least sex dysphoria is real, and I want the absolute best possible care in the world for anyone suffering from it. Transitioning just isn't it. Not even close.
Gender does nothing but hold people back. Stereotypes, the colonization of LGB issues and spaces, the brainwashing of children and parents into chemically and surgically altering perfectly healthy boys and girls into - I'm sorry - freaks who have no other choice but to flee into insane hugboxes like egg_irl and r/lgbt

I suppose I do have a positive outlook on the trans community, in that my outlook is "in a hundred years, we'll see transitioning the same way we now view 'hysteria' and lobotomies"; the pessimist in me is just afraid that it'll take a lot longer than that, and how many innocent youths it'll kill on the way there.

Fucking hell, man. You hit the nail on the head. I've been trying to find exact words for how I feel about all of this and you did it.
