His beliefs could very well be based on "empathy" but this is why I believe empathy is being weaponized and is a dangerous tool in the hands of the people that believe in the transgender beliefs. These homophobes say "I am just trying to help you! If you say you're gay, and if you say you are a man who likes men, they will discriminate against you! They will make you go through a ton of pain! So, how about you learn and start believing you're a woman on the inside?". Just as a racist could tell black people in racist environments "I am just helping you and being empathetic! By turning your dark skin into a lighter color using creams, etc, you will get less discriminated against by racist people!".

The question is, is it okay to change people like this if it means the likelihood of them being discriminated against goes down after the change? Is it okay to tell gay boys and gay men they are women on the inside that's why they like men and that they should get hormones and surgeries and declare they are trans women?
