It's just so fucking depressing, knowing so many of these men will get older, and they they'll realize that all the surgery in the world won't change the fact that they will still AGE like men, too. They won't realize that they can never be women until they're too far into it to change it, and then they just become a statistic.

You'd think a disassociative mental illness with a high suicide rate should be TREATED and not catered to...because obviously feeding into the delusion and allowing it to grow could only have super positive results, right?

We shit a lot on TRAs in this sub but these people are in need of help. The majority of those trans people on the frontpage are explicitly showing signs of male pattern baldness. No amount of bangs is going to save you from that, I'm sorry. No wonder these people are so pissy about nobody wanting to date/fuck them. Everyone and their mother is lying through their teeth about how gorgeous and valid these trans people are.

Seeing this sort of shit is really saddening. These people are hurting and pretending that this person is a strong beautiful empowered woman isn't helping.

He looks better with the make up and the cleaned up eyebrows, that's for sure. I wish it was normalized to just let men make themselves pretty, (or at least less ugly?) if that's what they want. Like, I don't even understand why women are allowed to make their skin look perfect through makeup but men aren't? Same with eyebrows. In many cultures it's normal for men to get their brows cleaned up in the barbershop, it's part of the package. But in America, people will literally freak the fuck out. People got so nasty and confused when they saw the guys from Jersey Shore get their eyebrows cleaned up.

Anyway that had nothing to do with what you were saying, sorry. You're right, gaslighting these people and telling them they are gorgeous women is cruel.

Regarding that picture, I'm sure the person on the left has faced a lot of rejection and regarded themselves as a failed man. Nobody is allowed to tell the person on the left that they're not a stunning and brave woman, and if that person is told no, its because TrAnsPhObiA. The logic of their 'transition' makes sense to me, but it's so blatantly maladjusted, as well as harmful to everyone around them. Can you imagine being that person's female coworkers, or kids?

I imagine this isn't a controversial opinion on this sub but if you have, especially non-adult children, you are selfish if you want to transition. If you want to be some single 40-something trans person with no partner and no children, whatever. But the moment kids, either your own children or child transitioning gets brought up is when this libertarian attitude can no longer fly.

Most of them do not have any type of surgery neither do they take hormones.
