Imho the issue is most people transitioning in some way, deep down, know that this is the wrong thing to do. They are insecure and struggling so they need others to believe in the bullshit too, to convince themselves they are doing the right thing.

Of course the protocols are top notch because otherwise the might be someone who is duped. Of course the science is real because otherwise they are science deniers. Of course this treatment is the only way because otherwise they destroyed their body for nothing.

It's really sad.

On top of that the protocols do vary wildly even from doctor to doctor. Because this is not scientific. Everyone is just winging it pretending this all supported by science.

It's a mass psychosis.
