The reason gender affirmation treatment has become the standard way of treating gender dysphoria, is because is has vastly better outcomes wrt mental health including suicidal ideation.

Dealing with the mocking such as the sort of posts you see here a lot, does put a different kind of pressure on transgender people. So there are external influences that can affect depression and suicidal ideation after the fact.

One of the downsides of parts of the world with heavy metal pollution in the water or less than ideal genetic variation in the residents.

Gender affirmation is just denial. In order to have a real solution we need to have a real cure.

Gender affirmation is just denial.

It has the best outcomes.

In order to have a real solution we need to have a real cure.

Until we can grow a new body that matches the brain and connect it up, we'll have to make do with what we can do that has the best outcomes.

No one is born into the wrong body with a mismatched brain. Such bullshit.

People are born with mixed genders. Sometimes the mismatch is between the body and brain's gender.
