I remember when I first heard the term "transgender" and saw a documentary about this person who was intersexual? Transsexual? Older term, but they basically were born with both and the doctor/parents had to choose. The parents chose female, and this person regretted it later and transitioned. "He" was very bitter towards the doctor and parents for years until she got older and realized they were just doing what they thought was in the best interest of their child. Even so, they had to go through a lot of counseling and therapy before transitioning, just to make sure. Seems like now it's less about what's best for the patient and more about what's best for the parents and doctors as far as supporting a narrative. Tragic!
