If there was a way to cure Gender Dysphoria by fixing the brain,they'd be a huge backlash like fixing autism.

Someone replied back by saying this"I'm sure by the time you do find a cure you'd get about the same backlash to it as if you tried to cure autism."

You could have claimed you have crippling autism, and demanded a severe apology.

The funny thing is that i am on the autism spectrum and from my experience it can be both a blessing and a curse.Like sometimes noticing things and having a full dedication to something can be a positive cause you would know a lot about it.However,it's a curse cause for example to some it can make you fearful of advancement or afraid of big changes in your life.Of course if there was a way to cure autism then there are some that i've seen online who would gladly take it.Gender dysphoria on the other hand i have never once herd of one positive thing about it.Which is why i find it so bizarre how it's celebrated like it's something good when it's not.

Yeah I've known a parent with a non-verbal autistic kid who often has meltdowns. She'd go for the cure in a flash if only so her kid can experience life with less issues. Some people might call it selfish to choose for her kid but I don't think she's wrong in wanting an easier life for her kid where he'd be able to communicate more easily at least. Every parent wants the best for their kid i'd hope.
