It's all ridiculous but I've not met any trutrans people who weren't at least OK people. I'm against the ideological aspect of it all, not the individual trans person. If it had all stayed at pre-2015 levels I'd not care. Also this assumes most of them are men but women make up a surprising majority these days, and for different reasons than men. I pity them because it's more in the vein of anorexia and other such disorders but still.

I saw a chart recently showing that pre-2010s, the number of TIMs and TIFs were the same, with marginally more TIMs. However, the amount of TIFs has skyrocketed in the past decade because they're using it to deal with their trauma and body dysmorphia, which is no good.

Yeah according to the report, and not to repeat myself, but it's a whopping 5000% since 2010. It's ridonkulous. Seems its the default coping mechanism among young girls who have a hard time dealing with puberty.

Agreed, the HSTS trans people I know in the 2000s were absolutely fine.
