I think that’s a reasonable approach. I believe that it gives them feeling of happiness, but as you said, it feeds their delusions. For comparisons anorexics also feel happy in a way when they lose weight. Yet with anorexia most of people want to help those who suffer and help leads to having a healthy relation with body, not constantly losing weight to the point of health risks or death.

It’s possible that change of style might make someone happy too, it’s a normal thing that many people do and yet the trans crowds associates appearance with sex/gender so it’s a trap. Just like these girls who think cutting hair shorter is a sign how non-binary they are.

And when it comes to something as radical as surgery, it’s even worse. Literal self-harm in the name of becoming the false self. No real help for their identity issues, only validating the results of trauma or porn addiction.

Not gonna lie, this is so surreal to think of. To be so obsessed with altering your body, wanting to have the genitals of the opposite sex (and other sex characteristics) because if not, life will be a misery and might end in suicide. Crazy stuff.
