I do wonder tho... If there's ever a real cure for this. Proper - you now feel good with your born gender one. How many of those fucks will be against it.

I was actually in a back and forth chat with a few people about this online, and someone brought up about how in the future, technology will probably evolve in a way where people could actually change their sex.I brought up how we'd probably find a way to cure the part of the brain that's causing their dysphoria before any of that.Legit the reply i got was 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."Also this "Changing your body to match the way you want to present to the world is a fundamental part of humanity. Wanting to "fix" the desire that people have to change their bodies just seems extremely unappealing."These 2 replies i got have convinced me that this was never about helping trans people but more so playing God and trying to alternate reality.

Lol, did they just compare transgender identity disorder to autism?

There's a huge overlap, so it's not even that crazy.

As for curing autism, those who actually suffer from it would benefit from a cure. What's the controversy?

I don't disagree. If an autistic person would benefit from a cure, it should be made available to him. Some autistic people benefit from their condition, but those people are the exceptions that prove the rule. Autism is a disability.
