Isn't gender dysphoria just a medical rationale for the freedom to consume medical substances and change gender at will?

I don't see that should be a problem in a free country, but no one would want to do that unless there's something wrong with them. Unless they're unsuspecting children or snowflakes who've been duped by groomers and TRAs, which is why we do have to be extremely careful about where this desire is coming from.

Isn't lack of knowledge pretty much just a guaranteed in an imperfect, free world? Couldn't we assume that there are many approaches to HRT that really aren't as imposing as you make them out to be?

You have to be careful about it because of all this TRA nonsense grooming people who are really just socially awkward into thinking they're a different gender and sometimes trying to transition. Then they get real dysphoria and destransition, and then a lot of women (which is most of them) go blame the trans agenda on men and become TERFs.

Wouldn't you have to track everyone's medical decisions if you hoped to prevent gender dysphoria false-positives?

Their motivations need to be thoroughly checked. Are they complaining all about their biological makeup, or are they just struggling with gender stereotypes and feelings?

In a free world, wouldn't your proposal to track medical decisions result in total surveillance? Couldn't I just order HRT pills anonymously in a free world?

If they wanted to, yes, they could order them on a whim. But that would be a foolish decision on their part.

Isn't it really not much of our business at all what others freely choose to put in their own bodies?
