think it's 1/3 "self-diagnosis" like when autism was SO fashionable mid-10s, those dang doctors just don't understand that your unique quirkiness needs validation and affirmation; 1/3 the usual "I want to be part of an oppressed group but without any of that pesky oppression" you get from some latte-clutching sophomore at an $80,000/year college screaming blue murder at her professors or some bored security guard; and 1/3 "cotton ceiling" (it means panties) narcs and cumbrains realizing they just have to grow their hair out and call themselves Jennifer and nobody can criticize them for breaking a window because someone wouldn't suck their dick

so eventually actual dysphorics who know they're dysphoric are gatekept out in the name of fighting their gatekeeping (where'd I put that comic of "go form your own clubhouse then" and then that gets taken over anyway?)

The modern system doesn't allow for any gate-keeping. If you went to a gender therapist and said "I lost a bet, so now I have to transition. How soon can you cut my dick off?" the chances are at least 50:50 they'll answer "we can book you in for gender reassignment surgery next month".

Okay, maybe I exaggerate a tad. But the point is, actual dysphorics don't get gatekept out. The problem for society, well, one of the problems for society, is the number of non- dysphorics who have (often irreversible) medical harms done to them in the name of ending gatekeeping.

I acknowledge your points about self-diagnosis etc but I still say that without the collaboration of the medical profession the worst these people could do is dye their hair blue and embarrass themselves on Instagram and TikTok.

By the way, autism as a self-diagnosis has not fallen out of fashion, it's going stronger than every. Google for "Actually Autistic".
