Same. He seemed like he might actually be open to putting some though into whether he was actually trans in the original post, but those nutters in the comments are determined to not let that happen. Poor kid should stay away from reddit.

Nah the whole point of hum complaining to reddit about his therapist reveals that the "I have doubts about being trans" is just pointless speech on his end. He is mad that the therapist isn't removing those doubts because he knows he really wants to be trans but wants someone to lie to him and tell him everything will be fine if he transitions.

It's the nature of the issue. Kids for whatever reason fixate on gender transition as an escape from whatever real problems they have and the ones already down that route absolutely go after anyone who dates questions that route as it as they are deep into the sunk cost fallacy and can only keep those questions away themselves by going after anyone else who casts doubt on it.

Ultimately though if people transition when that isn't their actual problem in the first place, then their depression and other life issues haven't been dealt with and they'll eventually reach a point of even worse depression when they realize transition didn't work, can't distract themselves anymore from that reality, and also come to realize that they could never actually transition in the first place and kill themselves anyway.

Give the basic rule to anyone, if you have any sort of mental health issues or depression, worst thing you can do is go online for help, why would you want a bunch of other depressed crazy people giving you advice? They're like the last people you'd want to listen to.
