For the hundredth time I have had to say this in these responses, I am a Scientist --your anecdotes literally mean nothing. I care about statistics, I cannot validate some story from your life and your personal experience is not reflexive of the entire condition of transgender people, that's why we use statistics to build our understanding. If you believe things merely based on sight and not data it is a wonder you don't think the Earth is flat.
And all of these points also just mean that we should be putting more money into gender research and gender care clinics so that we can more accurately diagnose and appropriately treat gender dysphoria in a variety of circumstances. This isn't an argument against gender-affirming care, it is an argument for BETTER gender-affirming care.
"My advise would be to dedicate your life to understanding not only those you align with but those you do not align with as well. diversify your experience with people across different places. Travel. Travel a lot. There is an enormous world out there and not everyone thinks so logically. Not everyone thinks it is absurd to change your body irreversibly—to garner negative attention, and still continue doing it. the fact is, some people feel terribly alone and invisible. And I don’t mean invisible becagse people don’t understand them, I mean people don’t even see them. Their a ghost. And they simply want to be noticed by any means possible. Any attention is better than none at all. And It’s not wrong to want to be noticed. We are social creatures. Even if it creates suffering and hardship in their life, at least people are noticing. "
This has nothing to do with gender. You're once again letting your personal bias fill in the blanks here, " to garner attention" you say this over and over again like it is a fact, but it isn't. It's just something you made up and are trying to use as a fact.
"But the reason why so many cis men have an issue with it, isn’t because you exist. Trans people have always existed. But when men change themselves to successfully look like a woman, but still have the genitalia of a man, men feel deceived. And throughout history men have always felt deceived by woman, and this is just another thing they have to add to the list. "
Surely you cannot possibly believe that the sex that was historically enslaved by the other sex was historically deceiving the other sex. Are you like ... a child or something? No offense I am just genuinely curious because it doesn't feel like I am reading messages from an adult at this point.
"People also talk about concepts they don’t agree with, and usually it is because they don’t understand it. But they wouldn’t put it on the internet if they didn’t want feedback. In their own way they are trying to understand something they can not fathom in there head. It contradicts everything they’ve ever known so they attempt to justify its existence with an explanation they can understand. It is The same thing you did when you didn’t think someone would change their physical attributes to be trendy. "
Here it is again, you think that someone would change their entire gender identity just to be trendy, but this is just a thought. It's not backed up by data at all. Just because you think something is true does not make it true, there has to be some kind of study or data or trial that backs it up. There is no trial backing the idea that " being transgender is a trend" because it isn't true... Obviously.
"They aren’t the first jn history. But it is the first time in history where we have people paying money for dangerous and extensive surgical changes to their physical body. (A body the medical field only “practices” to know, and doesn’t understand fully. )"
That's not true at all. First sex change was in literally ancient Greece. Do some research before you rewrite the history of my social group in the name of your preconceived notions:
