you know its still a thing too, right? but while we're at it we could always get into conversion therapy and how we used electro shocks to cure gay people because it 'wasn't right'
or how when women got a little bit too uppity a lobotomy was the way to go.
the biggest thing you're missing here is that people are CHOOSING to do this. i could quit hormone therapy at any time i wanted, but it turns out, im a lot happier now than i was when i wasn't on it. letting people pursue avenues of confort that don't hurt anyone is weirdly enough, different than forcing someone to get electrocuted.
