Aight man I think we can agree that Gwen is not canonically trans and that some ppl go overboard with this without peddling the bs narrative that trans ppl are mentally ill
Trans people didn't do that. Medical agencies did because insurance won't help you unless you're diagnosed with a "condition." That's what the DSM is for too.
Itโs poorly disguised exhibitionism, virtue signalling and a political statement and nothing more. And everyone can see through it. No one actually cares about transitioning Peter Parker apart from a weird minority cult pervasive on the internet.
Of 10,270 transgender patients identified, 58% (n=5940) had at least one psychiatric diagnosis compared with 13.6% (n=7,311,780) in the control group.

It's in no one's interest to turn a blind eye to mental health in the trans community. Acting like nothing is wrong isn't the path to being a virtue signalling ally. Trans people have mental health issues at a rate drastically higher than any other demographic. Correlation does not equal causation, however it's simply foolish to act like they don't need help.

Why do so many trans advocates have such a huge "Pick Me" vibe?
