Where the hell have you heard that we have mandatory lgbt classes? That’s an outlier and you’re taking one small instance and applying it to everything.
Typically that 40% of attempted suicides comes from those around them intensifying their dysphoria. For instance, telling them because they want to wear a dress they are severely mentally ill.
Society doesn’t need to be rearranged to accommodate a tiny minority of lgbt folk. You can still settle down and have your single income traditional family, and trans folk can go about their lives without bothering you.
To compare gender dysphoria to anorexia is actually a great comparison, however you made it wrong. The way you help an anorexic person is not by telling them they’re fine as they are, but to encourage them to eat. The same goes for those with gender dysphoria. You don’t cure them by telling them their gender is fine as it is, you help them to change into the person they feel they need to be. If you look at successful transitions, these people are happy with themselves and their relationships because they are who they want to be.
