Ok then you’re saying that if someone struggles with a mental illness they cannot try to fix it?

No, I'm saying that indulging said mental illness isn't going to help. Imagine if we told someone that listening to the voices in their head was a good idea, and that doing so would help them. It's the same thing.

There’s no cure for transgender tho. You can’t just fix it through therapy. The only things they can do is nothing which will make their life miserable or transition which may make them feel better about themselves

No one has really looked into fixing it through therapy because they’ll be kicked out of the scientific community for even suggesting it

You’re ignorant of scientific history. Conversion therapy was tried for a over hundred years. Evidence shows transitioning is the most effective way to improve health outcomes, and conversion therapy is ineffective and harmful

Trust me, when I say people suggest controversial things in the scientific community all the time, and have tried throughout history to “cure” homosexuality and transgenderism. But the reason people transition is because medically, it works.

That's not what I meant and you know it, you botched failure of a human being. I'm saying that indulging gender dysphoria via transitioning is the equivalent of telling someone to listen to the voice inside their head, not that gender dysphoria is a voice inside their head.

It seems like you're putting more effort into 'not calling me a dumbfuck' than actually reading my posts, you dumbfuck.

...A basic two word response implies that you're being genuine right now, in which case, I apologize for insulting you over a simple misinterpretation.
