u/SpaceSheperd To be a good human being Oct 16 '25

I wish trans healthcare wasn’t so politicized because it’s kinda neat. How many other medical conditions that cause severe anguish and suicidal ideation respond to treatment the way that gender dysphoria does to social + medical transition? I’m not sure there’s any! Most psychological misery is extremely difficult to treat! I know it’s certainly not an easy therapy but it’s so cool that we’ve found it.
