      Saddest part is how many young men and women are being put in such emotional turmoil that they convince themselves that they need to transition…

      Even the ones who don’t suicide have undergone irreversible surgeries (detransitioning doesn’t restore everything that is lost) that mutilated their bodies, lots of physical and emotional pain, and have to take medications the rest of their lives.

      The only ones who win in this are greedy surgeons and big pharma.

      If they want to be gay or lesbian or bi, they don’t need to wreck their bodies to live those lives.

        It’s normal as a teenager to not feel right in your body as you go through puberty. It’s normal to have a desire to fit in amongst your classmates. How many of us look back at old pictures from our teenage years and cringe at the clothes and hairstyles that were in at the time. Those weren’t permanent body alterations so we were able to change later on. Nowadays people take advantage of teenagers by convincing them that normal teenage insecurities are actually because they are trans and they need to make permanent alterations to their body in order to feel confident in their body.
