Genuine question. Why do you think a trans person goes through medical transition if they have other options? I was adopted. When I came out, my adoptive family threw me away like trash too. Why would I live a life with having lost two sets of families if I didn't feel extremely strongly? Do you think it's the men? Do you think it was hard for 20-something Twink Brianna to catch a dick? Why would I make everything about my dating life harder and more dangerous if I had a choice? I am deeply aware of how much you all hate me and people like me. I got that lesson with childhood beatings and isolation, and dehumanization for my entire life. Why stay this way? Do you think having your face taken apart is fun? Do you think vagioplasty was a great weekend? I paid for all this myself, without insurance. Why would I do that? I'm in my 40s. I am acutely aware of how much easier a time men have at work than me. Why not detransition and get all that male privilege if it's a choice? This is something unchangeable in us. It's medical in nature, which is why HRT is such a miracle drug. In a world where humans delighted less in hurting others, all of this might engender empathy. But we don't live in that world.
