The Human Ken Doll.

You are right about dysphoria, but it used to be seen, correctly, as a form of mental illness. Whereas now, it has met up with the fashionable academic idea that gender is “fluid”, and that there are not two genders, but many, self-created ones. This is actually taught to social workers, etc. So dysphoria has become the basis for a legitimate identity.
The sick ideology of a decadent society. Anyway, the backlash is coming.

Insisting on using the right words would help. Gender is a construct — i.e. it’s all in the mind. Therefore, it can be fluid, and there can be any number of genders you care to imagine. OTOH, sex is biological, fixed, and binary.
If someone tells you “there are many genders”; don’t argue. Instead say something like: “O.K, but, there are only two sexes, and you can’t change them”. Otherwise, you’re falling into a trap.
and all these ‘Detransitioners’ will be labeled as ‘hate group’ by the homofascist left-
Two things... First off, gender dysphoria is in the DSM. It is a recognized disorder. But it is one where it has great difficulty in being treated. There isn’t a magic pill to treat it. This is very commonly a life-long problem.
Second, there is typically confusion with the semantics. Gender and biological sex are different things. Biological sex is your genetic sex determined at conception. This is different than what society defines as masculine and feminine. And that does tend to be fluid not just from one person to another but it can change over the course of time and different cultures.
Ever hear of a “tomboy?” A girl that doesn’t dispute the fact she’s a girl but likes boys things. That’s completely normal. And it’s only logical to assume it could go the other way too where a boy may be happy as a boy, but like girl things. This is different from transgender.
Exactly. I was a tomboy myself, riding dirt bikes, playing with Tonka trucks, etc., but never felt the need to mutilate myself. This mentally perverse crap needs to stop!
Spot on, which is why the word “gender” was pushed/invented in the first place. It’s the Left up to their usual malicious tricks by first seeking to destroy language. Whenever I hear them talk I think of the Nazi’s and their “work camps” and “showers”.
And up next for her, brittle bones in her 30s. She’s going to have to be so careful walking on sidewalks or driveways with even a bit of ice. It’s not a fun experience for any of us living in the Tundra, but this poor being now needs to stay out of these zones entirely. She also can’t be in crowds for fear of being even minimally jostled. I wonder - did drs. give her testosterone, at least? I don’t know what testosterone does for bones, but it must have some effect.
Indeed. The root of much "gender dysphoria" is a profound unhappiness with oneself to the point of wanting to become someone else. Treating that unhappiness would be a lot better than surgically mutilating these people.
Another issue that arose was the young women’s discomfort with their adolescent same-sex attractions.
Something gays don’t talk about much. Perversion is a process, people aren’t born that way.
bttt
the blowback is beginning folks
For the doctors doing this it’s a double win: they get paid AND they get virtue signaling credit about how open minded they are. The needs of the patient aren’t really a factor in that equation.
And lest someone say “do you really think doctors are that mercenary?” I say “ones who mutilate their patients to treat mental illness are”
