Made a tweak to your thesis, I think it has a lot of merit but form some/many of these girls the root issue is that what they see in the mirror doesn't match what anyone else sees when they look at her. It's a shame really, and it makes them too easily manipulated by people who want to use them in one way or the other (either to take advantage of with sweet words or to co-opt into mutilating themselves on the promise that will make them feel good about themselves finally, all to bolster their own advocacy)
“...on the promise that will make them feel good about themselves finally...”
Something like 60% of girls wanting to be boys are on the spectrum for autism. Lots of girls with OCD and anxiety also get sucked into the trans-cult. Feeling good about themselves for sure.
These girls also are outsiders and long for a group. But many people on the spectrum also have special talents and want to be recognized as special - but weren’t/aren’t.
The trans-cult provides them with a group to belong to, and also a way to be “special” (or at least different) than the “normals”.
Some girls turn trans due to being homophobic - but they like other girls. Some girls were molested by men at a young age and become “boys” to protect against that. Some kids are groomed by their parents (mom?) to be the opposite sex.
It is almost always rooted in a mental disorder, mental trauma, etc. There are some rare biological cases with mal-formed genitals that create problems as well.
Of course the trans-cult doesn’t treat the person’s underlying mental disorder. And most doctors and therapists are not allowed to strip away the trans-facade to get to the real issues. Hence the large number of suicides by trans.
Not because they are trans, but that they were never helped with the real causes of their problems. I suppose some may have regrets and kill themselves, but I don’t think that is the main reason.
Yes, I agree with your tweak there, it’s very true.
