I think the analogy is perfect. We can see it actively happening in front of us as people post here. We follow a select group of obsessive SRS posters. They endlessly talk about their next fix literally because of how many revisions they undergo. They put their entire lives on hold, quitting jobs, ending education, staying home as AGPs while their pregnant wives work, all for a years-long surgery schedule. Once it's finally up, they don't find themselves happier. They take one of two roads: extending the process by finding more surgeries they need to get the sex change because their past operations had issues they can see clearly after the high subsides/spend several more years with detransition surgeries, or they self-destruct and get even worse mentally because they have no more goals. You don't think it's harm reduction because you are rational and perceive these processes for what they are- normies and trans activists see at harm reduction because the alternative is death (by suicide), but of course there are worse results post-op.I disagree with this analogy. There is evidence that supervised injection sites cut OD deaths considerably and help people get clean. Vancouver has these legal heroin clinics and has had great success. It sounds crazy but if it works, it works.
@Bush King I don't think these things should be compared. Harm reduction for drug addicts has good evidence for lessening death and even addiction itself. But saying hormones and surgeries are "harm reduction" when they don't lead to longlasting mental health benefits is just wrong. There is no harm being reduced. It's adding physical harm because there are lifelong and unfixable effects. Tranny activists will pretend they are all like the rare cases like that Netflix movie where she cuts her dick off.
I don't want to derail this even more so I'll have my final piece on harm reduction: cutting OD deaths is all well and good but it's a misleading statistic. There is far more societal harm in encouraging these things. I don't hold a high price on the lives of those who willingly put themselves in the position to OD. Anyone taking drugs has to accept the risks. I accept the risk of cancer from smoking. I don't accept the risk of OD'ing from heroin or fucking up my life with crack. Making it safer takes away the responsibility from these decisions. There were never any needles in my local park until junkies were able to get free needles and substitute drugs from the hospital. Harm reduction for the dope fiend is harm production for society.
