I’m sorry but no. There’s no condition or scenario where anybody should have this done. You cannot change sex. You can wear what and act how you like but SRS is a path only to pain and complications. It’s inherently unethical. It should never be done anywhere to anyone. That it’s done to children is as bad as it gets.
There can be no scenario it’s OK in. I’m glad you’ve detransed and I hope you find a satisfying and peaceful path forward.
Appreciate the input. But I lean pretty far on the principle of autonomy, so if someone decides, and is an adult without disability or serious health issues, and knows, let them do it. Freedom means freedom to make mistakes too. People can’t change biology, true, but ultimately it is their body.
I think taking an absolute position such as you have isn’t great for how things are at present. Is your goal to share views, or help people stay away from transitioning?
I think that a mentally and physically healthy person will
very rarely transition. Best to do for now might be a cultural shift of not promoting gender roles, transitioning to be happier, increased non-ideological mental and physical healthcare, and getting people to eat better and touch grass. That’s how I would help a relative wanting to transition, support their holistic health.
I studied German history, and there was nascent trans research and an LGB community in Berlin between the wars. There were a few dozen people who got trans treatment at that time- literally the most experimental there could be. Think literal one in a million people, that rare. They knew the astronomical risks, that they would be outcasts, that Hitler hated them. And still they did it. I think these individuals represented the tiny fraction of intersex or truly trans people. They were issued special papers and ID that acknowledged they hadn’t and couldn’t change sex, but were profoundly different people, and the idea was to keep them from being shot or beaten on the street by treating them as sort of gender “exceptions.”
Modern trans thinking is not this. I think if the West lost the trans narrative, understood true risks, and was more healthy overall, what should happen with trans people would become (and should) more as it was in 1920s-30s Germany; i.e. they’re vanishingly rare exceptions, but don’t harm them.
Going to stop now, I could sperg about this period in early history for ages.
