Idk if it's a fair comparison but like a skinny guy who wants to be a bodybuilder will never be one without steroids and all that, but if he can put in the effort, he still can be a better of himself, one that he doesn't dislike seeing in the mirror. Same with trans people, they know they will never be a women, but they can 'mutilate' themselves and even change certain brain structures, bone density etc with hormones and what not to look more like they wanna look and be treated by others.
You don’t know, which is unsurprising, but it is both an unfair and fair comparison when you factor in the eventual results and the individuals reaction.
The “skinny” guy will get bigger, or at least more muscular and will grow in confidence either way.
The process is through repetitive exercise and training which is conclusively and widely proven to improve strength, muscle mass and has a positive effect on the body’s hormonal production.
Even people with muscular dysfunction, particular conditions or elderly people will see some improvements and feel a greater sense of well being.
Nothing anyone can do comparably can physically change or “improve” the sex they are.
If the “skinny” guy in question gets swole as fuck or strong and fit, without chemical or artificial assistance, but still feels inadequate, so then resorts to steroid use or those other crazy saline injections or even has silicone implants to make himself look muscular, then that is a bit more comparable to transsexuals, as there is likely a body image issue bordering into mental health concerns.
When it becomes an obsession, then it is comparable to transsexuals as it is clear that they are chasing a “perfection” that can never be achieved.
Now sure, roiders exist for reasons more than the body image issues, sports people who use steroids to get themselves an edge in their chosen sport for a start, but yes society is a bit more forgiving of say a wealthy vain guy getting bicep implants as he doesn’t have the time to work out.
This isn’t viewed as good behavior, but it is tolerated as it isn’t especially violating the safety, comfort and rights of others.
Transsexual processes, in addition to causing far more physical harm than Roids or implant surgery alone, also give dangerous actors potential to harm and damage the rights and comfort of the vulnerable.
Even the biggest of Roid freak wouldn’t encourage children to take steroids and live in the gym, just because a kid expresses interest in lifting weights.
Yet Troons insist that puberty blockers and surgeries are “live saving” for children.
You see the fallacy here?
It's just the more effective method of them staying alive we have so far afaik
Is it?
Is there a proven reduction in suicide directly linked to transitioning?
There isn’t. There is some anecdotal evidence which is always self reported from trannies, but there is zero empirical proof that it has had any effect.
Many transsexuals go on to commit suicide despite transitioning.
Many also suicide because of transitioning when they realize they have destroyed their genitals.
Is there any evidence that the ones who didn’t suicide would have without transition?
Nothing conclusive anyway.
but get well soon
