These would seem to be contradictory statements.
Not contradictory; aside from young children, when one is an adult it generally doesn't go away.
What if psychiatry says "yes, fine, transition if it helps your mental health" instead of "no repress"? Doesn't mean "slice you up"; it generally means "socially transition." Probably does mean "go ahead and take hormones," but you don't want these people breeding anyway.It's nowhere near the "best" we have. It's the worst we have. See above: it doesn't make the feeling of being the wrong gender go away. i.e. it does absolutely nothing to resolve the underlying condition or even treat the symptoms.
The best we have is therapy. It's such a shame people are so eager to shit on the idea of maybe helping people realize they're not the "wrong" gender instead of slicing them up to fake it.
