And yet amputating limbs, and body mutilation is accepted treatment for mental disorders. Even lobotomy allegedly worked for some people. But maybe in the future they would put the bar a bit higher. As if this was a last resort when they have tried anything but. Not just some cosmetic trendy option..
On a podcast somewhere, I heard Iron Liz (
Linkara's ex-"girl"friend) say that when he looked in a mirror and saw a male body, it mentally horrified him to the point where he wanted to literally claw his skin off. The gender dysphoria was that bad. A few years with a shrink made GRS seem like the only way to find relief, so he did it. Although the surgery went well, he describes the result as something
physically horrifying, but at least the mental aspect was relieved and he doesn't have the dissonance shock when looking in the mirror any more.
So I'm willing to consider GRS as a legit solution to extreme cases of properly diagnosed gender dysphoria, but that shit is clearly a mental
disorder. If you aren't taking pills to calm down from looking in a mirror, if you don't have misfiring synapses that make you unable to live properly, then it's barbarism to inflict this kind of pain on someone.
And if anyone tries to tell you true trangenderism isn't a mental disorder, that it's not something to be treated and eliminated, that it's just normal fluidity as part of the human condition: shun those wannabe Dr Mengeles and don't ever let them near any sort of power.
"I never felt comfortable growing up so now I'm a real girl uWu" is the stupidest justification a hedonistic generation ever came up with.
