I don’t know if this is on topic but I think it’s related enough. A few days ago, a friend hit me up and was obviously upset about something. I guessed that she thought she is trans because she mentioned it before; I was right. She was very hesitant to open up about it because she knows my opinions on transitioning. The thing is: she said she would rather be dead than transition because she knows it won’t give her what she wants. She is gender dysphoric but refuses to be trans, she just remains suicidal over it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone be in this position, and it made me realize how fucked they would be. She would get no support, I don’t know what a therapist would say to her, and what can she really do about it besides try to cope with it? I suggested maybe a “healthier” approach to gender nonconformity like putting on a little muscle, but she shot that down.
I already guessed that’s what she was feeling because of her other mental health issues, it just made me realize that there’s basically nothing out there for her to look to for guidance. I’m sure there’s more people like her out there. This may be unpopular on here, but I do believe gender dysphoria exists and sounds miserable to me, but I can’t see the trans shit as the solution.
Also, if you were truly dysphoric, why would you transition? That must be “better than nothing” in their minds, but that veil is profoundly fragile which explains a lot of their behavior.
Sorry, this was a bit of a ramble but I just wish I had more to help her with.
