I'm an Egyptian trans individual who has been on Any Forums for years—6 to be exact. I've yet to see any definitive proof that anything which is largely accepted by the trans community is bad for them, and I'm here to address these issues.
Let's get a hot topic out of the way first: gender reassignment surgery is as necessary for individuals experiencing severe gender dysphoria as chemo would be for a cancer patient. Yes, some people still unfortunately kill themselves. But, every single person who undergoes surgery who doesnt is a person whose life is saved. It is not cosmetic, it is life saving.
Secondly, estrogen is not bad for your mind or body in any way as an assigned-at-birth male. There is zero scientific evidence that it is. This is baseless and only serves to scare people away from taking the medicine they need
Third: it can be "too late to change". I am 37 and I only began hrt 5 years ago. Within two years I was visually passing and now my voice sounds indistinguishable from any other woman's.
Finally, that it is bad for children to transition. Most children have no issue with this and think it's cool to know a trans individual. And giving children estrogen does in fact make it easier on them psychologically to go through their lives as a woman. There is zero evidence that any child has experienced adverse effects growing up compared to non-trans children.
I will talk to anyone about any of these things. I'm just sick of seeing baseless bullshit spewed about us on this board. Seeing that stuff early on in my transition made me think about some things I never want to think about again. And anyone who posts pictures of girls who are having trouble passing is participating in psychological abuse.

Why should I care about transpeople and their issues? No one who is important to me is affected, hell I don't think I even know anyone or of anyone irl who is trans. So why is such a big deal made about them, why can't they just do their weird stuff in private like everyone else?
You can’t be trans in private that’s the point and you completely missed it. In a perfect world once you transition, people around you should be supportive and address you properly but alas you know how it is especially in my country.

If someone can convincingly appear to be the other gender, they will be treated as such by strangers. By "private" I mean you go to the doctor, get your medication or whatever, and then do your thing, instead of hanging posters in schools, holding weird marches and rallies, and telling many people about it online or offline. That way it seems like you're just doing it for attention. And the same goes for demanding people around you be "supportive", what more do you want from people besides calling you a new name if you chose one? It all seems incredibly overblown for something that seemingly affects not even a percent of the population

>But, every single person who undergoes surgery who doesnt is a person whose life is saved Suicide rate amongst "trans" individuals is highest 7-10 years after transition. It's not "saving" lives, it's postponing their deaths.

don't care I will continue to be violently transphobic
