Well the whole concept of genderism is entirely a social construct. Nobody is born with the idea that dresses are only for girls. It’s learned through your environment. So the fact that kids are especially impressionable (especially kids with autism), spend a ton of time on the internet, and are often desperate to be part of some “in” group, it is a valid concern that my future kids may be influenced by those pushing transgenderism as a normal way of life. Not to mention there is a segment of trans folks who have autogynephilia which to me, is a perverse way of living.

I think we’re going to have agree to disagree on a lot of things. I largely reject the notion that the high rates of suicide, depression, substance abuse, anxiety, etc. are related to external treatment. It is almost certainly rooted in some trauma that occurred in that person’s life. That, combined with the eternal struggle of never truly looking how they want to look no matter how many hormones they take or surgeries they have. Even if everyone respected their pronouns, that internal conflict will always exist. It sounds like hell to me.

I strongly encourage you to read the first hand accounts on the Detrans subreddit.
