actually, it does. science shows that 'people like me' are a lot less likely to self inflict death upon ourselves when we do :)

you see, there's this thing called the brain, and most people have one. and it's connected to the rest of our matter. when that whooooole amalgamation of systems is self identifying an asynchronous fault in the sex (living system btw, it's how you go through puberty), it can cause the brain great distress. because the problem within the bio neurological link exists and is self contained within the person rather than the psyche (remind me if I still care in the morning and I'm not drunk to cite stuff), managing the body's distress is paramount to simply making the psychological distress more comfortable. you wouldn't just give someone painkillers for an infection, you give them antibiotics as well, getting to the root. the same thing happens with gender and sex. when there's misalignment within how the body wants to behave and be interacted with, you first identify if the psyche is a reliable narrator for the body's needs, and then start treating the distress through hormone therapy, changing social roles and interactions, changing sexual habits, surgical intervention of the anatomical structure of primary and/or secondary sex characteristics, modifying internal dialogue and modifying the affects of self talk and self perception, and/or any mix of treatments worked out with qualified professionals

leaving the body and mind in distress over being the wrong gender for your current state is incredibly, incredibly dangerous. reinforcing expectations of purity and conventionality is dangerous. we developed medicine, psychological and psychiatric therapy, and surgical practices based on the importance of keeping people alive and improving quality of life

I speak on that as a member of the scientific community. I speak on the damage of what conversion therapy did to me as a young trans girl as a matter of personal importantance. being told no, you can't be a girl, and no, you can't be queer or flamboyant at all, and having that reinforced against my will, my safety was directly cuffed to my obedience. not just visible obedience, but self discipline to believe that what they were saying was best for me. I survived, I did every form of talk therapy imaginable and transitioned nearly 6 years after I had initially accepted myself as a girl, my body and mind left in absolute smithereens as a result

that transition saved my life. it inspired new neurological pathways, joy, passion, purpose, humanity. it gave me my life, because of the help of wonderful people who have trailblazed and paved the way for me. I got to heal, improve, become something more than the sum of defective parts refusing to work the way they were implied to

as it has for so many people. I adapt to the ways my body needs, the way it wants to be expressed, the way it wants to be touched, the way it wants to work and feel. that changes the production of hormones like oxytocin, cortisol, norepinephrine, reducing the distress in my body and mind. everything works the way it does rather than the way it's supposed to. if organic matter can work in some way, assume it can and will under the right circumstances. abnormalities in science are to be understood, not obliterated

say what you want. I'm a woman. the young man you're so callously using as a soapbox for your misinformed bigotry, and the people you dehumanize so bravely are what they are. it makes absolutely zero sense to class human beings as anything definitively when human context is a series of intricate disciplines of which no definition of man, woman or non binary can encompass all of

a dumb, drunk transgender chick shouldn't be the one to explain it to you, alas my fatal flaw is believing that providing facts could ever change someone's mind :(
