Leftists/MSM will have you believe that transitioning is a cure for mental illness and its resultant suicidality. All it really does is lock the victim into having their disorder for the rest of their lives.
Everybody is different.
One of my friends is trans, I knew her for a year or so before another friend mentioned it.
I had thought she was kind of rough looking for a female.
She is a Trump voter and very conservative.
Seems normal otherwise, a hard worker and into several hobbies.
I still refer to her as "she", "her" etc., because, so what? Whatever makes her happy is fine with me.
There are interesting books about Edgar Cayce that might, as an aside, have an answer to why folks are what they are.
Suppose your soul had been incarnated many times as one sex, it doesn't matter which. Then suppose in this lifetime you are incarnated as the other sex. You won't know why, but you might look down and say, "what the hell is this"?
Of course you are going to "identify" as something other than what your birth certificate says.
Even more confusing, suppose you were incarnated in many lifetimes back and forth, one sex, then the other? That's when the "something else" might kick in, adding letters to the sex list.
IMHO, the few people who might suffer from this would be the "real" alphabet people.
Then there are the ones talked into it by parents, "teachers", doctors, etc., and the ones just going along with another stupid fad.
The latter is why no one should be getting drugged or operated on until at least age 18 to have time to figure out what might be reality for them.
“All it (transgendering) really does is lock the victim into having their disorder for the rest of their lives.”
Well said. Much like the act of suicide — a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
