Their father helped sometimes, and stood up for them others.
This person admits that life is very hard and they have very bad days. But I also know that they are empathetic, kind, caring, and loving under all of the trauma.
They did ask me one time if taking the hormones and the surgeries would "make them a real XXX?"
With so much love and Grace, I told them No - but then medical science will never, ever, be able to change them at the DNA level. I'm sure Truth stung but so many will lie to hurt them, to enable their delusions that being honest and loving in the honesty might be a breakthrough.
Do I encourage them to keep talking, to keep working towards healing and eventual acceptance? Yes. And while plenty might be apathetic to someone who is sick and harms themselves with the help of others, it's better than the alternative - simply b/c if they are still alive, they still have a chance at that healing, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
You did right.
I’d like to keep working on a different treatment or a different non-binary kind of acceptance (not changing all bathrooms in the world, just accepting that some men feel like women and vice versatile, and let them be).
But I’d also like to focus on our environment that is destroying our soft neurological and reproductive tissues. I’d like us to back the **** way off of many neurotoxins flooding the soup we live in. We need to try. We’ve really been causing neruodegenerative epidemics in our elderly and massive epidemics of neuro issues in our babies.
Is it... antibiotics? Pesticides? Vaccines? Plastics? I have no idea. I think we should be far more careful with our environment than we are. We are reacting to something or somethings.
