    Witches do all sorts of things for curses, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the conditions don’t exist outside of witch curses. I don’t think many people would disagree that being trans sucks, though, they just disagree about what it actually is and what to do about it.

        Being trans sucks, like being left-handed in a world for right-handed people does.

        There is nothing inherently wrong with it, the problem is all the people trying to police your body.

          IMO, being trans would be bad even if other people were all supportive. Transitioning is a lot of effort and no one ever wants to have dysphoria.

            This was the turning point where I started actively defending gays about two decades ago. Before then I didn’t really care I was younger and it wasn’t really in my life.

            But if you’re going to tell me that some middle/high schooler is going to choose bullying by assholes by announcing (or someone finding out) that they’re gay there’s no fucking way you’re going to tell me that’s by choice. Leave the damn kid alone.

            Of course there’s more details than that but that’s the gist of it. It’s hard enough as it is leave them alone, it’s none of your business.

        How many trans people would choose to be trans, instead of being assigned the gender they’re transitioning to at birth? Obviously that doesn’t really work vor enbies, but AFAIK enbies are a minority among trans people.

          Me. Before I transitioned, and in my early days of transition, sure, I’d have made that choice if it were available to me. But now, years in? Fuck no. I don’t want to be cis.
