I am tired of every sub glorifying trans people. It is a treatment to help a serious mental disorder, and a poor one at that. I have full support for most of the LGBT community, but I am struggling to justify the praise being trans gets. They are people, and being trans is wrong anyway.

Many trans people regret it after a while realising it’s a phase, and many only do this in the first place due to abuse, which is being hidden by ridiculous support for trans people. Becoming trans is not fixing your dysphoria, same as handing a suicidal person a rope because it’s “what they want” doesn’t fix the problem.

I would not label my self as transphobic (if we go with phobic in this case meaning hatred for). I see them as people, but I still question them. It is wrong. Think about it for a second. Chopping your penis off for a semi-functioning fake vagina. That is not normal. I understand why people do this, but this is not the way to fix not feeling comfortable in your body.

Sorry if this is incoherent, repetitive, or lacking correct terminology. I am just tired of glorifying something that isn’t safe or normal.
