RE: "Do as I say, not as I do": Why I stopped believing ANYONE benefits from sex traits modification

Wow. This post answered one of my main questions: "If transitioning is terrible for your health, mentally and physically, why don't more people detransition/why are so many trans people so happy?"

They're addicts. Good God. It makes so much sense. They're getting frequent hits of the attention and validation they crave, and if it stops, they'll feel even worse than before.

Yesterday I was reading a TIM saying he couldn't trust a relationship with a bisexual woman, and found the idea of a relationship with a lesbian more "validating". And I didn't get it. You're getting to have sex with a woman who's going along with your trans delusion, what do you care if she likes both sexes?

But it makes sense now. It's not about fulfilling his sexual desire for women nearly as much as it is fulfilling his addiction to "being" a woman. That's what he really craves. And he can't get it if he knows on the back of his mind his girlfriend also likes men.

The idea that there are 'happy trans' people strikes me to be as much of a myth as the 'happy hooker' myth. Sure, there are people who have yet to experience the worst harms of it, and people who have convinced themselves that they're fine in order to not face the reality of it, but the foundations of either situation and the beliefs that lead them to be possible are harmful. Misogyny is at the heart of both.

The reality is that you cannot change sex. How anyone can claim to be genuinely happy while living a lie is beyond me. Every moment of the day, you’d have to check yourself to remind yourself to play act. Every look, every ‘mis’gendering would rankle so much. You’d be full of ire at the members of the sex you were emulating. Why do it to yourself?

They are high-functioning addicts. And yes the 'good' old schooltranssexuals are trying to criticize the overreaches of trans ideology, but still want to be 'affirmed' in their delusion. The author put it so much better. It is sad tho as I have a couple of trans Identified family members, and there really is no place for them in this new emerging gender critical world view. I think lots of people are going to think like the author of this post in years to come. [...]
