“to challenge pharmacology’s
fake panacea “therapy””
Maybe you should challenge the sexologists, then?
THe specialty who’ve been actually studying the condition for longer than you’ve been alive. Pharmacology is what those people (endocrinologists, psychiatrists) turn to. “I need to do THIS to the body, what have you got?”
“that causes harm irreparably.”
Oh, yes. You finally feel comfortable in your body, you stop having to hide or think about what your reaction should be, filtering your purchases, what part of the story to laugh at, and just live. And well-meaning friends ask, “Aren’t you afraid the changes will be permanent?”
Fuckers.
“I’m heartened poor Hippocrates did not live… to witness [transgender treatment].”
Yes, you certainly are. Hippocrates was fond of actually trying to find out what he was talking about. Ten minutes with you, he’d be asking if there was someone else he could talk to.
“and loving hearts of every creed are threatened, shamed, and told that we are toxic, transphobe families who don’t care for the least of these,”
Well, you insist that YOU’RE right, and telling THEM that your bigotry is superior to their actual experiences. You know fuck-all about the condition, the therapy, the prognosis, but that doesn’t stop you from wailing about how victimized YOU are.
“who, dragged away, are promised peace and stripped of personalities.”
I only know a few transgendered people, but holy crap i would never describe any of them as missing a personality. Now, graduates of certain officer programs…
“Their minds are filled with fitful dreams, death’s lust for virgins to appease.”
Don’t quit your day job. And if you ever see your muse, kick her right in the balls.
