You're a short motherfucker and nobody likes you!

flute noises BITCH!

Everybody says, "Look how fucking short that guys is."

And that stops you from forming meaningful relationships.

When you were born everybody thought that you were just a head

But then the doctor said, "WAIT!

This stupid, motherfucking, tiny, short-ass baby Got a tiny, little, itty-bitty body

And I hate it!"

LOOT THAT BODY

This feels like a whole mixed bag of a message, IMHO. Hey learn empathy, but also witches ~~make folks trans~~cast body dysmorphia. Maybe I'm missing it.

One witch made one man trans. It doesn't mean that the mission of all witches is to give out gender dysphoria, nor does it mean that trans people are trans because a witch did it. Life assigns these sorts of things apparently at random anyway.

I mean, a true sceptic could imagine that the witch in this comic had no magical power at all, but her words filtered down through the man's psyche to where he has always been struggling with his identity, and they gave him the excuse to face it.

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.

i disagree, being trans is great

So you rather not be born the sex that you identify as?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Not who you're asking, but I wouldn't have wanted to be born cis

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

If everyone was supportive, I think it would be fine. It'd be seen like needing glasses. We just need this relatively easy medical care and it's far less effort if intervention is done before puberty.

Transitioning socially would be less of an issue too since it'd be seen as just something that happens sometimes and has been normalized.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Counterpoint: I need glasses and it kinda sucks. If I could just choose to be born with perfect eyesight, I would. And bad eyesight is generally much easier to diagnose and the treatment (either a prosthesis, i.e. glasses/contact lenses, or just getting lasik) is much faster than gender transitioning.

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

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.
