re: #163 windsagio

I didn’t say ‘correct’ though.

To be real talk for a minute though, there really is something wrong with truly transgendered people. They’re usually intensely miserable before they come to terms with it, and if they’re miserable enough that they go for the serious options, they’re generally still pretty unhappy and messed up.

There’s nothing “wrong” with transsexuals. Or, at least, nothing that cannot be mostly addressed. The gender identity of a trans person is not in line with the gender identity forced on them by society based on genitals, causing massive amounts of stress and trauma. The treatment is allowing them to break free of that forced identity to be closer to how their mind is. This can mean changing names, dressing differently, hormones, certain kinds of surgery, etc. And the end result is relieving the stress.
