genuine question:
if transition is the only treatment that works for gender dysphoria, why are so many trannies still extremely depressed and suicidal even years after transitioning? why do trannies who have been on hrt for years and pass 100% of the time still struggle with dysphoria and brainworms?

because the purpose is to trick people into sterilizing themselves
it was never about making people happy, and the people promoting the ideology don't care if you are or not

why do rich white cis men still have misery and mental issues? It's like what the Buddha said: life's a bitch and then you die.

Traumatic life experience, imposter syndrome, and the fact that society hates us which is obv going to make us feel awful

>>40622970 (OP)
Because you are seeing the ones on 4chan that are full of Blanchard brain worms and bdd

Usually people are dysphoric about not being female. They don't want to be trans women, they want to be actual women. They start HRT and it makes them feel better, but it never makes them feel fully like women.

It's very common for people to get one surgery, address one area of dysphoria, and then later become more dysphoric about a different area. And then need surgery again. Because gender dysphoria isn't curable, it's just treatable.

Even if you're a 5'3 HSTS passoid, you're still a male and can't bear your husband's children. Some people learn to be satisfied with this, but deep down it tears apart every trans woman that she can't have her own child.

Also, the term "gender dysphoria" is just a label for a specific cluster of symptoms that have divergent psychosocial causes. Gender dysphoria is not one thing. Becuase of the proliferation of troon propaganda, there are a lot of people transitioning who definitely wouldn't have 20-30 years ago.

HRT and gender affirming care can be a good last resort treatment option for severely dysphoric classical transsexuals, but the modern cohort is full of people who are low-to-mid dysphoria and/or have abnormal sexualities who have become emotionally attached to their trans identity as a maladaptive coping mechanism.

If people actually hated trans people you wouldn't transition.

If chemo treats cancer how come stage 4 still kills people? Checkmate libruls

>>40622970 (OP)
because it's a treatment for incongruence, and dysphoria arises from incongruence
but you still have other issues like traumas, societal acceptance, and remaining incongruence like not being able to give birth or the threat of losing rights

Lol retard I’m repping for that exact reason. Other people are braver than I am so they actually do it, but not me

>>40623032
this might be the most legitimately inexcusably retarded thing i've ever read on this board desu

>>40623050
do you not think there's a slight difference between "i want to be an anime girl :(" and "my organs are failing"

>>40623023

>>40623023
Well said

Exceeept for this. Fuck. At least it's a woman problem, and not a trans problem per se.

>>40623201
gonna believe this is ragebait and move on

20-30 years ago I'd have just had to live as a gay man because of how visible you were required to be to transition back then. It's kinda funny how the existence of diy made me go from quiet resignation at my situation to needing to do something about it really badly because not all hope was lost whxsr

>>40623023
How do I become emotionally un-attached to trans identity and stop the maladaptive coping mechanicsms?

>>40623193
Rest assured, true trans doesn't exist. Nobody is "born in the wrong body". For some people their dysphoria is just so intractable that it's worth it to live out their life as a simulacrum of the opposite sex.

With that said, I do think it's harmful to high-dysphoria classical transsexuals to get attacked because of this new cohort of low-to-mid dysphoria troons who don't try nearly as hard to conform. But philosophically a 40-year old AGP and a 20-year old youngshit HSTS passoid are both just males who have undergone sex trait modification to appear like the other sex. Neither are any closer to actually being women.

I wish I lived in a society where gender transition wasn't available desu. But the toothpaste is out of the tube at this point. WPATH needs to be destroyed and gatekeeping needs to return, but it's not gonna stop people from using transition as a maladaptive coping mechanism.

>>40623343
That depends on how your trans identity developed. For some people, the realization that they need to transition is a pseudo-spiritual experience. If you're deeply attached to your trans identity, it takes a similar series of events for you to realize it's not the right path.

I don't have an easy answer for this because it took my life falling apart and a severe, years long mental health crisis for my trans identity to die.

You do have to fill the void somehow. The Jesus cope works for some people. Coping with substances is probably healthier and better for you than transitioning in many cases.
