>>508453544 (OP)I feel like the reality of it, if handled gently, can be passed on. If gender is performative, why not just be a girly man? Sure, in a world where we can do sci-fi magic tier body generation, maybe a transgender person really can live out their dream, and all power to them. But now? Gender surgery is awful, no way around it. It will never be the same, and the risks are too great to justify. Even if they don't get surgery, is it desirable to be reliant on pharmaceudicals for the rest of your life just to be "yourself?" If gender is performative, why not just do your own dance, all that gay shit. Or perform as a man, as opposed to performing as a woman. Sometimes we don't choose our roles, but it can be better than we ever hoped if we stick it through. Regardless, love your brother anon, even if he troons out. We only get one, even if they struggle.
