I'm inclined to agree. People experiencing gender dysphoria deserve our love and respect, in the same way a person with low self-esteem or anxiety or an eating disorder deserves our love, support and respect.

For example, anorexia is an eating disorder where an individual has a hypersensitivity to the perception of their body, specifically its size weight. Weight bias is another topic for another time, but suffice to say that society has people convinced that they have much more control over their weight than they actually do. People naturally come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and that's a good thing! Regardless, some individuals who struggle with anorexia believe that they are "too fat" and will try to limit their food intake in order to lose weight, often to an unhealthy degree.

I'm hoping that the next big social movement is a body acceptance and appreciation kind. The human body is an amazing thing. I hope we can learn how to better help people who experience gender dysphoria in the future and empower individuals struggling with their relationship with their body.

Please kindly face the wall.

If you liken being trans to a mental disorder you can get in the pit with the rest of the fascists.

In the politest possible way, go fuck yourself.
