it's not a mental illness.

i want you to get this straight, because you seem to be having trouble.

i don't need people spreading around the idea that i'm somehow DEFECTIVE because testosterone doesn't jive with me. are you saying it actually does, and i'm just in denial? you don't think people should have a right to remove it from their bodies? you think that if you have a Y chromosome you should be forced to uphold some kind of masculine gender ideology? i get you have your ideals of human mechanical function. but variance within these parameters, whether regarding sexual preference or whatever, these things need not be measured up against what is more likely to occur, just because they are less likely to occur. you don't get to cite biology, because i am one million percent sure you are not a biologist. and whatever studies you wanna cherrypick to refute me, well, if i had the time, i could provide you with dozens more.

your discrimination between this and that, it's pointless. it's pointless socially, it's pointless medically! like where you were saying "blah blah hospitals need to know". yeah. you tell your insurance company what organs you have, the problem is solved. that's it. they don't care. why do you?

and if you wanna make this all "yes, but what about the ones that DO wanna believe they were born the other sex". well, sure, transpeople have weird things where they would rather not think about it, or whatever. it's not the norm, not even CLOSE to the norm. most of us are sweethearts that just wanna get along without hearing some douche in every possible place on the internet talking shit about us without knowing what the fuck they're talking about.

so why is any of this relevant? to this sub? to this site? to this life?

you can't answer that. you have nothing. this unsatisfying exchange ends here.
