Adopt the Gender Identity Platform or Else!

Most people don’t realize that the brain isn’t fully matured until we’re in our mid to late twenties. Certain personality disorders can cause delays until the mid-thirties. It doesn’t matter if a person is trans or not, everyone runs the risk of making major life decisions that they will regret later. It’s true that many transpeople have felt like they are the other gender since childhood, and some transition in adulthood and don’t regret it. But what about those that do regret it? Don’t they deserve compassion and support? This is people’s bodies. This is people’s lives.

I’m also concerned about how the Internet plays a role in people deciding they want to transition. I went over to the Blue Pill in Reddit yesterday and found horror stories of men convincing other men to destroy their own families for the dumbest reasons. Excuse me if I’m a bit skeeved out by the Internet lately, but I had to ask myself if people are doing this on purpose. That maybe there’s weirdos that get some sick thrill from ruining other people’s lives by giving out shitty advice under false pretenses.

I haven’t spent time in the trans community at all, so I can’t say one way or another whether there are psychological predators who play head games and get people to do things that they would not typically do. I do know that people often go online and ask questions like “Am I trans” as if a total stranger can tell them who they are or what their identity is. If you’re trans, then you should know you’re trans no matter what anyone else says, right?

And here’s the thing: if people are truly comfortable with their identity including transition, then someone else’s regret shouldn’t affect that at all. People are fighting the issue of regret and I have to ask why. For what reason would anyone literally anyone at all have against studying “political and peer pressure” to transition, unless they are culpable somehow? I’m just asking.
