ill tell you why im not really freaking out about this.. virtually every aspect of life in america swings between two polarized opposites, culturally. right now, gender reassignment is the new prozac, if not the new aspirin. a lot of people are choosing reassignment surgery when what they really need is to get to the root of *why* they feel compelled to pursue it. and because we (the left) have decided that any effort to 'tap the breaks' in that process is intrusive, prejudiced fear and an infringement on personal liberty, a lot of people are making irrevocable mistakes that push them over the edge.
tl;dr: gender reassignment should be undertaken by people choosing to pursue it from a place of mental well being and stability, but we are telling people who crave mental well being and stability that gender reassignment can solve their problems. thats fucking disgraceful.
so yeah until we de-stigmatize the assertion that carving up your body and pumping it full of life-changing hormones should be an end not a mean, a lot of legitimately unbalanced people are going to end up in the queue.
so yeah im not entirely up in arms about this, pragmatically speaking. least of all because most trannies cant pass for shit.
