I’m sure many, many who have chosen that option for a full blown sex change have at times regretted their decision, although I wonder if they would admit to it? Interesting 🤔
Doubt they would ever admit to it. They are starving for attention typically, so having an actual medical issue on top of a mental disorder makes it that much easier to garner more sympathy for their problems.

I stumbled across a list like this but didn't knew it was from that book. Thank you for pointing out

I can see some parallels yes. Frustrating parallels. I can only compare it like this: It's frustrating sometime to develop deep feelings towards someone of the same gender. Especially if the person is "normal" and never can feel such a love towards the same gender. And also when they know I am B, it's kind of awkward for them. For example I had a female friend who would go swimming with me after the muslim attacks on women in German public swimming pools.
She would never leave the public pool with me at the same time to avoid being in the open shower with me, was my feeling. She was a friend (she moved away), no deep love involved and I also "don't check out" her body. But she felt uncomfortable sometimes after she found out through third parties. I felt that reservation clearly.
A similar frustration has to build up inside someone that feels more female. Knowing that the never can feel or look like the gender they crave to be. I can understand that frustration from that standpoint. The difference is I can't walk into a surgery room to have that solved, transgender have that possibility. So I am kind of protected from my own stupidity in that strange sense, while they are not.
We are all just human beings and all deserve the same dignity, that's why I am shy saying it's always mental illness.
I don't understand how you "come out as Trans"? . I will admit that the CD in my username stands for crossdresser. I am a male and I like to dress as a woman. Is that a mental disorder? IDK, it is just something I enjoy doing. I do not identify as female whatsoever. I guess I am saying you can't come out as a transvestite unless he came home one day with boobs and a vagina. You get a boobs implant and have a penis you are a shemale or a guy with tits lol... Personally I will not do that. He is your son, support him even if you do not support his decisions. Yes I am Bisexual and he may be as well idk, and if you find 2 girls getting it on kind of hot, you have no leg to stand on to critize his sexuality. I am lucky. My father supports me 100%, he may not exactly like the fact that I am not a great football player or a soldier, but he supports me. The surgery thing is a whole nother level so I can't speak on that, Just love your son, go buy him a skirt and panties...
They will not.
This topic hits me hard as my oldest son (in his 30s) came out a trans a few years ago. I wont pretend to say that I get it, because I dont, at all. Hes has made it known that he wants to fully transition.
a reply to: yuppa hat does "gender dysphoric " mean? I am really not up on all this. I have never wanted a sex change but love dressing a a female. I am very luck to have a father that supports me, and live in a community that is accepting. But, without my fathers support, emotionally and sad too say financially, I would not be able to live where I do.
I myself am gender dysphoric and would had liked to had gotten a sex change one day,but I have accepted the fact that I will never be able to do that. I am too old and i woudnt look like i want to afterwards anyway. I also never took hormones either. for one,because i would be disowned and alone on a street. Living in the south is really bad place to try that. I love women btw, lol.

In a procedure called colovaginoplasty, a lubricant is sourced by opening up the abdomen and using part of the colon to join the gap and make the vagina. The lubrication comes from the bowel, and is constant
*shudder*
I ask myself, do these doctors tell them all those details and no red flags pop up in the one that desires this? I am not judging, I just ask myself how desperate some have to be to do this.
Is it mental ilness? To give some perspective, I am B and I know it's not normal. Something is differently wired and I have no issues recognizing this, I can't change it though. But the insight is there.
No human is faultless or pure. It's sad though to see them suffering and even more suffering after these decisions. Maybe just like a sect or cult, they blend out all the negative consequences?
Can we blame them or is it mental illness? In the sense of that it's not common/normal? Like I wrote, slightly different thing with me but I acknowledge that it's not normal. And the word abnormal is just the opposite of normal to me, it doesn't bear a negative taste.
Does that make sense to anyone?

a reply to: Mandroid7sounds like you know. Can you set us up with the links you use?
Op. I'M NOT READING THAT nightmare juice.
Seriously, you guys haven't heard of 4chan?
There's daily pictures of this on there.
Usually with a cute girl, then it gifs to the hamburger scenes.

Gosh it's a long story, and complicated. Lots of moving parts (no pun intended.)
The whole "transphobia" label/accusation made any discussion of "gosh is this really a good thing to encourage this person to do?" (be it hormone injections, mastectomies, "bottom surgery") synonymous with hate speech. Therapists in some places were prevented from counseling towards accepting their bodies-- this was considered "conversion therapy."
Web sites like Reddit shut down whole sub-reddits that were poking holes in the narrative. Censorship, de-platforming of anyone who spoke out.

a reply to: themessengernevermattersNor will I, But I do not identify as females.I enjoy dressing as a female. Is it a disorder? IDK. I enjoy it so who cares.
I am in the same boat as Yuppa, in that I suffer gender dysphoria; since puberty, but I am non transitioning, for a multitude of reasons.
The anonymity of the internet helps me be freer than I ever would be personally.
