Hello DJ17,

I'm not sure if you agree with me or not. When you say "we are willing...", who are you speaking for?

Allowing someone to follow their own path without interference is exactly what that person needs. But it's worth noting that the definition of "illness", which is gender dysphoria, has evolved a bit in recent years. It's now defined as the feelings of discomfort resulting from a mismatch between gender identity and gender expression, not the mismatch itself. The recommended treatment is do what's necessary to alleviate the discomfort, which usually means enabling a transition. For some, that may mean surgery, for others, just changing external appearance is enough.

What's unhealthy and can cause those suicidal tendencies you mention, is NOT to treat, either actively or passively.

I'm afraid your blanket statement that self-acceptance as "feminine male or masculine female" (which I also don't really understand) is not supported by the science. It's much more nuanced.
