Transgender People Are Not Identifying as Whatever We Want

There is misinformation going around acting like transgender people are just identifying as whatever we want, lots of anti-trans often make dumb posts on Twitter or other platforms like YouTube, Facebook, TikTok and more. They actually think they are cool making abusive statements and acting like idiots, they have no experience and boast how much of a bully type they are. Trans people are born with an identity that differs from the body we are born in, it's rare, intersex people also exist and are rare, how do you gender someone born with a 3rd sex chromosome? Chromosomes are only instructions, DNA is known to make mistakes, and with DNA expression if there was a mistake like the sex chromosomes aren't aligning with the brain development, it's no surprise trans people experience gender dysphoria. Trans people transition so our bodies can be more aligned with our minds. Some species naturally can transition from male to female so the idea gender can't be changed is wrong, it's unfortunate but humans don't have the ability to naturally transition without hormones, and some trans women get bottom surgery.

I suppressed my own happiness for decades there is no suppressing gender dysphoria, luckily medicine exists so trans people can start hormone replacement therapy and help deal with gender dysphoria. I grew up without no knowledge of what transgender was in high school from 2001-2005. I had experiences going back to the 1990s wanting to be a girl, wishing I could be a girl, and as puberty set on depression came and it became hard to cope I skipped class often. I knew changing genders in RuneScape was possible for 20 years I often did and out of fear of people finding out in real life I would switch back, eventually I stopped going back and forth and stayed female. I slowly got out of my fear of expressing myself, when I moved out into my own apartment I had freedom to wear female clothes all the time, it helped me cope without hormones, I hated waking up and having to back in guy mode. After a long time doing that I did every day for over a year I started the process to start HRT in early 2021, in June 2021 I started HRT. I spent a whole year thinking about transitioning or not, most of the reasons were because of other people or if I won't look pretty with my hair loss. Eventually I decided this is my life, and I deserve to be happy, screw what other people think. I was not really anti-big pharma but I won't take most of their medications. I researched and found it was safe so long as you don't have a problem with the effects. The very fact I can take hormones and transition into a pretty woman makes me feel wonderful, this is like experiencing the happiness I wish I had during high school. Just correcting mistakes that were made during DNA synthesis at birth.

Some people falsely believe because a child doesn't express typical female traits while young that they can't be trans, but that is false, if a child grows up in a toxic environment, it's hard to express yourself, many trans people have tried to hide it out of fear. I know from personal experience when I was a child when nobody was home I would express myself, which was super rare growing up but I had moments of freedom I never told anyone from a very young age, how could I when they would probably say what is wrong with you. Conversion therapy used to be legal in Canada. So it's like are you kidding me how can anyone think because someone didn't show it that they aren't trans? You didn't see, there is a reason there is a term called coming out of the closet. I didn't have a closet but I did a good job hiding it in my room when I felt nobody would barge in had many close calls. I never even told my best friends I didn't feel like I could trust anyone with that. Anti-trans misinformation has been on the rise and will make life more difficult for people so it's important for people to support media that debunk the misinformation. As more people learn the details less people will be interested in lies, many people know Alex Jones spreads a lot of lies so really you have a lot of media on the same level of misinformation and lies as Alex Jones who had to declare bankruptcy because he got sued for the misinformation causing havoc for parents and families of kids who were killed and Alex Jones tried to say they were actors and other lies.

So when people make fun of trans people and act like we identify as whatever we want, people are just showing their own ignorance, they have no experience or science to prove trans people wrong, science is on our side. Some people don't even realize a lot of anti-trans are religious and some atheists are known to fall for lies that was first rooted in religion. Misinformation has the effect of confusing people thinking they have a superior intelligence when they just demonstrate their ignorance and lack of understanding and total lack of empathy. When people don't have empathy towards other living lifeforms that is a red flag right there.

For religious people, if god didn't want gender to be changed, why would god create creatures on Earth who do? If god didn't want people to transition, why can trans people can take hormones and transition? Detransition rates aren't high at all and still many detransitioners often detransition out of social pressure, financial or medical reasons, some detransitioners transition back. There is a shortage of doctors and therapists because of violent abusive anti-trans extremists. Therapy is known to help trans kids determine if puberty blockers are the right choice before they are old enough for HRT. Some cis-gender kids go on puberty blockers yet anti-trans only want to ban it for trans kids. Tran kids are rare yet some media spread misinformation acting like LGBT+ information is turning everyones kids trans or gay, in Canada about 1% of the population is trans, it's not a lot of people out of the general population.
