Because it’s reassigning someone’s gender - e.g. making a female body look more like a man’s. We don’t have the technology to change someone’s biological sex, but we can help them by giving them a body that more closely resembles their gender identity.

People can do whatever they need for their identity, but they need to remember it's just an identity. It exists for a reason that does not come from within a person. That's the whole premise of an identity, pursuing a specific treatment from society based on how it identifies you. The happiest people in human history give few fucks about their identity.

So I can see why some people find it sad. But I can see why other people just as caught up and trained by society would be mad, not really understanding it's got nothing to do with them.

Almost everyone cares deeply about their identity. People's identities just pull from different things.

An equivalent would be banning a certain sport or type of music or food type, etc. that people identify with.

If they tried to ban football or rock music you can bet a lot of people would lose their minds.

Yeah, everyone's got it to a degree. Some will be violent over those sports. Others simply make sure they look professional before going to work. I think people just need to remember what it all is at times though, before harming themselves or others in the process. I get upset at people hating who they are as much as people hating others for who they are, like anyone hada choice in it all lol.

Can't wait until we've passed it on by and socially evolved, but I will be long dead when that happens. Until then, don't let people get ya down and just be you, y'all!

I think the point is they don't hate who they are. We don't let them be themselves. They hate who they are forced to be.
