    All this shit that should be studied for links to autism and the RFK braintrust is focused on the cheapest, easiest, lowest effort, yet effective healthcare we have.

        I know they’ve always been around but there’s a huge increase in the number of people that identify as trans over the last 15 years

          Disclaimer: I am cishet, so I might be ignorant.

          The hard dilemma many of them are placed in is being unhappy and living as a cis, or potentially being happy by living as their true self. Unfortunately many choose the first option because the latter is believed to be worse. This is how it has been until quite recently. They are basically caught between two bad situations. In which one MIGHT be better.

          Some people talk about how some people regret gender affirming care, and want to reverse it. This is something that is sometimes done, not as a result of actually being cis, but because they believe it is easier than being openly trans. It is incredibly sad to think about.

          All society have to do is not give a fuck, and they would be able to be themselves. Instead so many people are being forced to live unhappy lives. Just because we could not give a fuck about something that does not affect us.

          Partly because media focus bringing attention to the idea you can be trans. Partly because increasing acceptance. Not breast milk hormones
