The conservative movement has built its case against gender-affirming care on the authority of anachronistic, faulty clinical research.

Well for one a lot of people transition but they don’t “pass” and this still causes them significant mental stress. What if they had another option that was just as valid and viable? Isn’t the point solving the mental distress caused by the incongruence?
More choices are never a bad thing.
I think we should give you a lobotomy to make you more socially compatible with civilized humans. That way you could actually pass as a human.
I just find it strange you’d rather fix it by changing who we are then just letting us fix our bodies. Much of the concern with passing is fear from living in a transphobic society. It’s a safety issue, not an issue with incongruence. Wouldn’t better access to care solve the issue more readily than diverting resources to a supposed cure?
I find it equally strange that you would oppose that the option even be there. Or that the research be made at all. It’s not an either or thing, we can do the research and use the best available methods in the present to help you at the same time. And maybe even put some research into improving plastic surgery, hormonal treatments etc. I think all avenues should be fully explored and invested into. But trans activists seem to believe that there’s only one proper avenue and all others are damned. I reject that notion entirely, because it’s simply not in the spirit of good science.
I don’t think doubting the benefits of a currently fictional alternative medicine is an unreasonable position to take.
I think opposing research into potential treatments and further understanding of any condition is an unreasonable position to take.
Alright Dr. Mengele.
Well, I hope someday you get funding for your passion project.
