Unduereturn

I promise these are in good faith. For what it's worth. I'm green because I lurk more than I post and I don't tend to save my account data after more than a few threads and this is a topic which personally affects me in which I have experience to share.

One of my best friends from school chose reassignment.

And yes at that age we all fit that description, only he decided to take hormone pills and surgery rather than deal with the real issues he had from childhood and school.

I wanted to be a girl too to a while, I wanted a sister so I made one up and lied about it. I can't tell you why at my age now, my solutions to my feelings weren't really all that logical. I'm fine now. I'm a happy to be male, I got used to shouldering some of the responsibilities of being a man, still learning though.

And I'm a green account because I don't stick with an account for more than a few threads. I don't see the point anymore.

But I am being genine in my experiences shared, for what it's worth to you, which seems very little at this point.

When my mother was younger, there was a trend that girls were supposed to be shorter if they were to be attractive, and fit in.

So medical practitioners provided a 'solution', cutting a chunk of bone out of both legs to reduce height. (Usually reserved for people with asymmetric limbs.)

She desperately wanted to get this major surgery because she had tall poppy syndrome and didn't like life as the tall girl in high school. Her parents said no, it wasn't a real solution to her anxiety. She tells that story today and still rolls her eyes at herself for wanting to go through with it.

My heart breaks for these kids who've been enabled by their parents into getting irreversible body modifications. The worst part is that they feel rushed to make a decision because of the puberty window. This is a horrible time to be a child and a parent, truly.

This is very interesting as Ive been under the impression that Sweden is generally seen as very accommodating to transgender ideology. I belive that many people flock there for comfort in acceptance.

Perhaps they analyse and leverage more data of the outcomes and wellbeing of these people.

It seems like desperate kids, full of Internet obtained knowledge but lacking any real wisdom, looking for a panacea.
