Ah, Blanchard's theories on autogynephilia which have been debunked and rejected broadly by the scientific community and are really just a sexist reduction of gender identity, positing that the only possible reason a person born male might want to transition is because they are sexually turned on by the idea of being a woman.
Good of you to not generalise this across all trans women like Blanchard did but still bad of you to even entertain it in this context. I'm sure some people might want to transition for this kind of reason but it's not a pathological root cause of being trans at all.
Just because there may be an element of fetish to some people's lives doesn't mean you can extend to all people who you think bear a resemblance to them. That's very offensive to suggest and is easily debunked by a trans person simply stating they're not doing it because of a sexual fetish. You can choose not to believe them but that really just exposes your bias and transphobia.
Are you saying that trans people openly existing as trans people is equivilant to MacIntosh wearing flashers who go about the place exposing themselves?
That netizens who choose to go to Asahi Linux forums shouldn't be exposed to trans developers?
"If you want your childhood-onset gender dysphoric child to desist, and if your child is still well below the age of puberty (which varies, but let’s say, younger than 11 years), you should firmly (but kindly and patiently) insist that your child is a member of his/her birth sex. You should consider finding a therapist if this is difficult for you and your child. You should not allow your child to engage in behaviors such as cross dressing and fantasy play as the other sex. Above all else, you should not let your child socially transition to the other sex."
What a way to say "make your child miserable until they are 17 years old". I suppose this solves the issue by encouraging them to commit suicide.
Children are dumb. I was miserable when I couldn't have ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Better to act with caution and reservedness than make more Chloe Coles.
Gender dysphoria has such a low precedent it's more likely that there is some other mental issue. Also I don't expect that pre pubescent children have autogynophilia.
Better to send your child to therapy than encourage them to mutilate themselves in irreversible ways. The risk of suicide is in mutilated detransitioners, not keeping your child from transitioning.
If you are reading this and you do have gender dysphoria for the love of god do not get your surgery in the USA. Thailand has been doing these surgeries for much longer and are the experts. All I see from US sex change operations are horror stories.
