Being happy with yourself starts with accepting the things you can’t change
There’s not a single argument against this principle
Therapy with @Merguez be like
That’s terrible. I wish less people felt the need to take their lives as all of us are equally precious, no matter our orientation.
However
1) Suicide rates are still in the same ballpark for physically transitioned people
2) Transitioning can therefore not be the magic bullet its supporters propose it to be
3) Gender dysphoria is a seriously debilitating condition and I feel a way better approach to helping people is making them feel confident in the skin and bones they were gifted with. Confident to express their gender and sexuality in whichever way they see fit.
If it works for people, that’s fine. More power to them. That way of thinking however is toxic. Not accepting you for who you are is poisonous.
Take it from someone who desperately wanted to be white as a teenager, and had certain things not happened, lord knows where i’d be at.
Last sentence just shows you are projecting and have just been using this thread to try to validate your own insecurities, stop speaking on s*** you don't know s*** about dumbass
he couldn't be the snow roach he desperately wanted to be as a kid so he coming after trans people with blatant misinfo, sad!

so you know that "happiness comes with accepting the things you cannot change" is probably the worst thing you can ever tell someone that's battling that, right?

No.
So, I’m quoting my therapist here. I had similar views but I like the way he put it
If you absolutely cannot change something but you have to live with it, you have to change your perspective. These might be things like having to live with an unsatisfying job until
you can make a move.
If it’s something where changing your perspective doesn’t align with reason and principles, you just accept it for what it is.
And if it’s something you can greatly affect by taking some type of action, you do that.
So, a lot of problems fall into one of these or multiple categories.
I feel like in this case taking irreversible action by way of a “silver bullet” is the most heavily promoted step which I feel is a destructive mindset.
All of us would love to just take something or undergo a procedure to take care of our luggage. I like things that organically help people’s minds align and I feel like that could happen for people battling gender dysphoria if there was more of a push for it.
I do not shame trans people for their decision to undergo hrt or surgery moreso I am confused that others are promoting this as the most prominent and effective way of helping them.
It appears the public went from witchhunting trans people to trying to change their identity to then just sayin aite here’s a pill and a knife, go ahead.

eh, terrible a***ogy comparing something internally debilitating to an unsatisfying job but I'll play ball.
"And if it’s something you can greatly affect by taking some type of action, you do that."
exactly.
So your hypothetical son is taking some type of action for something he wants to change. He wants to get hormone therapy. (Which for the umpteenth time, are reversible. So it'll be ok if your son falls into the great overwhelming group that's a whopping 1.9% of transgender youth that end up having second thoughts
they'll thank you regardless for giving them the space to explore.)
But you saying you wouldn't give a penny is actively turning your household into that unsatisfying job you mentioned earlier. And a lot of times niggas can just quit.
Your logic is literally word for word why so many trans kids run away from home.
Is it okay if I put their link in my thread rn to get it some more attention?
Yes of course

The pegging thread?
Ded. I tried to donate so many times that I think I broke the whole campaign
@ me when it gets put back up and I will donate @op
Was trying to donate $26 so I could be the top donator. If at any point any hoe on here wants to try and beat that donation, I will not allow it.
Got it in:
I am a petty hoe and had to beat that top donation. If any hoes on here want to try and beat my donation, you are welcome to try. I will beat you all.
Even if you disagree with it, let someone take the steps that make them happy. You have no obligation to donate or voice your opinion. Just worry about you and yours
God loves everyone under the sun.
If God loves everyone under the sun why will most people go to hell? Aka eternal damnation?
