Also, just like homosexuality

the mental disorder has existed for a long while

it is just that they werne't anything of note to society

because they either repressed it till death

or killed themselves

or were killed

We forced it to never be an issue.

Not that it wasn't.

idk don't post-ops have a higher suicide rate?

Not that I know of.

It is attempted suicide by the way.

attempted suicide is a shitty statistic

Not nesseracarily suicide in of itself; they may have attempted before even transitioning.

So is attempted suicide.

*suicide

Because how many have killed themselves without transitioning at all?

Or attempted?

as in before they came out as transexual

YEs.

good point

*Yes

As well, I don't really believe that SRS is generally the requirement for most transsexuals.

They are searching to find comfront in their bodies, they are likely sexually inactive and don't wave their genitalia around.

It is for older transsexuals, really, who need a strong bed to lay their new idenity upon.

I really don't see how that surgery would solve anything

Hormones do way more.

HRT is prob the most important of the transition

plus new clothes, new name and prnouns.

see, and that could explain higher suicide rates as well

fucking with your endocrine system like that is not good

Neither is having a big burly masculine body that hurts you deep down.

There are some non-transitioning trannies who basically just cross dress

they have low T

or another biological condition

and they can just pass as a female by dressing

and are comfrontable as that

But a lot are in bodies which will go on to be TOO masuline for them to handle.

Sure, it can cause mental and physical issues.

But so does feeling alien to your own body.

Let alone alienation.

yeah, but that's psychological. mtf hormone drugs affect important biological processes
