Doing something about it

Gender dysphoria is our perceived disconnect between birth sex and internal sense of gender identity. Some people don't have it and are able to enjoy expression without its constant discomfort. In fact one sure method I have employed over the years to identify transgender people was by the amount of angst and self-doubt contained in their writing.

That being said we are unique beings and our solutions must necessarily reflect that uniqueness. The only thing that disappoints me today is seeing people who have resigned themselves to doing nothing about pursuing treatment which need not involve hormonal or surgical changes. The point is to assuage the suffering and the pressure of suppression which at its worst can be agonizing hell.

Still, some response is at least something. Whereas doing nothing about it amounts to a self-inflicted wound. For life is a permanent compromise and all-or-nothing is maybe wishful thinking.
