No going back

If gender dysphoria has biological roots then why is there such a concerted effort in some circles to prevent transgender people from treating it?

The answer is simple: hate and stupidity.

Further confusing the issue are those who play with gender in a way that muddies the water for those for who see sex and gender as sacrosanct. The freeing of constraints on expression has added a wrinkle and invited new eccentric online personalities to become low hanging fruit for gender criticals as well as for other transgender people who don't like their antics.

Of course the mental illness trope is still trotted out occasionally except that many transgender people have very high IQs and otherwise lead very balanced lives. No better example than Lynn Conway.

All this is blood in the water for those looking for material to attack except that, despite their efforts, things won't be going back to how they were no matter how much they might wish it.
