Argument

Type "the case for transmedicalism" into ChatGPT and you will get a brief synopsis of the argument for gender dysphoria as innate birth condition.

The problem is that, even if technically true, it has sometimes been used as a bludgeon against others. 

My view has always been that gender dysphoria is graded and as it ramps up, choice tends to be removed from a person if they want to lead a peaceful existence. They feel that something must be done to reduce or outright eliminate the dysphoria.

However, gender variance casts a wide net and our best strategy would be to let other people be. In other words, those who don't feel dysphoria but simply want to regale in the best aspects of euphoria should be allowed to without prejudice. 

The problem of course is that gender contains a heavy dose of politics both within and outside the sphere of gender variance. Within the sphere, older people who have struggled and ultimately transitioned in the past haven't always been amused by being associated or compared to those content to adopt a more playful approach to gender.

Ultimately it isn't our business what someone else does provided our own house is in order and thankfully today's youth feel less compelled to carry the grudges of their elders. I believe this is in large part for having been spared the much heavier stigma of older people.

Good on them because it shows how far we've come.
