It’s extremely unhealthy physically. Your lifespan decreases. It doesn’t help mental health. I sent two verified studies showing there is no decrease in suicide ideation. Even with this… adults should be able to transition whenever they want. I don’t care. It’s your life. Your life should not be held on a pedestal above others. That’s an incredibly selfish mentality. Why should your feelings be more important than the actual rights or women?

it actually does, i don’t know where you got your studies. also, just in anecdotes, trans people have been shown to have better mental health after transitioning. it’s not just a feeling. if a woman is 6”1 does she just feel like she’s tall? no she is tall

You are incorrect. The feelings have shown to be short term. My sources are the United States government (nih.gov/National library of medicine) that uses the Swedish peer reviewed long term study and a well respected peer reviewed academic science journal that released a new study about a month ago. I sent both links. The Swedish study shows a higher suicide ideation ten years after transition.

Height is an immutable characteristic. Trans is not. Trans is the opposite of immutable by definition.
