People unfamiliar with narcissistic abusive families really do not know, cannot conceptualize, how bad the trauma is for those who have lived inside them.
"But of those hapless who were snared by Melkor little is known of a certainty. [...] Yet this is held true by the wise of Eressëa: that all those of the Quendi that came into the hands of Melkor, ere Utumno was broken, were put there in prison, and by slow arts of cruelty and wickedness were corrupted and enslaved. Thus did Melkor breed the hideous race of the Orkor in envy and mockery of the Eldar, of whom they were afterwards the bitterest foes. For the Orkor had life and multiplied after the manner of the Children of Ilúvatar; and naught that had life of its own, nor the semblance thereof, could ever Melkor make since his rebellion in the Ainulindalë before the Beginning: so say the wise. And deep in their dark hearts the Orkor loathed the Master whom they served in fear, the maker only of their misery. This maybe was the vilest deed of Melkor and the most hateful to Eru"
However, recognize that grief may result. It's a loss of the fantasy of people who love you. That hurts.

Thank you. Californian over here. I am disgusted with what our government and the magtards that voted them in are doing. Do what you need to do to defend yourselves but please keep in mind Americans are not all awful.

Its not just money and power he wants. Read May Trump's book and you'll learn his father was a psychopath who verbally berated his older brother Fred (Mary's father) so much so that Fred found comfort in alcohol and died young. Young Donald learned to identify with the aggressor in order to win his father's regard. To my mind, Putin reminds Trump of his father and he wants to please his father.
He's plenty smart in terms of verbal fluency and debate. However he lacks introspective capacity or moral center or empathy, without which he is simply an ambitiously sharp tool being wielded by others (like Thiel)

She's been fine, but it is past time for change
Maybe not western european in particular but you sound 100% Bombadilian to me. I'll bet your boots are yellow.
Apparently blind and unaware of the deficit.
How can I explain color to a blind man? You're either attuned to the suffering around you or you're contributing to it. Apparently you can't see that. You must be blind.
What contact in your personal or professional life have you had with trans folk? Are you speaking with experience of appreciating their pain or are you just speaking based on what you've heard?
"This is fine"
If you can accept the reality of gender dysphoria, then it is reasonable to address how that condition is best treated. The consequences of not treating can be lethal via suicide so this is not an idle question. If transitioning makes the difference between life or death (or chronic substantial depression) then arguably encouraging this affected people to "be trans" is the right thing to do. Sorry if it hurts your feeling but that's the reality of it.
Just about any medical procedure will sometimes produce regrets in some portion of the population of people who undergo it, for instance vaccinations, amniocentesis, etc. It's not reasonable to suggest that because this is true that no one should have access to the treatments.
