I am a retired physician and had a conversation with a young medical student, who told me that Trans People needed doctors to help them transition into the type of body they would feel most comfortable to inhabit. So her view of them was as though they were a real class of such people who would be improved by transitioning them into a body less feminine or masculine in appearance.
Having met a few of these patients, I found that they were mentally unwell and that they preferred to believe that they had a "physical" ailment rather than a mental one. My medical student had never met a young teenage girl who weighed less than 90 lbs., who believed she was "fat". My idol as a young man was the famous Karen Carpenter, who died of anorexia nervosa. Can you imagine if the AMA recommended to these girls that they should all be affirmed in their belief that they were fat?
Our medical bureaucracies were corrupted by an ideology that permitted the atrocities committed by physicians excited about the prospect of "treating" these newfound patients with medications and/or surgery once they felt that they had a green light given to them by the APA and the AAP. It deeply frightened me that an obviously bright young medical student could believe this nonsense that thousands of patients would suddenly come to the conclusion that they were in the wrong type of body. It was apparent to me, that it was no longer cool to be a Gay or Lesbian person; you had to be Trans. That is much better, because it means that your sexual attraction for your own biological sex can be blamed not upon your mind, but on your incorrect body type instead. In this way, you remain heterosexual and quasi-normal, and are just a victim of some kind of error in your embryonic development. This could almost be believable, except the ideologues took it too far and started to say that one's sexual identity was controlled by one's mind and had nothing to do with a person's body.
The Trans activist movement was doomed by the post-modernist ideology and the increasing number of such people taking advantage of access to private female spaces, access to their sports teams, and the growing number of young women with regrets about damage done to their bodies as they ceased having the delusion that they were men and wanted to again become realigned with a self image and identity congruent with every nucleated cell in their body.
