is this accurate depiction of reality?

if it is, i think i'd like to move to Russia where LGBT thing is almost illegal. there is a point when too much democracy and freedom backfires

btw i know that this point of view is very unpopular but come on people, have you ever considered that maybe, just maybe you take all this gender thing too seriously? enough to involve surgery?

most simple explanation of this that i can think of is this example: why iPhone is so popular. because it restricts choices that you can make about configuring phone while android increases choices. someone already worried about those choices and made best decisions. you just accept the result. and result is that less choices in trivial stuff means you can focus your energy on choices about things that are really important

if you BELIEVED that you dont have a choice in picking gender then you would not worry about possibilities of changing it and eventually you would accept reality. and no matter what reality is, person cant stay too unhappy or too happy for too long. they compared and when initial reaction passes even most rich person and most disabled person have the same level of happiness

This type of gender dysphoria isn't really uncommon . I know 4 people that have transitioned , two each way . so the system balances out .
There are people out there that are that their bodies are just not right .
They bind limbs enough to cut off circulation and ice down the area . They cut off their own limbs to make it so they need a wheelchair or prosthetic limb , enough that if they sign a consent form and pay for the actual surgery a doctor will remove the limbs for them . After years of consuling they still go through with it ...amazing ? One woman even went as far as learning Braille and walking with a cane to teach herself to be blind . she said that the day doctors removed her eyes ( perfectly good , seeing eyes ) that she finally felt complete ...humans are a crazy species ..strange that I know all this .
Makes you wonder why I'd even have researched all of it ??

those are funny examples because they seem so unbelievable from our perspective. but they describe the main point so well. there must be name for that.. dont even know what to call it, is it disease? or that kind of behavior is considered NORMAL? to want to get rid of your perfectly good eyes because you dont feel complete with them

i also dont know why i am concerned about this. i guess by sharing i wanted to help people about their confusion because i thought i have figured out roots of the problem. idn though, i may be mistaken
