ICE should be worried! Because they are all going to charged for brutal assaults, kidnapping, and unconstitutional actions.

An important point. I'm still learning and there are a variety of experiences people have. The concept that biological sex and gender expression are not the same thing is difficult for many to understand, even in freer cultures, and even though history shows this is not new.

That the person finds relief in adopting the gender norms of the opposite sex. This adoption can be social, or a combination of social and/or medical and/or surgical.

I would describe it as a long standing, intractable discomfort both in and with one's own body. Described to me once as like one's body is a puppet, but also wrong and not one's own.

I thought I was engaging with your ideas?
But okay.
Other than transition, there are no known treatments that alleviate the anxiety, depression, and fear experienced by trans people.
Telling them they are unwelcome everywhere and their doctors are selfish offers them nothing.
And sounds hateful.

Because clearly you've never spoken to an actual transgender person or a doctor who works with them.

It's rather like insisting that people with migraines should just take aspirin and soldier on, because *your* headaches aren't that bad.

Star Trek Discovery (not everyone's cup of tea, and 1st season is pretty violent, but it's good)
