I get the need to replace the entire image to avoid any kinds of identification watermarks, but the wobbly MS Paint hand traces are so much better.

This version's construction should also be more stable and gift-able without exploding!

tl;dr Dysphoria isn't a choice and IS a medical condition so both treating it in those that have it and mitigating people optionally getting it are important. In a better world therapists would be way more accessible and transition would be easier and lower stakes.

-even that has situational risks.
All in all dysphoria sucks, it's not a choice, and a LOT of people with it don't recognize what they're feeling, so if you CAN get a therapist, I highly recommend it. Bonus points if they're also an endocrinologist.

-identify and articulate that dysphoria, and make sure it's not another issue that could make the situation worse (ie weeding out dysmorphia).
More open social transitioning (ie living as your gender with everyone instead of just close friends) is a good test if therapy isn't accessible, but-

My wokest opinion is most "nondysphoric" trans people actually do experience dysphoria that they're not interpreting as dysphoria, so the bar for transition to be helpful is not high. But due to that ambiguity I do highly recommend finding a good gender therapist if accessible to help-

They could get tax credits for auditable charitable work and community support, which would require them to help the destitute instead of just saying they do by honor of existing.

My only argument is with transgender not being a choice because dysphoria is absolutely a thing, and trying to transition without that can *cause* it, so I recommend diagnostic therapy and trying low-permanency transitional steps first if it's accessible.
No harm in trying those steps, though.

If you're in the "just buy a new one!" bracket you could also just be offering to get it for them. Like if you could just afford to buy it on a whim, you will not miss the money and they'll end up ahead of where they were. It's a net positive.

A bunch of my team's projects won a bunch of awards, and we have some very high profile projects going to market next year. Just have to keep the momentum going!

As a note it was remarkably hard to find hard cider in Japan, but what we did find was very very good. The one sweet cider was much more cloyingly sweet than even like Angry Orchard, but the dries we found were FANTASTIC.
