Its a matter of opinion though I think rather than true and false, or right and wrong. If they feel like they need tits and a vagina, or a dick to be them, fair enough, I will support that. I see this as a BDD issue though rather than being in the wrong body (given that I do not believe in 'gender', only sex) and that they see it as the wrong body solely because of how sociey has...indoctrinated them in a way . Which in itself deserves sympathy and support...but surgery could well be the wrong road to push them down, and this is proven time and time again by those who transition, then regret it and either go back, or live miserably forever.
A better understanding...all round is surely whats needed here. And this can only happen if people are allowed to discuss things.
