>With something like trannys, you have have individuals upset about the recognition of their own body for being what it is.
FtM here. This is worded really strangely.
The nature of the disorder is a deep disconnect with your phenotypical sex. It's most likely caused by some sort of malformation of/damage to the brainstem. (Our biggest clue in this direction is that traumatic injury there can cause confusion of gender identity in people who were previously normal. Injury to the brainstem can also cause changes to sexual interests, including orientation, so the limbic system is probably heavily implicated in homosexuality as well.)
It's not just some sort of childish fit at the reality of our bodies, and your description doesn't really capture the body horror of having the condition.
>If they don't get surgery, they get upset if someone is attracted to them for their genitalia as well as when they're not attracted to them for their genitalia.
Can't speak for anyone else, but anyone finding me attractive is flattering. Their reasons for finding me attractive just might not be compatible.
>They also feel popping pills for their entire life and having their genitals mutilated should be seen as perfectly normal.
I would say that we would argue it's the only real available treatment - therapy does not cure us, and no available medication does either. SRS is what we have left.
I don't know that I've ever seen anyone argue for it being "normal." Most of us consider it a serious medical condition, which by default is not at all "normal." We're also an extremely tiny minority, which is also deviant by default (as is homosexuality, incidentally).
Anybody belonging to the crowd suggesting it's NOT a disorder probably also are the "socially constructed" crowd who think normalcy itself is somehow an oppressive affront to their existence.
>Yet few people actually ever see what the outcome of the genital mutilation actually looks like, so there's quite a few people that are ignorant enough to think it looks believable.
The cosmetic results of surgery are not exactly our fault.
>Which has been conflated by the LGBTQP+WHATEVER
I agree this conflation is not working out. I think it originally grew out of lumping together everyone who is despised for behaving in a way that is considered to be outside what is acceptable for their gender.
But it's also not working out for US at all to be grouped with people on the basis of how they fuck when that means the loss of public sympathy for the disorder. And in the amount of time I've been living as a trans person, what little sympathy I saw people give us definitely seems to have eroded.
A medical condition like GID shouldn't be grouped with the "gay agenda." It's not working for cis gays, and it's not working for us, if it ever did.
