i have multiple transgender friends and they are all extremely depressed
gender dysphoria is a cruel disease so yes assuming you could stop gender dysphoria pre-birth i absolutely would
Every study out there regarding childhood transitioners shows they're as happy or more so than their peers. And much more than those who couldn't until they're adults aka post puberty.
The biggest hurdle is actually having our genders recognized, respected and having legal rights that are protected without needing to have lawyers or the ACLU involved for years at a time. For instance there's a doomsday bill that will revoke all trans rights save a few in the cities/ states that passed their own. But without the federal ones, it would make most of them much harder to enforce in any notable capacity.
And how about actually having to take all those medications and hormones and shit? Wouldn't you rather just, you know, physically be the sex you want to be? It's like saying your child should grow up with diabetes because using insulin and having to meticulously watch your meals isn't that much effort anyway rather than have them not have it at the beginning. But then again, you're one of those true snowflake types who thinks being disabled is a part of your identity and proud of it so you can show off how different you are. Honestly, I'm betting a small part of you would actually be more willing to MAKE your child transgender if something like that existed.
"I don't care if my child is a boy or girl, I'll love them regardless. Unless they're gay, bi or trans."
The official cis motto of always.
Gay and bi people don't desire and have no need to be straight. Trans people literally by definition WANT to be the other sex and their goal is to be as much of the opposite sex as possible. They don't want to be the brain trapped in the wrong body. If there's a one time magical ray that turns you into the opposite sex permanently they would take it in a heartbeat. And that's exactly what this hypothetical scenario is, saving your child from having to deal with hormones and the inner conflict of knowing their chromosomes and organs are of the opposite sex. There's nothing for gay and bi people to have to deal with other than society. ...Unless you're saying being trans itself is the thing you desire, not the opposite sex and that if a magical ray that could turn you into the other sex permanently exists you wouldn't take it since the idea that you're in the wrong body is what makes you special? ---
