For example, if I feel I am a woman trapped in a man's body, I didn't choose to feel that way, the choice is whether to get an operation to make me that gender physically. Whether or not it's mental illness is another matter, I think nature sometimes just throws curve balls.

the last trans person i sat down and spoke to was raped and molested between ages 7 to 11 by their elder brother. is on HRT but hates their own face in the mirror to the point of self-harm because they aren't ostensibly female. wants to be a 'sissy fuckhole'. doesn't see these things as causal. thinks the rape just sort of happened and is unrelated to the gender dysmorphia.
is unfamiliar with cognitive dissonance.
destro, you don't think people just want to belong?
