Hey, if it indeed reduces suicide, fine—even more reason for my indifference in them going for such procedures.
Among the 104 youths (13-20 years) who participated, 63 were transmasculine individuals (60.6%), 27 transfeminine individuals (26%), 10 nonbinary or gender fluid individuals (9.6%), and 4 individuals who didn’t know or did not respond to the gender identity question (3.8%).
Why does anyone give a shit what Sylvia Plath, a woman who died before being trans was even legal, thinks about what it means to be a girl?
Also, she committed suicide herself, so I have no idea why you think she’s a good person to bring up.
Also, I think it’s hilarious you’re bringing up genetics in one comment as a definition of a woman and then bringing up a fucking poet as the definer in this one.
She lived in a different time: I’m sure if many of Gen Z lived in her time, a few of them might consider suicide; and my point is the gender dysphoria among girls might be due to sexism that’s still in society: hence the cure might not be becoming a boy, but rather reduce the sexism.

Oh look, an ignorant person who thinks trans 12-year-olds regularly get surgery rather than puberty blockers and maybe hormones.
But your not caring about children committing suicide is noted.

60.6% transgirls?

And the scientific basis of your hypothesis is what Sylvia Plath once said?
She said being a girl, or female, can be restraining, particularly over 50 years ago.
You claimed to know how to “cure” transgender people (it’s not an illness, you’re being a bigot). What is the science you are using?
I’ve made no claims of a cure for gender dysphoria, I only question if all of those who are deemed to have it actually have it.
Why do people have bulimia? Is the basis of it psychological or sociological?
IIUC, Lebanese women take a disproportionate amount of drugs to relieve stress. Is this some quirk among these women?
No.
I’m presuming that we have sexism in our society and it’s affecting girls at least somewhat, but hey, what do I know?
Yes, sexism like yours does affect trans girls. It’s good of you to recognize it.
and what of what seems to be your cure for anti-girl sexism is to facilitate them into becoming boys?
Gender is performative. Race is not.
Which is why we celebrate Jenner and we scorn Dolezal.
