i’ve noticed on the internet transmedicalists are very often young trans people, typically around or younger than 18 which is kind of sad to see

young trans people have all kinds of weird, complicated, worrying shit going on, that’s pretty par for the course

ime transmed beliefs are usually rooted in dysphoria and a lot of teens a) don't have access to gac and b) are actively going through puberty, so you get a lot of them trying to cope with their transness through invalidating others because they don't have the proper tools to deal with it in healthy ways. it is sad, yeah, but it's lowkey comforting too because i know a lot of them will grow out of it lol

Honestly it makes sense. Look at people like Kalvin Garrah. Someone going thru dysphoria whose only way to cope was to put down others who “aren’t trans” because they weren’t experiencing what he is. It makes sense to me, but that doesn’t mean what he did was right
