Or lets say it is a mental illness. What's the best treatment for that? I would propose transitioning would be the optimal treatment and having society be more inclusive.
Other than the small percentage of people born with fetal alcohol syndrome, people aren't born alcoholics either. Society creates the conditions for it and then you have a certain percentage of people who through who through their own choices and genetic disposition are funneled into it. They wish they could stop drinking but are compelled to.
I'm sure it's not a perfect analogy, but the point is that society is creating the conditions for both alcoholism and gender dysphoria. Imagine living in a culture where people are in touch with themselves, with nature, etc-- where there is no internet or puberty blocking hormones. Will gay people still exist? Yes almost certainly because we can be pretty sure that when this experiment was ran they did-- but people weren't clamoring to get their sex organs cut off because it wasn't something people conceived was a possibility.
What the solution now is though? Idk. People should be able to do whatever they want. I certainly am not suggesting otherwise. With kids though it's a bit different because kids don't have the full capacity to understand the consequences of their actions, and my suggestion is that we de-emphasize gender, let boys play with dolls and girls with toy trucks if they want, or not, instead of taking them to the gender clinic. Although ultimately it's too late for that as Pandora's box has already been opened and you can't close it. The best we can hope for is that science catches up.
