How so? I can certainly agree with your disdain for misandry, but most of that comes from radical feminists, not transitioning intersexed women. And don’t forget that some of us transitioners are growing into manhood, rather than the other way around.

Not insuring comfority, just refusing to deny reality.

To me this would be akin to treating someone who thinks they’re Captain Hook and are disturbed that they have a hand by cutting off their hand.

glad to see that the gender nazi’s are still out patroling, ensuring gender purity.

That kind of “treatment” only makes the condition worse. If a person is biologically male but believes they are female, their body is not the problem–their belief they are the other gender is.
As with any mental disorder, whatever the biological/environmental causes, humoring them only hurts them; after the so-called “treatment” they will STILL be a man who thinks they are a female. Only now they will be a mutilated man and farther from a cure than ever. A true treatment/cure requires coming to accept their gender (which is genetic and immutable.)

And it would help loads if we’d free our society of it’s anti-male sexism that hates masculinity and worships femininity. It’s a huge contributing factor.

Hormone treatment and sex-reassignment surgery treat the symptoms and suffering associated with gender dysmorphic disorder. Where’s the problem?
