Exactly. People who are actually, classically, gender dysphoric don't need youtube videos telling them how to be trans; they just are.

What we, as a society, need to be looking at is why so many young women are so horrified at the thought of *being* women that many of them are opting for hormones and surgery.

Some of it is that being trans now has a lot of social cache. But I'm sure that a lot of it is also that we spend a lot of time telling women how horrible their lives are. Don't go to the gym, you'll get creeped. If a man is walking on the same street as you at night, you're gonna get raped. You're going to make less money than a man, no matter what.

It 100% is.

When I was younger, anorexia was 'the craze,' in the psychology use of the term.

Imagine if the response had been 'size affirming care' and 'you, the 5'2 girl who weighs 80 pounds thinks your fat? Well, then, you are fat; lets prescribe Ozempic without your parent's knowledge, here's some tips and tricks on how to purge, and we'll get you scheduled for a gastric bypass, sweetie. And if anybody tells you that you don't need these things, we'll tell them that you'll kill yourself, they're making you unsafe, and they're monsters.'

But here are, promoting puberty blockers and double mastectomies, I'm sorry, 'top surgery.' And claiming that anybody who objects in any way is transphobic and bigoted.

And that has nothing to do with POTS in and of itself, and everything to do with spending the time and effort to eliminate as many possible causes of downtime as possible.

But you also ran into issues like 'unable to make a long distance call because all of physical pairs of copper between cities is already in use.'
