By now about 30% of males from the hacker space I used to frequent for years are now trans "women" or "questioning their gender". Similar metric for prominent people from the german scene as well.
I'm not very conservative and I believe almost everyone should be free to live however they want but if this isn't some mass delusion run by western governments, NGOs, think tanks, religious organisations and multinationals, I don't know how else this could've escalated to this level.
I'm not interested in hating against any of them. I'm just worried about their minds and bodies should they ever abandon that path. From what I've read from detransitioners, at least some of the effects of HRT are irreversible and the same applies to any surgical modifications. Imagine doing this in your earlier 20s and then feeling the urge to start a family in your 30s.
At least vasectomies are often reversible and in case of taking the pill you can always stop and hope you didn't fuck up your hormones too much.
You can't even reach out to any of them because they're all trained to vilify any criticism as being fueled by right wing oriented hate towards "progress".
I hope they'll be alright in the end. But I worry they won't.
