It is so frightening to feel so out of control regarding all of this. How the transactivists act is very similar to how addicts in the throw of addiction behave. With all the happy-happy-it-saved-my-life-transactivist propaganda anyone under 25 - not fully mature

mentally or emotionally, can get hooked into the fantasy of being able to escape their misery by transitioning. And with trans being both a coping mechanism for pain/confusion AND an identity - it becomes deeply entrenched in a person's psyche. It is a marriage from hell - Addiction + Identity = ideology that is roach-like in its persistence to thrive in hostile environments and circumstances.
