that's definitely not true for trans people. Most people that are trans have an identity crisis and would be suicidal no matter what they identified as. If you got traumatized as a kid or called a girl for liking art and literature and music, or got called a boy bc you aren't pretty or are a tomboy, that will hurt no matter what you do. Getting trans operations just masks the problem but it doesn't solve it. Matter of fact, it changes your bodily function for life and forces you to pay medications for a long time, possibly even life. All you're accomplishing is making life suck even worse than it already does. Maybe it might make you feel free bc you don't have to live up to the expectations that ppl set on you bc they assigned characteristics to your gender, but it doesn't last forever. And the concept that it makes ppl happier is a bit flawed, bc if it really did, and you felt secure in yourself, you wouldn't be so bothered if someone didn't recognize you as the gender you want to be. If you were really secure, you wouldn't need constant affirmation to the point where you need to bully others into submission so you never have to hear anything that shatters your idea of yourself. Trans or not, that character pattern is dangerous and encourages narcissism, and it all stems from extreme trauma and insecurity.
And the thing is, if you express any of these concerns out of worry for someone considering a trans operation, you get called transphobic and hateful, even if you're not even fighting to stop the operation. Just trying to convince someone to consider options before jumping into something so life changing is hatred. You would never say this if someone was about to blindly buy a $25K car without investigating if the car had problems. Imagine if you, a friend or parent of the potential buyer, expressed concern, and the seller accused you of hating the buyer bc you didn't just encourage them to follow their impulses. Any other situation, that kind of characteristic would be a red flag that you're getting scammed. It's the same here, but you're not allowed to express that concern. And that's sad, bc I care for ppl. I don't want someone to get forced to pay for meds for life for something they regret. That would suck.
