>and I don't understand why a person experiencing gender identity issues should be physically transformed to eliminate the problem, any more than we should acquiesce to other mental disorders
well, this is part of the modern ideology started on the 60s (and from bad psychoanalysis) where mental issues are the fault of you repressing your desires, or of society not accepting your desires and not being empathetic enough towards you even when you are acting like a retard

i think by this point it's pretty clear that being too unhinged about your desires is not healthy for individuals or for society, but this idea still seems to permeate everything, psychology, "therapy" culture, normie magazine articles, and all that stuff. Specially women seem to believe very strongly on this-

when writing articles about the past they very often also frames the past in the lens of how those people's desires were repressed and the true message is that they should have abandoned all tradition and let their desires guide them

I recently saw the film Ironclad, which is a really bad and unimaginative "defend the fort" film, but it has the same message bolted onto it, that the main character should just drop all his beliefs and everything he believes in just to fuck the girl he likes, that this is the healthy choice and he should just done that from the beginning and if just everybody did that there would be no war
