The way I look at things it’s a disease, the root of it being that it makes you not at ease with yourself.

We can’t treat this disease by altering the brain, but we can alter the body. So this is the best treatment we have to offer at the moment, and people should be allowed to pursue it.

I only became more adamant about this in the last year since my wife and I took in a trans person in need. It’s personal for me now.
