“Hey listen, I’ve been listening to these gender critical feminists and I think they might have a point. Check this out, what if we used psychiatry and hormone therapy to enforce traditional gender roles and normatively gendered bodies, but without creating trans people?”
The poster deftly doesn't address the real moral question: what if conversion therapy (either for homosexuality or trans identification) worked ? Would it be ethical to allow it?
This is the difference between politics/ethics and science. As the old saying goes, just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
Gender-affirming care? Why of course! I am all for forcefully affirming your assigned gender!
