If a friend was profoundly depressed, suicidally depressed perhaps, would it be wise to accept their self-diagnosis of what causes their depression and what is the right solution.
If so, all mental health care professionals would be out of a job.
So, yesterday this turned up in my feed, which struck me as something of an, um, mispresentation… and somehow, I ended up writing my own version of how this whole thing went down…

Transsexual women: We just want some basic human rights.
Women: Okay.
Transsexual women: We have this condition called gender dysphoria and it’s really painful and we need to transition to live as the other sex because it’s the treatment for the dysphoria.
