I'm not sure who "my people" are. If someone really feels that genital reassignment is the appropriate response for their problem, then far be it for me to tell them otherwise. There should obviously be safeguards in place to make sure that people aren't making a horrendous mistake, as seems often to have been the case, but no one is questioning the legality of the underlying procedure. But the notion that we need to radically overhaul the entirety of the English language, discriminate against women, and tolerate other evils because a handful of individuals demand that everyone else in the world recalculate to their "reality" is both absurd and offensive.

Surgeries are but one, optional part of transition-related healthcare and mental health services. The help that you believe they need, in terms of what is the most efficacious, is much more holistic than that.

yes good men have an issue with other men beating up on women and plaguing women's sports that are supposed to be for women
And you're well within your rights to think that.
