I’d argue that it’s totally the wrong question to ask, because what it’s saying is, “Would you become the opposite sex if there was no effort, sacrifice or possibility of failure?”Also, who the hell came up with that stupid-ass button question? “If you could press a button and change genders instantly, would you?” There’s no button bro, why is that considered some unofficial diagnostic test?
I think there are a lot of things that people would be under those circumstances. If you said to someone, “Would you become a professional athlete if you could just press a button to do it?” I imagine a lot of people would say yes to that as well. But if they aren’t prepared to put the time and effort in, they aren’t athlete material.
The real question should be, “You cannot biologically become a woman. At best, you will achieve the appearance of a woman, but there is no guarantee of this. Most of the photos of passing trans women are carefully posed and doctored. Here are the medical pitfalls. Here are the social pitfalls. Here are the financial pitfalls. The process will take years and is not reversible. With all that in mind, would you still transition?”
But of course, all that information is already out there. Troons choose to believe it’s easy and they reassure each other that it is.
