@listelian Particularly, one quote was a doctor who said he can't get teens to finish a course of antibiotics, so if they just wanted to try on a trendy identity, they wouldn't want to take a shot every week for it. While I'm no teen, I have had phases where I'm infatuated or fixated on something (Aspergers' special interests), but unlike ham radio, I kept working on transition after a month, and can't imagine dropping it.

I guess the thing is that the trans condition is always putting your gender on trial. And TERFs and concern-trolly thinkpieces make it easy to think I'm swept up in a cultural frenzy despite my real feelings.
