    they have it worse than 'other trans people do'.

    This seems like a pretty gross thing to say.

      Yeah that bit makes me assume they were a reactionary

        I mean, it could be a kid who doesn't have a lot of perspective/is very focused on themselves or something.

        It definitely is a favorite reactionary bait though. I'm going to be very interested to see the responses you get.

        I guess if someone TRULY wanted to be an animal they could make the argument that it’s a worse experience because there is less they can do with presentation and biologically

          I guess, but its not like there's any medical literature to support them "transitioning" to an animal and if it actually helps them or not. I think its just lumped in with depersonalization and body dysmorphia
