    What do trans people think about the possibility of a child or preteen “getting it wrong”? Ie, maturing into an adult that realizes/decides that they actually want to live out their life as initially assigned at birth?

    i’m not trans, but i think there is always the possibility of being wrong, and the only real thing we have to back this up going forward is long term heuristics.

    Notably if you’ve been cross dressing for a couple of years, chance are, it’s gonna be pretty fucking low that you would regret it. By that point at least.

    Maybe one day we will develop some kind of technology that gives us a better way of classifying this, in a more reliable manner, because theoretically there should be some form of expected brain adaptation from the average person, or related physical issue in the case of physically intersex people.

    Ultimately, having a more positive opinion on less binary genders in general is going to be like 80% of what solves this problem. The second that non binary and genderfluid is more universally accepted, the trans existence is probably going to shift more towards the center. Simply due to social acceptance. Though i’m sure a lot of people will still ultimately be trans, i’m just curious to see how this plays out.

    That’s my two cents on it at least.
