WOW, please don't say shit like this to people. You have no idea what my life has been like and you have no place projecting your single anecdote onto others.

WOW, please don't say shit like this to people. You have no idea what my life has been like and you have no place projecting your single anecdote onto others. I "reconsidered" once already and it was the biggest mistake of my life and wasted the past 10 years where I could have been making progress towards my goals. If you convince even one person to give up on their identity because of this pettiness then you should know what an awful thing you've done. I'm glad you put "supportive" in quotation marks, because based on how many times you've referred to your friend with male gendered pronouns (and other evidence) I doubt very much that you were actually supportive. Sounds like a good thing that your friend has "gone away", which I hope just means that she got far away from you. Also it's disgusting and ignorant for you to imply that childhood trauma causes people to become trans. I was also abused as a kid and I've heard this argument too many times from people who don't know what they're talking about. Queer kids are targeted because they are queer. Because of the shame society puts on being different, they are far less likely to report something. Your causality is backwards.
