I am indeed "Western" as you put it, and generally adhere to the description you gave of me. I do recognize my statement is political, although I did not use the word "objectively" lightly and feel like I can justify my position quite solidly. So, while the other side may claim their ideas as "objectively right" too, I am yet to see any reasoning that would give credance to such claims. Here is a succint overview of the reasoning I used to arrive at my current position on trans-identity: Facts (that you should be able to verify easily through e.g. a quick Google Scholar session): 1. Gender dysphoria is real and touches a significant part of the population. It makes those affected by it suffer mentally. 2. Transition is the only known way to cure gender dysphoria, and it does indeed work. 3. People very rarely regret transitioning (<1% of them, less than the rate of people regretting having their children, and most of these "detransitions" come from religious or social pressures). 4. Trans people are no more susceptible to committing crime (sexual or else) than the average person, if not slightly less so (they are, on the other hand, ~4 times as likely to be victims of violent crimes, because of the prejudice and rhetoric targeted at them). Axioms (that I hope we both agree on): 1. Helping people feel better, or at least not hindering them while they try to, is good. 2. Ostracizing people because of something they can't change is bad. Conlusions (that you have to agree with if you accept my axioms and my reasoning): 1. Facts 1, 2 and 3 + Axiom 1 => We should let trans people transition, and whenever possible, even help them to. 2. Fact 4 + Axiom 2 + Conclusion 1 => We should let trans people participate in society as no one gets hurt in doing so, and trans people have to transition for their own good, so it would be unfair to attack them on that basis.
