I agree, cross-sex hormones are terrible for people, but some people are so gender dysphoric that they prefer to risk the side effects. This is the point of view of, for instance, Aaron Kimberly, the founder and exec. director of the Gender Dysphoria Alliance, and Buck Angel, one of the first FTM transitioners. Then there are lesbians like Zander Keig, who simply got sick and tired of the constant harassment and homophobia because of her appearance. None of these women believe that they have literally changed their sex and they have no problem saying so. They call themselves trans men, but they know they are biological females.
You hit the nail on the head: once people are adults they can do what they want with their bodies. I said I was anti-trans in another post, but that’s not entirely true. I’m anti-trans ideology, which is based on pseudoscience, bullshit, misogyny and homophobia. I’m anti-transitioning of children or even discussing it in the K-12 environment. And of course I’m anti the incursion of males into women’s spaces of any kind.
