I was never wronged or jilted by the trans movement, I merely learned from an early age not to suffer fools.
The fact is that the ones who follow these advocates off a cliff do so completely willingly and in full blindful idiocy.
If instead of cutting off their private parts they were speeding in cars for social media likes or doing daredevil stunts far above & beyond their amateur competency, most people would be happy to see them end up in the emergency room, irregardless of their age. The fact that so many go and do the same antic by transitioning to get nothing more from it than being liked and honored for being brave, is on that same level of stupid.
So a better question for you might be, Have you always been this kind of white knight who goes about in search of something to fix? Cause white knights never try to help a true victim, that being people who find themselves devastated by events out of their control. White knights like to help people who refuse to help themselves, like being sad when they see fat people who eat McDonald's and count the burger's lettuce as their daily vegetable on the nutrition table. An idiot who self harms isn't a victim, they're just another idiot. That's why the detransitioners need to solving this problem for themselves, by taking revenge on the people who pushed them into it if they were conned as kids because of their immaturity. But they need to do it on their own for there to be real change. The enablers need to realize they have actual reason to fear their Frankenstein, cause they'll never back down against parents and whiners who do nothing but write essays and lobby their congressmen for change. That does nothing but push the problem over to another State that will just legalize the barbarity even further down the rabbit hole.
So why the white knighting by you then, are you hurting so bad inside that you get the need for it just in order to wake up feeling better about yourself? Why spend your effort helping stupid people rather than those who never chose to become a real victim?
First, these people, especially the trans children, have significant mental illnesses. The incidence of issues such as autism, etc., is very high. Suicidal ideation is over 80%, attempts are something like 42%. So these people don't see the world with the same 'clarity' as perhaps you and I do. They're seeking something, and in their distress, believe they've found it.
The fact that there is no lessening of mental issues, suicidal ideation and attempts, speaks to the fact that transitioning was/is not the answer. That desistance occurs in almost 90% of those who don't transition is another clue that transitioning isn't the answer.
As for my "white knighting" - great term for it btw - I care about people and I try to help when I can. I spent three years getting an innocent man I barely knew out of prison in the Philippines, a death row conviction no less. I happened to have the skills and the desire to help, plus personal reasons for getting involved, so I did.
I tend not to try to help people who won't try to help themselves, I don't need that level of frustration in my life. But if someone needs a hand and quite can't make it on their own, it's only being a decent human - imo - to reach out to them.
I agree with your comment and how you phrased it: "The enablers need to realize they have actual reason to fear their Frankenstein". I happen to believe very strongly that we can engender that fear, and from both sides - from their victims and from those of us who are trying to help them. The enablers need to be absolutely terrified by the consequences of the damage they are doing.
As for why I help? I have skills and ability as I said, and I've been most fortunate in my life. I don't need to "feel better about myself", I am actually just fine with me.
I think it's only fair to pass my good fortune on by helping others. My remarks to you were prompted by what sounded like some real pain in your life, or some unresolved conflict. I don't think I was wrong, but I'm fine if you don't want to discuss it with me. That's your choice of course, and I'm fine with whatever you choose.
Good for you, Wally! Whenever possible, avoid fools pretending to be psychologist/sages by dispensing instant diagnoses upon people they have never seen, never heard of, and will almost certainly never meet.

You make some interesting points.
