Can’t tell if you’re joking or not, but are you saying you enjoy our 21st century Western narrative of “trans” as some kind of wrongness that needs to be fixed (whether that wrongness is interpreted to be in bodies which need to change; or in the surrounding culture which needs to play along with a literalist view of “gender”) accompanied by emotional distress, the transition-or-die suicide narrative, ongoing medicalization and poor mental health? And you like that more than, say, the Samoan model where people just occupy their gender nonconforming niche and thrive?
