my personal hypothesis is vulnerability due to social rejection or isolation as a result of neurodivergence even if not out combined with faggy/gnc behaviors and a lower self esteem and existing body image issues and other childhood mental health conditions make for us a being a more visible/easy target for predators, bullies, etc. and many parents can’t tolerate having children that don’t fit in their idealized image of a child they can mold into a possession.
my real hypothesis is that god hates trannies and wants us to suffer
or what if trans is caused by trauma…
also there needs to be a traumadumping community here </3 it’d be a trainwreck though
being trans is not caused by trauma, being traumatized is caused by being transgender. the fact that many people conflate the correlation (trans people are often traumatized) with causation (being traumatized causes gender dysphoria) is because cis people don’t understand the level of existential distress that being transgender causes.
this is true that part of my post was tongue in cheek. i know people with gender dysphoria who have fallen into this trap even bc it gives them a convenient excuse to dismiss the dysphoria as “trauma induced”
