Like there’s a lot of things that just don’t really make sense presuming that is true.
For one some trans people obviously aren’t born trans, I mean personally I was literally a cis guy until after most of puberty was done, like I just wasn’t trans back then I was pretty normal other than my autism and I know other people like that personally as well. Plus like, idk I think the idea that someone who realises at 35 is repping the whole time in 100% of cases is a bit ridiculous, maybe sometimes but like it happens enough that that cannot be every case
I also think the idea that all detransitioners are either reppers or were never really trans is quite silly. I mean some of them are like that undoubtedly, but like others were entirely normal trans people and then just weren’t one day. I know one guy who used to literally just be a bdd passoid but is a gay guy now who gets dysphoria over his female traits. Idk how you can explain that if gender is entirely unchangeable and innate because he was clearly trans and isn’t repping. I mean I’m not a detranner but even personally I used to literally just be a normal binary troon like any other but aren’t anymore.
Idk, this isn’t to say that conversion therapy works (i don’t think it’s something that actively changes and is probably to complex to ever actively change) however I think the prevailing view that it’s an entirely innate, unchanging concept is kinda silly. Obviously it probably is in some people, but I don’t think that’s true for everyone because I ultimately think there’s probably multiple causes of gender dysphoria and it’s more complex than people usually let on
it really is all quite silly to me. our brains are plastic. so much is shaped by our experiences, and an untold number of other factors. yes, there are people who seem to have always known. i wont deny them that. but like you said, im sure as hell not one of those people. i dont remember most of my childhood, but what i do remember i just didnt care about gender or sex in the slightest. i was a boy cause thats what people told me and it was fine.
i had discomfort over my body as a teenager, but a good chunk of that was because i was fat and felt ugly. in the past i sort of felt pressured to frame all my body image issues i had growing up on being a troon and just not knowing but these days i dont really see it that way.
and then, it doesnt really matter to me anyway. regardless as to why i feel this way, i know i do. so whether i have a tranny gene, im innately a woman, or whatever else, it literally doesnt matter. transitioning is still the only real option i have with how i currently am
