There's no reason to dissect other people's gender like that. If someone says their gender is X, then their gender is X. Generally speaking, just about every trans person is self-diagnosed and that's why they see a psych or a therapist in the first place. No one needs a psych to tell them what their gender is. If you trust cis people to accurately report their gender, there is no reason to question whether a trans person is accurately reporting their gender.

You can't judge the validity or truth of someone's gender or transness on the basis of other conditions they may have, hobbies they may have, or fetishes they may have. There is absolutely no correlation there, none.

So the line is: Just use the pronouns and gender they tell you is correct. That's the line. It may not be accurate and they may change their minds later, but so what? That's really not your concern. Most of the time? It is accurate.

The reason for gatekeeping is not because there is a high risk of cis people transitioning - the system is set up in such a way that it is fairly simple for cis people to slip through the cracks and get hormones and surgery, and even so: Very few do. The alleged reason is to protect cis people from accidentally transitioning, but the truth is that trans people end up needing to lie to access care, and that many find it difficult to navigate these obstacles and wasting precious time getting to the point where they can get the care they need. And some cannot even get the care they need at all.

A better model would be "informed consent." Perhaps if this were simpler, fewer trans people would go on gray market hormones or purchase from overseas pharmacies.

I'm not going to bite your head off, but I found your comment fairly uninformed in just about every particular.

Anyway, very few (if any) trans people need to be told that they're trans. The actual diagnosis is "gender identity disorder" and the vast majority of
