You consider them people?

Code MENT is another entertaining abridged Code Geass

Perhaps I now find myself as the one saying "stop being sad" without having been depressed. Either way, God be with all with such struggles.

I'm pretty sure that definition changed over time, as sex and gender were interchangeable at the time I learned them, but noted

Hey you leave terraria out of this

I do respect their suffering, and I in no way wish for them to be under additional distress, but as you somewhat mentioned in your other comment, I don't wish for 'nobody to tell them the obvious because it's uncomfortable to do so'. If they feel that they're not the gender that they are, it is somewhat uncomfortable to try to dissuade them from that belief, but is better if they accept themselves for who they actually are and work on bringing that into line with who they want to be in a functional way.

For example, I would very much like to be a wizard (however childish that may be), but have come to the unfortunate realization that I cannot cast spells, have no mana, and am simply not a wizard. If everyone around me affirms that yes friend you are a wizard, go cast some spells and do wizard things, it in no way helps me to be a wizard. The support is somewhat nice, as being encouraged is nice, but isn't really beneficial from a long-term standpoint. At some point the realization sets in that I am in fact, not casting any spells. Those of a different gender should at some point recognize "Hey I've got the wrong equipment down there" and prosthetics and surgery don't actually change that, none of it's biologically functional. I can have a really fancy lookin' staff but it's not casting magic missile. But if you accept what you can do, what you are, and work on finding what your actual goal is, you can find a path to that goal. If your goal is simply "I want to be the other gender", I can't really help with that. But if you want to do the things the other gender does, go for it I guess.

In short, I do not encourage suffering, disdain, or hatred. I encourage honesty. Christ died for them as much as he did for me, and loves them as much as he does me, and calls me to do the same. But love is not unconditional affirmation, it is truth.

For clarification I don't advocate for running around calling people names and harassing them for being mentally ill, I'd much rather they get the support they need to help them get better.
