I could be wrong, but I think he's explicitly denied being the person depicted in the images that people post when they call him 'TERF Jesus' (for what that's worth).
I wonder if you've noticed the presence of an extremely annoying /tttt/ regular who seems to be fixated with anonymously posting terrible anti-Blanchardian arguments and calling people Trump supporters and Nazis. You can always tell it's them by their atrocious grammar.
Insofar as Davis is concerned, I would take his own behavior to be an accurate indication of whether or not he supports transition for AGPs, regardless of whether or not he calls his own transition a transition.

I recall SJWizard denying he's TERF Jesus. Suffice to say, I'm not convinced. There's only one person with that *exact* level of familiarity with RV-chan.

Diseaseposter, or someone else? I've been less active on the board lately.
>regardless of whether or not he calls his own transition a transition
Due to being a typical-minding HSTS, I tend to only think of 'transition' as being when someone *socially* transitions. Davis is certainly hormonally transitioning, but he's convinced himself he can avoid the social aspect, and that's what he rails against AGPs doing. Dude's not going to pull that off. Having watched other anti-trans type Blanchardian 'eggs' hatch and immediately turn on their former belief system, I'm concerned about the implications of this.

People should be discouraged from transitioning. Not for spiritual conservative reasons, but because medical technology isn't at the stage where we can say that HRT isn't harmful in the long term, and there's no such thing as changing a penis into a real vagina. You'll spend the rest of your days keeping a wound from closing through extremely painful dilations, a wound that is nothing like a real natural vagina, and often grows pubic hair on the inside due to inverted scrotal tissue.
Transitioning simply doesn't work. You won't be any happy, and you will likely feel worse, which is why suicide rates are just as high for pre-op as post-op. Wait until medical tech gets so good we can grow real natural vaginas using stem cells.

Some people might have damage or lack of development in the areas of the brain that control sexual urges, so they've never felt anything sexual ever, but in a lot of the cases of this a better term would be Hyposexual. There is some awareness of sensuality, but they have a very very very low sex drive due to various disorders.

You shouldn't think of transitioning as an all-or-nothing proposition. Pure social transition is one option, and having HRT without surgery is also very popular, or having top but not bottom surgery, or whatever.

Yeah no I'm not waiting that long. I've already wasted way enough of the years I could have been fuckable if I'd had the gender characteristics that fit my natural psychology.
It is also absurdly obvious that it'll be possible to replace the neovaginas with the lab-grown ones. Do you even think brah?
> Transitioning simply doesn't work. You won't be any happy, and you will likely feel worse,
Empirically false, N = me. Being a trans woman makes me very happy and being a man only ever made me miserable.

The rate of regret for the op is like 2.2%, which I'd bet is lower than the rate of suicide.
> You'll spend the rest of your days keeping a wound from closing through extremely painful dilations, a wound that is nothing like a real natural vagina, and often grows pubic hair on the inside due to inverted scrotal tissue.
Depends on the op you get. Dilation is less of an issue, and hair growth a nonexistent one, if you get a colovaginoplasty. Hair growth is also a non-issue if you get them properly removed before SRS.
You ostensibly know enough to know that you're being dishonest and using arguments as soldiers right there, so : go read the sequences lol

Well, I'm just butting in with that typical-minding comment, so personally my anxiety/depression doesn't have any of that body-dysmorphia adjacent self-loathing, I don't think it's central to the general millennial mood, and (in what's admittedly probably a display of typical-minding in my own case) I expect that you'd have to be something weird, like actually-a-trans-person, to have that tacked on and think it's an integral part of the package.

Are you specifically talking about gender dysphoria? I'd think gender dysphoria has a much narrower focus than common background malaise. I don't really see how transitioning would seem like a solution otherwise.
If you're talking about dysphoria in general, then I'd think it's just a matter of degree, if that. That seems to be how it works for a lot of classification.

Large neural differences do not imply magical innate gender identity. Brains of men and women could be significantly different and nevertheless be able to live about as happily in either body and/or gender, with practical differences but no deep wrongness. You don't have to be a blank slatist for that.
Are they actually able to? No clue, but those studies don't look like a slam dunk to me.
