You’re welcome to believe what you want to, and I didn’t try to convince you that you shouldn’t. Personally, I believe I am the sum of both my positive life experiences and successes, as well as the challenges, pain and trauma, for better or worse. Now, if they came up with a cure tomorrow for my connective tissue disorder, would I take it? You’re damn right I would. But given the choice of “pressing the button” and being born without it, I absolutely would not, because to do so would mean that I will have never existed. It’s the same reason I, as a trans woman, don’t wish I was born a cis girl. These things have inextricably made me who I am, I wouldn’t just be a “different” person without them, but entirely unrecognisable.
I deeply disagree with you as a transman myself. My core never changed after transition… I was still me regardless of how people saw me before, during and after (took 15 years). I was just getting treatment (a cure of sorts). My medical conditions (or disabilities) don’t define my personality or who I am as a person. That’s absolute nonsense.
You aren’t going to change my mind, and honestly this is becoming insulting, so I’m going to take my leave. I hope you have a good day, evening or night wherever you may be!
I’m not even trying to; I’m just categorically disagreeing with you, which you don’t like. Remember, you replied to me to disagree, because you most likely didn’t like my position to begin with. I’m clarifying my position and why I don’t agree, since you replied to me. But yes, thank you. You too.
