If you can accept the reality of gender dysphoria, then it is reasonable to address how that condition is best treated. The consequences of not treating can be lethal via suicide so this is not an idle question. If transitioning makes the difference between life or death (or chronic substantial depression) then arguably encouraging this affected people to "be trans" is the right thing to do. Sorry if it hurts your feeling but that's the reality of it.
Just about any medical procedure will sometimes produce regrets in some portion of the population of people who undergo it, for instance vaccinations, amniocentesis, etc. It's not reasonable to suggest that because this is true that no one should have access to the treatments.

And you'll be older tomorrow. There is no escape. Being a dick about it won't help.
A shitposter for real!

It does seem that this would have happened eventually unless the rot was repaired, which didn't seem likely. However being accellerationist about it seems so foolish. Why wish for bad outcomes to happen sooner? There is no guaranteed good that will come later on to make it somehow a better choice than living with the lesser evil now.
What contact in your personal or professional life have you had with trans folk? Are you speaking with experience of appreciating their pain or are you just speaking based on what you've heard?
