From James Templeton:
"I am not trans, but I identified as gay since 1991. I was sexually abused, had no father, and raised by women. No masculine role model whatsoever. I DOVE into the gay ‘community’ at 15. Jordan is speaking total, complete TRUTH when he said there’s no ‘community’. The ‘community’ did nothing to help anyone. Many friends of mine became addicts or died young. Your “friends” in the community never reach out and are jealous when you move forward to better your life. Years ago I used to dislike Jordan P because of how uncomfortable I was with him speaking truth, I didn’t want to hear it. God Bless you Jordan."

there are problems with the "surgery helped me" argument. we can't know it was the surgery because that was the path you took. maybe other you's in other alternate timelines didn't take the surgery and also felt better. oftentimes when people are feeling uncomfortable just having professionals validate that discomfort and taking action aimed at helping you feel better works, whatever that action may be. it could also be just a function of change, or of time.
