If you were trans in your mind, would you transition?

That's like saying your nose bothers you so cut it off. It's bullshit.
If gender is a social construct like they try to tell us, then why have a doctor cut up healthy organs to match a social construct? There is no logic behind it.
She had her genitals mutilated because she was living up to other people's expectations of gender. I have no doubt that it will cause her immense psychological turmoil for the rest of her life. And I guarantee you, it will be a sad short life.

No, because your nose and your genitalia are both very different and the genitals are hidden and private
When she looked down, what she saw didn't match the rest of her. Girls don't have penises
She knew she was a girl ever since she was little. I don't really like the idea of mutilation either but look at how many women have their breasts cut into and have something false inserted
At least transgenders are trying to correct a genetic flaw rather than going under the knife because of vanity
It's her body, after all, and no one has to like it except her

Nettie, you and this unfortunate girl are following some political script written for you which is at odds with reality. Biology does not put "wrong" brains in the "wrong" bodies. If the organs work there is no reason to cut them up.
This is not comparable to a nose job or a breast enhancement. Nose jobs and boob jobs are the cosmetic altering of a body part. Cosmetic surgery is not the removal of a nose and turning it into gills. It's not turning a nose into a nonworking replica of something else.
Transgender theory says that all women are not born with vaginas. So lets say Jazz Jennings is a woman. If that's how she feels then great for her. She's a woman with a penis. It's supposedly a social construct that a creature with a penis is always male. So be it. She has been indoctrinated by a heterosexist society to believe she must have a vagina. Nobody told nature that.
If she had been abandoned as an infant and raised by wolves, she might feel like a female. But she would never think she shouldn't have a penis. That's a human social construct.

Yes, biology does exactly that. Biology also makes other birth "defects" all the time
Because this one is gender, no one wants to accept that it can happen

Give me an example of another healthy working organ which is removed or surgically altered as a "defect"? It's only penises and vaginas.
And again, there are many transgender folks who prefer not to have genital alteration.

The "defect" is in the brain and chromosomes. The organs just happen to be that of the wrong gender

I have empathy for people who have this because it must be a struggle

Of course they have high suicide rates. I'm not saying their lives are easy. I'm saying genital surgery is not the solution. Many trans people commit suicide after surgery.
The first rule of being a healthy person is to accept yourself. As I said, fine, live as whichever gender you choose. But don't think having a healthy organ turned into a nonworking replica of something else is gonna solve your problems.
It's as if you didn't read a word of my post and just gave me some kneejerk politically correct response.
