I'm fine with my analogies. My point is no one is choosing to be trans. It's not a matter of what their loved ones want.
They aren’t? It seems many are.
Who said gender dysphoria is a good thing?
The LGBTQ community, and so many in leftist ideology, pop culture, and in the Democrat party. they try to take the disease and coax them deeper in (which opens the individual to higher risk of severe emotional suffering). They nurture the disease, and have no desire to guide a person back to being what they are biologically.
Are you under the impression that all trans people want to kill themselves?
No, I’m under the impression that 40% do, which is shockingly high, is this a risky ideology to partake in, and when compared to low
Suicide rates among other victim groups suggests an internal confusion and disconnect that breeds such emotional turmoil. It’s not meanies who disagree.
Some suffer from gender dysphoria, or distress from lack of access to care, some lead perfectly happy lives except for the hate and vitriol they receive from others.
All groups receive hate and vitriol. Christians are constantly mocked in society, but we largely don’t victimize ourselves. You can disagree and not hate us, you can actively hate us but we don’t become depressed in high numbers or have high suicide rates.
If such treatment causes those in a movement to be so depressed or affected, it proves the movement has no natural foundation in the mind, and is flimsy. The best “proof” is the disease, not the mystical change and affirmation/celebration of the identity/biology (which you can’t separate). Men are men, they have a penis, they can’t get pregnant.
What data? Post a link that shows many are joining for the social rewards. In the beginning of your premise it was suicide rates that were the issue (much of that from hate and bigotry) and now it's socially rewarding? Those two arguments seems incongruent beyond the lack of evidence.
20% of Gen z identify in the LGBTQ community. Look at the rise in the article over the generations. It’s not as if the human body changed in 10 years.. for many it’s just the way for young often depressed people to bathe in praise by the media/Democrats as “brave” and “strong”, for the lost/bored to make themselves more interesting, and for the largely powerless to have their turn to try to impose their will (false identity/pronouns) onto others
The percentage of U.S. adults who identify as LGBTQ has doubled over the past decade.

Trans is a spectrum. Not everyone wants to surgically transition.
Nobody said so, I referenced identity change as well.
