Maybe they need therapy to help convert them.
Oh wait.
Maybe let people exist, eh?
Don't compare cracking someone's egg to conversion therapy, they are not the same, cracking people's eggs saves lives, it frees them from denial and allows them to be happy as their authentic self. Conversion therapy tries to force people deeper into denial. This is such a rotten and transphobic argument.
You are not the arbiter of who is or is not trans. You are free to help someone come to the realization that they may be trans, but do not invalidate their identity in the process.
Gender expression is a spectrum, and just because someone isn't 100% gender conforming doesn't automatically make them trans.
It is not invalidating their identity it is helping discover who they really are, helping them come out of the egg and break the denial that prevents them from being their most legitimate selves.
Literally indistinguishable from transphobe rhetoric.
