Like I get that not everybody is willing to wash another person’s butt to get there but you can’t even admire the result?
It's a mindset thing. To give an example, think of the "meat is murder" vegans. A hamburger is a marvel of ingenuity considering its worldwide success, yet to the people who vividly picture how it's produced from start to finish the end result isn't something to be admired.
The disgust is self-inflicted because their set of values cannot reconcile with the method used or the whole process itself.
-
Did you just compare transitioning to making hamburger?
-
Is the argument that because there is a manufacturing process involved in making a hamburger that the suffering is worth it? I didn't torture anyone to transition.
-
Good point, and well illustrated. Sorry so many people got hung up on the metaphor.
-
Did you just compare being trans to being vegan?
-
So you think hambörger is more beautiful than a cow's life?

I'm sorry, what? Do people actually say that?? Wtf?
-
yea, they say that, or what I’ve seen often is "im grieving the death of my son!!"
like, why not celebrate the birth of your daughter instead?
-
To be fair, especially to parents I get the part of grieving of someone you love not being there anymore. But if that person isn't really dead but just a different (better) version of the person, I don't really get how you can believe you are greaving while you're simultaneously not keeping that person close to you? I mean, that will only make the loss worse, right?

Both my partner and parents said that, it's quite common.
-
Relatives usually
-
If it's just relatives saying that, you might have a good social circle, because relatives are the only ones you can't choose.

Watch that Elon Musk interview with Jordan Peterson. Elon seriously says that his "son" died to "the Woke Mind Virus". (His daughter Vivian is trans and is happily living far away from her father in Japan.)

I pity the guy. He tried really damn hard (without much success) and then I had to murder him.
-
I think it's more like seeing someone hatch XD
-
Sure somebody died but that somebody was never me, sorry (not) that the actural me exists now and the actural me is a silly catgirl :3

"You know that friend that you loved? He was a piece of shit and so are you for caring about him"
-
Yeah basically. The person is still there. You should celebrate, not mourn, that the person you love is taking a step towards who they want to be. Acting like you lost something is incredibly hurtful, because the person is still right there, they're just changing. If their gender expression is the only thing that made them important to you then yes, you're a piece of shit.
He was a piece of shit and so are you for caring about him
The friend is not gone. This implies that you cared about who they were and not who they are. Any mourning is just an indicator that you don't actually love this person, you love who you thought they were and don't actually care about their happiness. Abusive behavior.

Sorry what is the context? I am kind of out of the loop.
-
When trans people transition, some people, especially parents, experience a period of grief for the person they knew. Especially transphobic ones describe that as "my son died".
And they're right. He killed himself so that I might live.

When my best friend transitioned it was like watching someone begin to exist. Nothing was lost when she came out. She became MORE. More vibrant, more alive, more enthusiastic, more driven, more creative, more HERSELF. It was like the one who was there pre-transition wasn't even a whole person but just a shell or a mask. I'm so fucking proud of her ;~; <3
Can only confirm this. Since I had to finally acknowledge, that I'm trans life really does feel different. For the first time in literal years I have been able to feel true happiness. Prior to my realisation life kinda sucked. It was more like a monotonous stream of time where nothing really happened.
