What exactly does anti-trans therapy look like? (self.GenderCynical)

LangMeYourLightPrincess of Appropriation が 投稿

A lot of transphobic people (both conservative and TERF) suggest that trans people go to therapy and counseling instead of transitioning, but none of them ever say the method used.

Is there a lot of gaslighting?

Do they just constantly say "You're a man, you're a man, you're a man" or "You're a woman, you're a woman, you're a woman" until the cows come home?

Is it like gay conversion therapy, where they force you to alter your hobbies and friends circle to see if that makes you change?

Do they force you to touch yourself and see if that somehow cures your dysphoria?

Do they force you to stay off social media or stop listening to the radio?

How would that therapy work?

Mindfulness, DBT, CBT, radical acceptance. Focusing on ways to rationalize and compartmentalize dysphoria. Trying to "unlearn" whatever beliefs about your assigned sex/gender that drove you away from identifying with it as you were supposed to "naturally." Hard focus on the shortfalls of transition to "prove" the futility of trying, and accept the only way to be "real" and "authentic" is as your assigned sex/gender.

I bet "discovering your root" is part of it too.

I've been through DBT for other stuff and I found it incredibly gaslighty so I'm not surprised they want to use that on trans people.

Every time I've pressed for details I don't get any so now I just picture a dark room and you get tied to a chair while a disembodied voice tells you that you're a man and gives you a basic biology lesson and every time you look away they shock you. It's ridiculous but so was the time a GCer told me I was a coward for not embracing my masculinity so I'm just going off that.
