I understand your feelings, and they are probably valid, but I couldn't resist posting this.  

Rock singer says he's a man again 11 years after coming out as trans woman | Daily Mail Online

I have no idea what kind of changes he made to himself over the last 11 years, and how many of those changes are reversible.

According to the article he stopped hormones and is having his "fake boobs" removed. That seems to be as far as he went with the physical transformation. He says his body dysmorphia is "cured." Good for him. As someone whose hormones went nuts thanks to perimenopause and are still not straightened out, I understand how folks feel when those are out of control. I believe there is a very different reason a lot of folks feel uncomfortable in their bodies that has nothing to do with mental illness, but that's for another discussion. 

And of course my feelings are valid.   Everyone's are whether we agree with them or not. I'm a lot more empathetic than you think regarding trans folks but I also believe men are men and women are women and everyone needs to stay in their lane regardless of what they do to their bodies to identify otherwise.
