The first question of course is what they mean by "girl". But let's assume good faith.

In good faith, I assume they mean gender, not sex. (It's not possible to change sex (yet).)

I also assume they do not mean sexual characteristics (they mentioned it's not necessary to change the body in any way, so no hormones etc.).

But I don’t want to alter my body!
You don’t have to…

The next step is to ask which element of gender.

Changing the gender role would require changing the way one presents which would require changing the body (see above).

It could be gender expression, but changing gender expression would require changing one's clothes, so the tool wouldn't help with that.

So yeah, gender identity is probably what they mean.

In good faith, I assume gender identity (and not gender roles or gender expression).

Wait.

If you identify with femininity, you already have feminine gender identity. So you don't need this tool.

Do they want to MAKE YOU identify with femininity? In good faith let's assume that's not the case.

But I don’t feel like a woman!
That’s OK, and it doesn’t change the fact that you are a woman inside.

Oh! So they indeed want to make me identify with femininity.

Let see what's next.

As a fundamental truth, we hold that gender is always self-identified.

But what about gender roles? I thought gender roles are about how the society sees you, no?

Nobody’s too old to transition into a woman’s life.

Wait, I thought they talked about gender identity, not gender roles?

Looking like a woman according to society's standards is a skill that you can learn and practice.

Wasn't it about gender identity and not gender roles and gender expression?

Presenting femininely is hard even for cis women to learn!

Wait, do they support stereotypes? Do they think that women SHOULD identify with femininity, present themselves in feminine way and accept their gender roles in the society, despite the roles being (often) sexist? Hmm, let's be positive and let's assume they don't.

There’s no inherent value toward being female, just as there’s no inherent value in being male.

Wait, male and female are about sex, not gender. OK, let's say they've made a mistake with words. Let's assume good faith.

We can’t make you wish you were a woman, but we can help you discover your pre-existing wish.

I wonder how they make a distinction between them making me wish something and them helping me in discovering my pre-existing wish. I want to know!

If it is a trend, it’s a very old one.

Oh, wait, but this article says something else: https://adc.bmj.com/content/archdischil ... 1.full.pdf
"There has been a large increase in the number of children and adolescents who question conventional gender expecta-tions andseek recognition and accep-tance of their gender diversity, wishing to develop a body that is congruent with their gender feelings."

Hmm, is it because the society got more tolerant or is it because sites like this one? I don't know.

Gender dysphoria often imitates a more general dysphoria about how you relate to people socially.

So do all people with autism/asperger/social issues/personality problems have gender dysphoria? If not, please explain clearly what's the difference so people won't make a mistake. I think it's important to clearly explain the difference on your website, no?




Also look at these funny elements:

But I don’t feel like a woman!
That’s OK, and it doesn’t change the fact that you are a woman inside.

What does it mean "you are a woman inside" if it's not about gender dysphoria?

If you feel depressed or anxious because you don’t feel like a woman, that feeling is called gender dysphoria

No it's not. Source: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/gender-dysphoria/
"Gender dysphoria is a condition where a person experiences discomfort or distress because there's a mismatch between their biological sex and gender identity."

(It's actually slightly more complicated, but the definition is almost right (the issue is that sometimes sex assignment at birth might be wrong, in other words the actual sex of the person is different from the assigned one, e.g. in fertile people with 5α-reductase deficiency). Such a person when their gender identity is masculine, would also be probably considered to have gender dysphoria. But I need to check, I'm not 100% sure.).

In other words, you "feel" like a woman (gender identity), but you're a man (assigned at birth). (Or the opposite.) That's gender dysphoria.

But I don’t want to alter my body!
You don’t have to. It’s very common for women not to want to change their bodies, especially at first. It’s also common for some of these feelings to change over time.

Smells like medical propaganda to me, but let's assume good faith and let's assume it's not.

Should I really assume good faith?

The Roger Bucklesby Bench Plaque – In the middle of August 2013, Maslin reportedly installed this plaque in a London park to his fictional character Roger Bucklesby – a misanthropic failed author. The bench plaque reads, "In memory of Roger Bucklesby who hated this park, and everyone in it." The image was originally posted on a Twitter account under the description "I was walking through London and came across this bench" and within hours its image went viral, receiving over 2 million views on image sharing website Imgur, thousands of retweets and over half a million likes on Facebook with ten thousand corresponding comments.[11] "We had no plans for this to turn into an internet hit" said Maslin, "we just hoped the occasional passerby would see it and have a giggle. It seems we've done plenty of that.
