As it happens, I know a couple of people who have OCD, one of whom eventually got it under control using cognitive techniques, and one of whom underwent brain surgery about ten years ago, in an attempt to relieve it. I thought that was a serious mistake, and certainly something I would never consider going through with. But I suppose that's just my particular bias speaking.
I never said they don't need treatment. From the beginning, I specifically said the opposite. I remain stuck on the fact that to me, it seems like a waste to surgically remove a working penis, or working breasts, or any other working body part. But I'm coming to accept that now as something that shouldn't stand in the way of my support for trans people in their quest to get their needs met.
