The way society treat addiction is horrible, addicts need treatment and the whole system expecting them to just tough it out without ever building proper support systems is just setting them up to fail.

And most ressources to help addicts are generally faith based and don't actually work.

Really proud of you and your husband for going sober!

From a quick bit of research; there is no current recognized treatment for BID, although antidepressants and cognitive behavioral therapy may have some effect. Interestingly those who have self-amputated report they are much happier and don't regret it.

Now, transphobes LOVE to try to claim that mental illness/ / delusions are responsible for people being trans and they need 'treatment' and not 'encouragement' but of course absolutely none of them have ever read a single bit of transgender-related science.

the TLDR of it; anti-psychotic and other psychiatric meds do not work at all for gender dysphoria, electroshocks neither, no behavioral therapy either. You know what does actually work reducing the stress related to dysphoria? letting trans people fucking exist.

This isn't 'woke' agenda, it's the result of decades of science done by incredibly bigoted people who tried literally everything they could to 'de-trans' people, including lobotomies, and it never worked. Medicine should a) follow evidence not agenda b) exist to lessen the suffering of people.
