counterpoint: maybe she wouldn’t fucking have mental health issues if she didn’t posses the power to kill people by touch? just a thought
you’re literally just repeating storm’s flawed argument, it’s real easy to say “oh but your power isn’t bad” when you’re not the one unable to touch people without killing them.
Why should people be defined by things like that? shouldn’t they be free to “cure” it if they want?
People do this same thing with all kinds of disabilities, especially stuff like autism/ADHD. “autism is your super power” very easy to say and it sounds nice, but you don’t get to be the arbiter of what’s part of people’s identity. If someone wants to “cure” a thing you don’t think is bad, tough shit! You don’t get a say in it.

I’m a transwoman, I’ve definitely heard people tell me I don’t need to transition I can just “Be gay and wear dresses all I want”
I’m not a drag queen or a ladyboy, I’m a woman who used to be trapped in a man’s body. And yes I was a woman trapped in a man’s body
“Oh no you were always a girl.”
No, if I was always a girl then I’d have never had a problem.
I like the mentality of well wishers but Toxic Positivity sucks.
