It feels like a solution opposite to homosexuality, and one that sort of celebrates the male/female gender roles rather than try to abolish them. If we didn't have those roles I wonder if people would feel more comfortable just being themselves without changing their appearance to fit a certain gender. Of course then there are people who just want a penis/vagina instead of what they have by default, which is fine too
Tbh there's a few misconceptions in this
Gender dysphoria is entirely seperate to sexual orientation, who you're attracted to has no bearing on how you feel about your gender identity and body. Being gay doesn't make you want to transition, and transitioning isn't always to straight.
Dysphoria doesn't necessarily keep you within the gender binary either, in fact the existence of other genders is because of dysphoria that puts people outside of it.
