Similar vibes to Storm (the incredibly powerful mutant with fully hideable powers who is worshipped as a goddess by some cultures) saying ‘we don’t need a cure, we’re perfect as we are’ to Rogue (the mutant who kills everyone she touches).
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.
If I’m born with a 6th finger there’s not necessarily anything wrong with that but at the same time if I want it amputated that should be my choice and my right.
Accepting yourself is preferable but I think it’s just as valid to make choices about your own life if you can. Whether it’s a disease or not isn’t the issue.
Rogue isn’t making an informed decision. She’s just trauma reacting. If she were my patient, I wouldn’t sign off on a superpowerectomy until she’s made a proper effort to come to terms with her power and control it. Right now, she’s not fully of sound mind with regards to her power. She needs therapy before she can fully understand the choice she wants to make.

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.
