When I was in college, I volunteered at a counseling center, so we were tutored in different issues. What has struck me about the Trans movement is how similar it was to the explosion of eating disorders when I was coming of age. Trauma is a common theme, but so is trying to take control and gain power over a situation when you feel you don't have any. It is a warped reaction.
One of the best pieces I have seen on transitioning and detranstioning in terms of mindset. Long, but her story is insightful. Highly recommend. (Hard to believe she is only in her early 20s.)
