As technology improves I've not doubt it could eventually be like the top picture. But it shouldn't be happening in the first place. People with dysmorphia need mental help, not help mutilating their bodies to fit their delusion. Nobody is in the wrong body! Our society should be researching, building, and refining psychotherapy techniques to help these people, and investigate the actual cause of this condition and try to put a stop to it.
Having dysmorphia has got to be hell, and it's got to be a million times worse when the entire society around you plays along and encourages you to take your delusions even farther, praises you more and more the farther you go, to the point of self mutilation. And at the bottom of it all, they are still empty, they know deep down it's all still a lie, and that's why a lot decide to off themselves (even post surgery)
I agree, but I think your ire should be aimed at the evil on the side lines cheering this on, and the medical profiteers just itching to cut people up for money. (and I think you're alluding to that)
A random trans person is someone experiencing a mental crisis and getting bombarded with truly evil people egging them on, and selling snake oil cures that don't work. They are then basically programmed to parrot the same message, and brainwashed into thinking anyone who disagrees is evil and hateful.

I agree they need empathy. It's hard sometimes because they and their cohorts can be so damned annoying and disruptive.
It's too bad psychology is such a shit show - that would otherwise be the main place we'd hope to find a solution.

Definitely agree.
