I agree with Exo, but before leaving this off I want to explain my objections a bit

Those are all hallmarks of the inadequacies of our DNA and development in the womb. The point was that being trans is a condition / state of being that said person didn't ask for, and one that's not really treatable in the truest sense because even when people transition, you get those who, for example, want to go back to the sex they already changed from. I know people who don't feel right in their own skin regardless of what surgeries or therapies they undergo, regardless of any other factor.
You may not think of it as such, but I'm empathetic towards those who deal with those issues them because i recognize that we live in a world that can't really help them one way or the other, but maybe not ridiculously far off from being able to. Our methods are inadequate and society is weak and biased and unwilling to deal with that kind of complexity.
You can choose to disagree with the fact that we live in a ****ed up universe. But I didn't deserve to be banned for explaining myself. If that crossed a line of some kind, then I apologize.

Nobody is claiming the universe isn't ****ed up. Especially the comparison to cults is problematic. Together with the remark about transitioning back, you're saying that the state of being trans is an inherently negative state of being confused/troubled about your identity, not feeling right in your own skin. It implies there's something 'wrong' with trans people, while being trans is simply having a gender that doesn't correspond to your birth sex. There's nothing wrong with that in itself, implying otherwise is problematic.
I appreciate that your tone is more respectful in this post though, consider this an honest attempt at coming to a better mutual understanding.
