Did you actually just compare being transgendered to suffering from a spinal cord injury??

I’m curious, why do you feel the need to hurt marginalized people? What do you gain?

I'm calling out your celebration of suffering. I'm not hurting marginalised people.

Both gender dysphoria and spinal cord injuries tend to be severely debilitating.

We're not lucky to have transgender people. Luck would be nobody suffering from gender dysphoria. The people who end up needing to correct their gender are absolutely not lucky. Why do you think their misfortune makes us lucky?

I'm all for trans rights, consequently I'm also disgusted by you making light of the suffering implied by gender dysphoria.
