Some people are happy, some people are unhappy. We should keep using best practices and academically engaging the subject to produce better health outcomes. Not using the unhappy to deny care writ large.
Basically it’s a good question to ask. The issue is that question is generally used as a cudgel by transphobes.
And I agree with you and do think we need to ask questions for clarity’s sake, and that transphobes are always wrong to use such things as a cudgel. Being in transition is maybe the most honest state for humans to be in. We’re always in flux, changing from moment to moment.
I’m just wondering though how trans people see their transition - as a transition, or as a permanent state of not being necessarily one gender or another, or a little of all possibilities. I support them totally and am extremely outraged by laws forbidding trans people access to medical care, which is like equating them with cattle that don’t have minds or individualism of their own.

Ahhh I misunderstood your question then. That makes sense.
