The difference is Sickle Cell Anemia or Cancer or something like that is a problem on a biological level. It's nature's fault, so we can't fix it without curing it (or at least treating the symptoms). Lack of acceptance of sexual preference/gender identity is a society level problem, we can fix that.

PT6A posted:I think it's generally accepted that at least a portion of being transgender and/or experiencing gender dysphoria comes from differences in the physiology of the brain. Basically, the brain and the body don't match each other on a biological level. The current treatment for such is to alter the body to match the brain, since we don't know how to do it the other way around, but there's no inherent reason why we couldn't alter the brain to match the body (which is what the Magic Pill would do) if it were a more effective treatment. This is not really the same as sexual preference, or even how you choose to express your gender or lack thereof. I'm literally a transgendered woman so yes I am aware. The point I was trying to make is the vast majority of the problems for trans people come from stigma, which is a societal problem. If trans people could be their desired gender without being harassed it wouldn't totally alleviate the problem (They still would hate their body) it would remove a lot of the stress of it.
