I don't disagree. Pretty much any surgery should be preceded by consultations with appropriate professionals to rule out less invasive alternatives for solving the problem. But, again, there's an important difference between expressing supportive concern that somebody might not have properly considered their decision, and a blanket statement of "however you turned out is how you should be and you're wrong to want to change that." The former accepts that they have a problem they want to solve, and is trying to provide alternatives that might be safer, which is accepting and supportive. The latter starts from the premise that they are wrong to want to change themselves and need to justify the decision to you, which is neither accepting nor supportive.

I don't think anyone has to justify themselves to me, I don't judge Trans people for being Trans. If that's what you want go ahead and do it. I'm just saying you should at least try to like yourself as you are before you do anything, and that's not just about Trans people. There were plenty things I hated about myself before I started to love myself and got rid of the self loathing.
