Well, for my part I've talked to a few trans people on Reddit, and man they are not a happy bunch. Two were of note...

One was definitely Jewish (and a lawyer no less), and the other was an occultist.

The first one was super smart, but was a controlling person (mainly to his wife). The other was much more difficult to talk to, because they had lost a leg and were post-op, and they rather rued the decisions that led to those two events (they got hit by a train after a manic episode of "witchcraft").

These are people that are mainly focused on themselves, which is fine, but lack some element of control in their own lives. I believe the lawyer did it not so much because he thought he was a woman, but because it allowed him to vent like a woman, and be nasty (to his wife). So, in both cases, I think there was a strong bipolarity there...weak and depressed as a male, and manic and confrontational as a woman.

Neither person became better after becoming trans...the lawyer's wife started drinking more (not an overreaction to your husband wearing wigs and doing his nails imo), further straining a tense relationship, and the other one, well, if you are making videos on Reddit that are pleas for help, chances are that you aren't very happy.

I don't know if talking to them made them feel better necessarily, but at least I was able to give my thoughts on things in a positive way, even without masking my mild disapproval. I think the best thing is to be as "real" with these people as possible.
