Maybe the circumstances are dissimilar but the logic is pretty much the same.
I saw a DS9 episode where Sikso wants to be a "writer". And everyone says he's crazy for wanting to be something that society won't let him.

Its a fine example of magically logicicking that its harmful to want to be trans and than saying because society (DSM!) says you shouldn't its bad for you.
TBH - I'de rather be open about it and say what I want than live out the rest of my life miserable and wishing I would have said something about it. I was made fun of in middleschool horribly. Not because I was actually harming myself or I was doing anything harmful to anyone.
But because people FEARED my ideas.
