If you experience gender dysmorphia, being forced to adopt the norms of the disconnected gender is far more psychologically damaging than exploration of something else.

Cognitive restructuring, aka adopting a new norm, is the DSM recommendation, because it usually works. Exploration is healthy.

One good way to make screen time (online; video games) slightly less unhealthy is a standing desk.

I mean, it’s quite obviously not to anyone with even a tiny modicum of common sense, and I say this as a trans person (although not a furry).

Modern psychology has built up an incredible memeplex that is accepted unquestioningly despite being an enormous load of bullshit / giant house of cards.

All relativist extremists fall back on it and use it to justify their detachments from and disdain for the shared reality we all inhabit together. Sad to witness, and only growing stronger, it seems.
