Transgenderism is Scientology for everyone not Tom Cruise and, if you replace “body thetans” with “gender identity”, it’s the same thing with no conceptual shift whatsoever.
Think about it: while a “body thetan” is some kind of ghost or spirit of an alien a gender identity is a ghost or spirit of someone with genitals of the opposite sex but, unlike Scientologists who pay good money (up to and including their life savings) to exorcise their thetans, trans don’t want to exorcise their gender thetans.
On the contrary: transgenders have the desire to become a mirror image of their own thetans, even willing to go so far as to pay good money (up to and including their life savings) for the plastic surgery, hormones and genital mutilation.
Imagine for a moment if Scientologists were to spend the amounts of money necessary for the plastic surgery needed to look exactly like their body thetan. If you’re suddenly thinking “Well, they’d all look like Tom Cruise”, you’re not wrong.
