What about GAC that cis-gendered people access that is arguably not medically necessary? Such as HRT for menopause, hypogonadism, or sexual enhancement? HRT adds to quality of life (and affirms one’s gender, looking at you, Viagra) but is arguably not at all medically necessary in most common use cases.
Or going past hormones, what about body augmentation incl. things like aesthetic or reconstructive surgeries, hair transplants or removals?
I was going to post something like this in response, but you beat me. Well said. There are so many medical treatments we do that aren’t medically necessary to sustain life, but are instead used to improve quality of life. It would be odd to start drawing the line and denying quality of life care arbitrarily like that.
Not sure if you actually meant that in response to me?
I was pointing out to that guy that GAC isn’t exclusively for trans people, and that by their logic, if you want to deny it for one group then it should be denied for all people unless life-critical. I think certain people forget their little blue pills are about affirming their identify as men.
