I’m cis, but for me it’s basic bodily autonomy, I should be able to transition if I wanted to, and the fact that I don’t want to, doesn’t mean I shouldn’t have that right.
I also support my gender non conforming friends. I’m not just a selfish prick
I agree. However, I wonder how easy this concept is to sell for general population. (Excuse me in advance, if my ramblings seem ignorant, just trying to organise my thoughts…)
Most people seem to agree that free trans healthcare is vital treatment for an illness of dysphoria that make people suicidal. This is the transmed position if I’m correct. They might be completely unaware that there are trans people without dysphoria. (Heck, I just recently learned that too.) The thing is, if being trans would not be classified as an illness, then it might fall into cathegory of cosmetic treatments or such that are not usually tax-funded. There would be freedom of choice but it would depend on one’s personal wealth. Also, I get confused about this discussion whenever brought up, because US healthcare is so different compared to country where I live. (Well, our politicians are working on to change that by ruining everything.)
Do you think trans medicalists are the only people who are pro free hrt for trans people? That’s delusional and completely wrong.
I’m not a transmedicalist and I also am a literal medical advocate fighting for my right to access free HRT and surgery? I can just straight up post my case if you want because I won’t let this bad take stand. Dysphoria is still 100% a diagnosis that is separate from being trans and that is obviously not the reason trans healthcare has been put at risk on a global and local scale.
Sorry, I don’t comprehend what made you draw that conclusion. I was merely speculating that free HRT without a diagnosis might not be very popular political reform, at least in my country.
