trans healthcare is the term i stubbornly stick to. "gender affirming care" is dipshit cis ally speak and implies it is something optional (which it aint for the majority of trans people) which keeps them thinking healthcare bans are akin to a bully stealing a kid's sweets rather than murder.

Sorry to report I hate this kind of shit and I think this kind of naivety is dangerous and should be loudly pushed back against

but to make an argument in the public sphere that, say, a cis hair transplant is the same as *gender affirming care* is to undermine the terms that require us to make a plea for trans rights to gender affirming care in the first place.

great thread! I personally find it insulting when cis ppl compare trans healthcare to cis cosmetic surgery (which I have nothing against on principles of bodily autonomy!) and I think the comparison reinforces the idea that we only transition for vanity and can just go without

it’s not a very funny one. don’t tell random trans mascs or men to just be lesbians it doesn’t take rocket science to figure out why that’s shitty and ill received

This is why “they’d never say that about Black people” or “can you imagine if that happened to a Black person” grates me on a personal level because it’s totally disingenuous. The moment undeniable racism happens, it’s “everyone knows” as a dismissal. It’s clown shit.

it’s the same characterization of our healthcare that right wingers use to mock us too I feel like I’m losing my marbles!! like we’re all hearing the “transgenders are selling sob stories for their silly expensive cosmetic surgeries” rhetoric it’s not even subtle

it’s also the same fucking logic that a capitalist society uses to deem trans healthcare frivolous and cosmetic. it’s the same logic that conceptualizes transness as ontologically white.

in every capacity it’s fucking disgusting to think that way and yet today i saw another trans women say it
