      Incase you’ve failed to notice, were in the midst of a global incitement of hatred towards trans people.

      I’m going to suggest to you that just maybe, if trans people wanting to escape that hatred makes people hate them more, then the problem isn’t the trans person

      Further than that, if anyone seeking better access to healthcare for themselves makes you hate them, the problem isn’t the healthcare or the people trying to access it

      @Auzy If something causing immense distress to someone that requires a surgery to address the overall mental well-being, should be covered by medicare or the government. Trans or no trans this is to improve someone’s mental health and should not be count as beauty surgery, there is a big difference. Even at my home country IRAN part of the expenses are covered by government for trans people and this is just embarrassing for western countries.

          I used to care about things like even my hair cut. I used to be extremely self conscious.

          That is nothing like dysphoria, and your equating of the two experience indicates a very significant lack of understanding of the trans experience.

          I’m trans, and I used to be self conscious about my hair, but it didn’t cause me pain or dysphoria. Then I transitioned, and after surgeries and hormones, my body finally felt the way it should, no more pain or dysphoria. Guess what though, I’m still self conscious about my hair, because it’s entirely unrelated to my experience as a trans person…

              Hey dude, this is a trans space. You should not barge in and start fighting trans people. That’s not nice be(e)havior. If you want to engage with people you don’t understand, you need to do so by treating them with good faith and listen to them.
