Cannot find my older post about it (tbh I didn't try very hard) but honestly I am so tired of people trying to pretend like there's any sort of consistency to "cis women getting a nose job is evil and NOT feminist. However all transsexual surgery is Holy Holy Holy". It's truly not surprising how often people end up reblogging from like, actual tradcaths about "modern women ruining their natural feminine beauty" or whatever. I've said this all before so I don't wanna repeat myself but obviously this does not mean "you cannot critique what drives people (cis or trans) to get 'plastic surgery'" or "women's choices exist in a vacuum" (although I would roll back some of the extreme performative hatred for women who make The Bad Not Feminist Choices), but it DOES mean "stop pretending like there's any sort of actual distinction between Cis Plastic Surgery (bad) and Trans 'Gender-Affirming' Surgery (good) that does not fully rely on the medicalization of being transgender" and it ALSO means "stop pretending to care about bodily autonomy when what you really mean is 'people can do things with their bodies I think are cool and good, but not things that I don't like. Those things should literally be banned, that's how we will save women'"
#i've Definitely said this before but bodily autonomy is not just the tumblr leftist transSEXual commune smoking and getting abortions or w/e#it's also all the things you don't like. it's also all the things you think are frivolous. it's also all the things you think are harmful#idk toooo many terfs have come into my notes to tell me that transgender surgery is equivalent to eating disorders#or 'transracial' plastic surgery or Literal Self-Mutilation or whatever that i'm done pretending#i'm not going to do the Noooo it's different! this is Medically Necessary surgery to treat the mental illness that makes me trans <3#thing i'm Done. there is no definitive line between 'cosmetic surgery' and 'gender-affirming surgery'#and if it's either have both or have neither i think it's pretty obvious which one we should choose#open mick night#gender#idk you familiarize yourself with enough anti-trans anti-drug anti-kink and etc talking points and all this starts to#leave a bad taste in your mouth lol#when i say you can do WHATEVER you want forever i do mean it. even if the things are harmful or politically reductive or whatever#you can Leftist Critique it but you cannot even for one second start to fall into the 'and this is why women should Not Be Allowed To-' tra#bc as always. what's ur reasoning? you find it morally wrong? what other medical procedures do people find morally wrong? regarding women?
