a little strange to get dms from other trans people saying they agree with biden's dumb statemet that he doesnt want minors getting gender-affirming care. if you really think its such an epidemic that 13 year olds are getting their knockers blown off by surgeons every other day, then please point me in the direction of said 13 year olds that are somehow accessing gender-affirming care that literal trans adults can't even access.

like please be fr. we literally have privatized healthcare and insurance where not even people who go through the appropriate avenues can get approved for care they need to stay alive. what makes you think a trans minor is getting phallo or vaginalplasty. feel whatever you want about 13 year olds who want gender-affirming care, but dont parrot transphobic rhetoric that is based on no facts and a moral panic. they second they legitimize barriers to care for trans minors is the second they start finding ways to do the same for trans adults. dont be a buffoon.

#muerto talks #im sorry but you look a little foolish saying all that #especially as a trans person #do i think a 13 year old should get a major surgery? idk! im not said 13 year old! and neither are you!#leave that up for the 13 year olds and their team of doctors and family and friends and therapists and whatever #but limiting access to care #even if they have to wait a few years is still going to get trans kids killed #somehow intersex newborns getting their genitals mutilated to be easily categorized is not too young for such invasive surgeries #but a 13 year old is?#yeah i see whats happening here #an infant cant reject socially imposed ideas of gender much less consent to invasive surgery #but you will white knuckle whatever power you have over a child who dares to express themselves freely #i couldnt even get top surgery in my 20s without two letters of approval and several months of therapy proving that i needed this #u people will believe anything #use ur head please just for once and stop listening to the fears the moral panic spews at ys
