grayer zone

2020-01-02 22:12:12 UTC  

that's not true, hormone blockers

2020-01-02 22:12:27 UTC  

... but they should be able to cuz it's free

2020-01-02 22:12:38 UTC  

I'd still say like

2020-01-02 22:12:45 UTC  

they should get some approval from a doctor to take it

2020-01-02 22:12:53 UTC  

but that's easy

2020-01-02 22:12:53 UTC  

Informed consent

Jack ass

2020-01-02 22:12:56 UTC  

Well, that's probably a tenet of transmedicalism...
they want to have some sort of rapport with a counselor/therapist at an early age... hormone blockers, a diagnosis, etc

2020-01-02 22:12:56 UTC  

yes

2020-01-02 22:13:10 UTC  

thats' literally

2020-01-02 22:13:11 UTC  

not

2020-01-02 22:13:12 UTC  

transmedicalist

2020-01-02 22:13:15 UTC  

```Transmedicalism is a term for a wide range of beliefs in the transgender community that are critical of transgender people who haven't medically transitioned and/or don't experience major dysphoria. Many transmedicalists (or "transmeds" for short) focus on gatekeeping.

```

2020-01-02 22:13:26 UTC  

trans people who don't transition are still valid!

2020-01-02 22:13:29 UTC  

just as valid!

2020-01-02 22:13:43 UTC  

sorry, gonna eat lunch

2020-01-02 22:13:45 UTC  

lmfao

2020-01-02 22:13:59 UTC  

I don't think they say non transitions are invalid...
They just not trans

2020-01-02 22:14:06 UTC  

@Deleted User the ONLY claims I will make are that [1] hrt should require GD diag and [2] srs should require GD diag

2020-01-02 22:14:19 UTC  

Okay that's false

2020-01-02 22:14:24 UTC  

Niether should require it

2020-01-02 22:14:26 UTC  

???

2020-01-02 22:14:33 UTC  

but then you risk unnecessary treatment

2020-01-02 22:14:35 UTC  

a waste of resources

2020-01-02 22:14:36 UTC  

Why should hrt require a GD diagnosis

2020-01-02 22:14:41 UTC  

5:14 PM] acb: ???
[5:14 PM] acb: but then you risk unnecessary treatment
[5:14 PM] acb: a waste of resources

2020-01-02 22:14:58 UTC  

I don't think all unecessary things are waste

2020-01-02 22:15:04 UTC  

If you think this then stop playing video games

2020-01-02 22:15:18 UTC  

we should set a higher standardfor medicine than for playtime

2020-01-02 22:15:24 UTC  

b/c it has longer and larger consequences

2020-01-02 22:15:32 UTC  

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

2020-01-02 22:17:03 UTC  

Yeah you can fuck off

2020-01-02 22:18:00 UTC  

I don't think physiological preferences are comparable to "play time"

2020-01-02 22:19:03 UTC  

I ate fast and you two were gone <:pepehands:644890202304937994>

2020-01-02 22:19:41 UTC  

```2:13 PM] acb: trans people who don't transition are still valid!
[2:13 PM] acb: just as valid!```
Of course... but I still don't see how believing the above makes **one not a transmedicalist**

2020-01-02 22:20:16 UTC  

Unless you're like... an exclusionary or **trans only, transmedicalist** which seems like a particularly rare position

2020-01-02 22:20:52 UTC  

We canf allbe soulless robots with No physiological préférences

2020-01-02 22:21:22 UTC  

Which is why I'm not really concerned with the label of being a transmed...

2020-01-02 22:22:25 UTC  

I mean... there's not much reason to be upset, if you're taking this personally...
It's because you feel personally you could not have had access to a counselor to build the rapport or be in the system long enough to get a diagnosis?
But this is why socialism/free healthcare is actually so vital
