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
yes
thats' literally
not
transmedicalist
```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.
```
trans people who don't transition are still valid!
just as valid!
sorry, gonna eat lunch
lmfao
I don't think they say non transitions are invalid...
They just not trans
@Deleted User the ONLY claims I will make are that [1] hrt should require GD diag and [2] srs should require GD diag
Okay that's false
Niether should require it
???
but then you risk unnecessary treatment
a waste of resources
Why should hrt require a GD diagnosis

I don't think all unecessary things are waste
we should set a higher standardfor medicine than for playtime
b/c it has longer and larger consequences

Yeah you can fuck off
I don't think physiological preferences are comparable to "play time"
I ate fast and you two were gone <:pepehands:644890202304937994>

Of course... but I still don't see how believing the above makes **one not a transmedicalist**
Unless you're like... an exclusionary or **trans only, transmedicalist** which seems like a particularly rare position
We canf allbe soulless robots with No physiological préférences
Which is why I'm not really concerned with the label of being a transmed...
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
If we had had free health care, people could have been diagnosed earlier for hormone blockers
And that paves the way for more controlled/secure transitions
I already have one
Has nothing to do with me personally
I'm just disgusted by the view
why is that?

anyone wanna play showdown
