And this is sufficient for us to not tolerate their philosophy. They inherently exclude members of our community because they somehow think accepting those people will make their lives harder. We cannot tolerate people who are intolerant, full stop.
As a trans person with dysphoria so bad that it has made me suicidal, had to fight to get hormones, and wants gender affirming surgeries, I have seen nothing but understanding and support from those people who transmeds are exclusionary towards.
Transmedicalists on the other hand have spread outdated ideas and standards that interfered with my own journey. I didn't even suspect that I wanted to be a woman growing up, nor did I know I wanted it until I had a chance to experiment. During the time, I would've appeared as exactly the sort of person that transmeds dislike, and if I actually met one firsthand during that period, it easily could've made me waste more time doubting myself. Instead, it was the unconditional acceptance that I experienced during that time that did the most for me. It helped me push past all the shitty ideas I heard online and finally figure out who I wanted to be.
So no, I don't need to stereotype transmeds because the core tenet of their ideology is unforgivable enough. You don't need to exclude a single person to care about trans people with medical necessities. Hell, I wanted to research the evolutionary psychology of trans people before my country went to shit, and yet I never once believed that transmed beliefs held any water. Their beliefs are just self serving excuses to affirm themselves at the expense of others.
Well said
👏👏👏
Very well said! I didnt see the original comment, i imagine it was some BS about being a transmed sympathizer.
And if i understand their thing correctly, i would be one of the ones transmeds wouldve excluded for a looonng time, possibly forever. Thank you for standing up to the bullshit ❤️❤️
