Many are pushing for a full ban on transition. Many others are pushing for it to be considered elective procedures and therefore removed as a benefit from insurance plans. This renders it inaccessible to most trans people.

Well tbf trans organizations are speaking on both sides of their mouths by pushing for self-ID and saying no transition is needed and then also saying that facial feminization surgery and breast implants should be covered by insurance. Do you think those things should be covered by insurance as non-elective?

Ffs no, breast aug probably not other than in reconstructive cases (mastectomies due to cancer, trauma repair etc.)

I’m more talking about hormones, top surgery for trans guys, and bottom surgery.

Many are pushing for a full ban on transition.

Many? I would say this is an extreme view. Is there some GC organization that has made a public statement saying they believe there should be a full ban on medical transition? I certainly wouldn't support anything like that, and I doubt the majority of posters here would, either.
