Support taxpayer-funded gender therapy and medical services. Even if you do not think gender is a thing separate to sex, there are trans people suffering dysphoria whose lives will be improved with access to better gender care, even if it is only gender therapy. Even if you fear that young people mistakenly think they are trans, access to gender therapy that might broaden their viewpoint is a better alternative than resorting to DIY hormones. Holistic healthcare, taxpayer funded so the young and poor can access it. This does not mean affirmation-only services, nor does it invalidate your concerns about sex-based rights.

I don’t want my taxes paying nor nose jobs for people with BDD or severely low self esteem so why should FFS and breasts be publicly funded?

I don’t expect tax to pay to fix my bunions. Nobody in the world needs elective or cosmetic procedures.

I am fine with using taxes to fund therapy. Not other medical sevices.
