"Trans people should have free surgeries, just saying!"

If gender dysphoria isn't a mental illness (like people who say that bollocks above claim it to not be), then I see no need in my money going towards paying for fucking surgery. Most of the transitioning process is purely cosmetic... and cosmetic alterations have to be paid for! What a shocker!

Ah! The fundamental contradiction of the modern transgender movement: I's not a mental illness until we need it to be.

The WHO took transgenderism away from the DSM using the premise that one doesn't need to have gender disphoria or gender identity disorder in order to identify themselves as transgender.*

The problem is that once the mental illness label go away, the obligation of the government to provide free surgeries for them also goes away.

Funny isn't?

*this also makes the differentiation between real disphoric people from fetishists impossible, by the way. Based on this we can assume that people at the WHO also thinks that the two are the same.

There are surgeries that I could get to make me look and feel more feminine and probably make me feel much much better about myself and my "gender." Why can't I get them free?
