What's next, they're going to complain that people are donating period products to homeless women instead of trans males so they can shove tampons up their ass or something?

Or better, how about the fact that cosmetic/plastic surgery is seen as "necessary" for trans people, but people with deformities due to birth defects or injury still need to pay in full and are given lower priority?

this! a boob job is necessary for trans women, but for women with back problems it's not covered by insurance/an esthetic surgery.

Yep. And what about small-breasted women who "identify" as busty (or vice-versa)? See themselves as being in the "wrong body"? One that doesn't match their inner, true self? Why isn't a boob job considered necessary (and thus deserving of insurance coverage, etc.) for THEM?

too low on the oppression totem pole. they should identify as non-binary or make up a gender for bonus points.
