They do realise that all treatment henceforth will be considered elective and cosmetic, therefore not taxpayer funded. What are TRAs actually trying to achieve?

Being homosexual never required treatment, so its downgrade from mental illness meant that people could go off and live their gay/bi lives. Trans people rely completely on medical services to treat their shit...unless what they're planning is for not only trans to not be considered a mental illness, but they don't even plan on transitioning medically or physically, it's just in name only?

Fuck these people.

I heard they've found a way around that. Someone was saying that in California (of course), you are now the gender you identify as, so the removal of any "abnormal growths," e.g., breasts on FTMs, is now medically justified.

In other words, one's perfectly healthy breasts have been redefined as "abnormal growths."

They're nothing if not creative.

Of course they have. I'm wondering how they'll reword breast implants and phalloplasty? The unremoval of abnormal growths?

Probably. Of course, by that same logic, if I identify as 22 years old, I should be eligible for all possible cosmetic procedures to reverse three decades of aging. When you open the door to this kind of crazy reasoning, there's no end to it.

I identify with someone with model legs. So I do requires leg lengthening operations paid by the state to turn by stubby legs into what I identify with. Also I identify as as billionare, so I require an account of at least a billions euros. Thanks.

I can see how they would say it's the same as correcting a defect, such as correcting nose that was very abnormal from birth or was damaged in an accident. It's all dependent on the transmed/truscum ideology that they have "intersex" (opposite sex) brains, so all their sexed characteristics are "birth defects".

Actually it was removed in 2018 and somehow they are getting special privileges.

Of course there are people comparing it to homosexuality, like usual

Haha I forgot about r/unpopularopinion and didn't know they also had r/trueunpopularopinion. Back then, you could criticism trans/gender ideology on reddit---that sub was the GO TO for that. People used to post about how much they're against it all the time.

Curious on what it's like now. I mean...it's supposed to be unpopular opinion so them staying anything critical about trans ideology shouldn't be removed or banned...right? 🤔

The WHO is a political organization not a medical group. With what they did covering up for China during the early days of covid it should be clear to everyone that they do and say whatever they are paid to. Problem is Trump criticized the WHO so now liberals have made defending it a partisan identity.

I love being a leftist and having right wing liberal democrats call me right wing and anti-science for pointing out facts which coincidentally align with something Trump said.

Every time they mention Trump I just feign ignorance & ask "who is that?". They desperately want a boogeyman. He's not president, he is not even on Twitter, he's a z-list celebrity from an old news story. He is insignificant.
