The biggest mistake I see in discussions of trans people's healthcare is the idea that hormones and the like are some special service just for us when really all kinds of people access the same health care for all kinds of reasons but they are *withheld* from us because we are trans

Gender affirming care is all of us - they just needed a starting point

And how many of us cis women are on hormone therapy for menopause? If you said half of us, I wouldn't be surprised.

They don’t want that, because it means that women who are past the age of fertility will still sometimes look young and fertile. This is why passing trans women are in their mind an even greater offense.

The level of insanity they will push is beyond most people’s imaginations

As a friend in energy policy put it, Trump is pissing off even his top donors to spite people he doesn't like. The tariffs hurt oil companies more than it ever helped them. Hurting people like you is acceptable so long as it is cruel to the OTHER. Cancer survivors are acceptable collateral

In case you're not getting it... I am receiving gender affirming care.

I, a cis female, require continuous birth control to maintain a steady hormone level to suppress hormone-triggered migraines. I inherited the migraine thing from dad and grandpa, just with a different trigger.

Good example of the federal government having great health care insurance and the rest of the American people struggling to have a life of wanting to live a normal life...
