I wonder how Pamela Paul would feel if I told her that the dental procedures she's undergone, or GLP agonist drugs she/her friends have tried, are all the dental/medical establishment preying on her vulnerable, mentally ill status.
(all of which is to say, profit-seeking healthcare is a real problem and I think there's a way resentment of that can be co-opted with anti-trans bias to manifest as that kind of patronizing "protect them from themselves!" nonsense, I just wonder how she'd feel if it were HER who couldn't get care)
I would just add that this is a very white experience. What a burn though, ouch!
