I get what everyone is saying, but if we're being totally honest their issue is with gender affirming care is when it's used for the opposite gender they want to force you to maintain.

Male affirm male ok. Female affirm female ok. Male affirm female... AHHHHHHH!!!! BE AFRAID!!!!

Either way we're all correct in calling them assholes that should stay the fuck out of our pursuit of happiness.

Ah, but you see, a man who wants to live as a woman is delusional. A weak, low-T beta male who wants to live as an alpha is

...no, I still can't figure out how they square that with themselves

Eh, "cut my penis off because I want to be a woman" is a pretty far leap from "I wish i wasn't bald". That's how they square it.

I'm not judging one way or other.

So it's just a question of degree?

That means they'll have no problem with men growing their hair out, for example, or wearing makeup?

when it’s used for the opposite gender

I've never seen Elon present his long form birth certificate for the State of Texas to review, before beginning these treatments

Tbf: their understanding of the "original gender".

I literally heard an interview with a trans person who talked about how everyone who feels that they want to exert some effort to adjust their appearance to affirm the gender they feel is correct for them is trans. It doesn't matter what the starting or ending point is, if you make decisions to enhance your gender expression in any way, then you're engaging in trans behavior, and I think it's a great point.

I mean that's just completely incorrect though. The sentiment might be coming from a good place but it doesn't work that way.

Yeah, no. We don't need to make shit up. However, we could call it trans-gender affirming care and cis-gender affirming care. Using cis will trigger these idiots anyway, no need to call it trans.
