As long as these terms are not being pushed on women then truly there's nothing wrong with wanting to be referred to in a certain way just dont push these terms on women who dont want to be called a chest feeder or birthing person but i highly doubt many people correct you when you use the term pregnant person as its a commonly used term to refer to even women that are pregnant
trans men and some intersex men have uteruses and need medical care related to them, and by adopting more inclusive language and practices, health care professionals can better serve these populations who are often overlooked or outright discriminated against within the healthcare industry
and some men have uteruses. transphobes are genuinely so stupid, your blind hatred for trans women makes you forget that we’re not the only trans people in the world. and your hatred for those different than you keeps you from acknowledging the fact that other people still need medical care and deserve respect even if you disagree with their choices
you’re the one lumping intersex people in with women?????? you also clearly don’t know anything about treating mental health disorders. let’s not feign concern for people as an excuse to infantilize them and insult them. not to mention regardless of if you believe trans men’s experiences of themselves, they still need healthcare and your insistence on insulting and infantilizing them is exactly the kind of barrier that keeps them from getting it
because trans men and non-binary people can get pregnant, is this genuinely so hard to understand? OP’s not even policing y’all saying “pregnant women,” they’re saying it’s weird for y’all to intentionally erase pregnant trans people by correcting SOMEONE ELSE’S language. because y’all are snowflake transphobes.
I don’t hate trans people, I just simply find it odd that a male wants to become a female, vice versa. And I never said they didn’t need medical care or deserve human decency of respect. We are all allowed to our beliefs. Just because we are transphobic doesn’t mean they don’t deserve respect.
Spoiler alert… 4 isn’t the main character here. The trans community isn’t the main character here. The idiots like you who are perpetuating lies around redefining terminologies to sheep social agendas meant to divide our country are the main character we’re trying to address. You’re the enablers we wish to stop.
bros out here talking about “dividing the country” while trying to figure out who to exclude from getting access to healthcare while abortion rights are under attack nationwide. trans people are part of the nation too and spending all your time whining about what other people do with their bodies is definitionally being distracted from the bigger picture
They’re a minority of a minority of a minority and people are acting like they’re the most important thing to divide the country over. What happened to not caring and not flaunting the .01% to force weird agendas? Let people get healthcare according to their biology and be done with it.
there are about 3 million americans who self identify as transgender according to census data. that is a significant amount of people. and all of those people are currently being used as a political wedge by people like YOU who think it’s your job to police other people’s lives and bodies, and serving as a scapegoat for the larger systemic problems plaguing americans.
if you want people to get healthcare “according to their biology” that definitionally means trans men and nonbinary people with uterus’s should have access to reproductive healthcare and should be treated with respect. getting mad about people using inclusive language with their trans patients is counter to the idea that those people deserve healthcare. someone’s choices, or mental state does not change they fact they need care from professionals to take care of their body
that’s right it’s not your business so why are you in it? someone saying “pregnant person” is a completely innocuous statement that makes people more comfortable getting healthcare. the part that’s “dividing the nation” and making it “your problem” is when you decide to spend hours of your life whining and crying on the internet about it.
trans people aren’t dividing anything 💀 they simply exist, and we have a lot of language that explicitly excludes them. pointing that out isn’t “dividing people,” YOU’RE dividing people by refusing to acknowledge a large population. also, we live in the US. it’s 1% of the population, or 3.3 million people. people like YOU who refuse to accept reality are the ones dividing the country. don’t pin it on trans people.
You are, though, and you need to quit running your trap about things you don’t understand. The illness is dysphoria, the treatment is transitioning. Not you continuing to spread disinformation and knowingly avoiding educating yourself just because you want to pretend they don’t exist because you never finished grade school science classes.
every major medical association worldwide supports transition as necessary, lifesaving healthcare. even studies trying to disprove its validity just end up showing how it improves lives. other forms of treatment have proven either ineffective or actively damaging to trans people. these are facts & you are either wholly uneducated or a delusional conspiracy theorist lmao
You’ve got the burden of proof here, not me. You can’t prove what you’re saying is true without being a self licking ice cream cone. Of course mentally ill people won’t choose to classify their illness as an illness because they want to be seen and accepted as normal. Some of us would rather get them professional help and medical care and love the human who is broken and hurting in a way that actually heals them vs you enabling mutilation of otherwise healthy parts and ignoring what’s broken.
“you’ve got the burden of proof here” I gave you a source listing dozens of medical associations, and you act like they’re all infested with trans people who’re writing those statements. since you can’t handle the burden of reading, the APA’s statement is below. they represent 190,000 professionals. and here’s another link from them about the harm of conversion therapy. https://www.apa.org/about/policy/resolution-gender-identity.pdf http://www.apa.org/about/policy/orientation-diversity.aspx
Hey, hope your day is going well. I’m a trans woman… there is no world in which I’d be born and not be one. You wake up everyday and exist as a man without thinking about it, I do that as a woman. The reason that people likely think this is a choice or new is that medical intervention has only existed for the past 100 years or so, and I don’t speak for all trans people, but personally if I lived in a world without gender affirming care, that wouldn’t be a world I would live in any longer (1)
Race and gender are much different, but yes both are social constructs. However the body isn’t really dimorphic in race as it is in sex; for trans people there is a complex interplay of hormones that made them the way they are, but race is simply melanocyte production. But people do “change races” if you look at in a certain lens. Take Eminem, most of his friends are African American (AA) and he does culturally AA hobbies and advocacy. Did he change his skin? No… because that’s not the point (2)
There would never be a world I don’t think where Eminem isn’t very culturally African American, the same way there wouldn’t be a world where I’m not trans. The difference is that transness comes with gender dysphoria, meaning that I have brain abnormality that sees my body differently than was assigned to it. The symptoms and current understanding of neurochemistry is that it is similar to body integrity identity disorder, this a group of people who sees their body as much different than the (3)
The current body plan and these people have strong desire to cut off their limbs. Obviously medicine can’t really condone that… this disease is tragic, many people either mutilate themselves or commit suicide as no matter what psychological interventions, the feelings don’t subside. Being trans is different though, it’s not an inherent issue with body plan as much as being also a disorder of sexual development. Current hypothesis is that neonatal hormone exposure pushes the brain towards this(4)
Pathology. But the difference between BIID and gender dysphoria is that we can both treat the underlaying cause (having the wrong sex) and correct the body form without too many lasting complications in procedures that are widely supported across medical bodies. Literally every single major medical association supports gender affirming care (5)
