i dont wanna sound like im on the far left but if your solution to “transitionning is ridiculously expensive” is “lets stigmatize being trans to shit so the healthcare people pay for hrt” and not “lets stop the exploitation of marginalized groups for profit” i dont fuck w you
like, i know i already got insulted for saying that all transmedicalists are centrists but i really dont get how you can be pro a stateless classless moneyless society without being pro trans liberation, anti medicalization of trans lives, etc or at least recognizing basic patterns of transphobia found in the mainstream (”trans is suffering/hating yourself”) and in other reactonnaries groups (”trans people are faking it for not experiencing their gender the way i do/looking the way i think they should”). its not that hard to see that putting the medical field as our only way to know who is “faking it” is giving some people more power than they should have.
in the end this way of framing trans liberation as something that can be achieved via the current systems in place is completely oblivous to the economic level of trans oppression, and oppressions in general. yes poor trans people have huge difficulties accessing transition and that kills us but trans people are being deliberately kept in poverty not for their dysphoria, but for their inherent inabilty to conform to sociatal gender norms. if you dont see how being trans cannot only be about dysphoria, youre just as blind as the terf who doesnt see how being a woman cannot only be about having a vagina.
Anonymous: Terfs have quite literally aligned themselves with fascists before. When the revolution comes they should be treated accordingly.
