not uncommon in California. plenty of nonbinary people get surgeries.

Maybe don't speak so confidently on trans issues when you aren't trans! Esp considering the transmed vibe you have given off, inadvertantly or no. Just stop speaking for other people.

And I rewrote the comment in caps not out of anger towards you, but out of a desire for clarity for anyone who reads it. Don't take everything so personally. If you use transmed talking points, even inadvertantly, expect to be called an asshole. Same thing goes if you were to spout any bigoted talking points you didn't understand.

That sounds a lot like you lean more towards the medical side of trans. This is fine on its face but it can often lead to a lot of gatekeeping and such within and outside of the community.

The most common example is to have people only count as trans if they are taking medication and then limiting access to that medication to certain groups, effectively removing the classifier of "trans" from the person.

Judging someones anything purely by a certain standard leans into the No True Scotsman side of things and can damage the community and it's members.

I appreciate that you're willing to learn more on the topic either way. I don't think you're an asshole but basing if someone is trans purely medically is also something assholes do for asshole end goals. It's less about you and more about the company that shares that opinion and the other opinions that company shares amongst themselves.

Okay so like, 1% of nonbinary people don't identify as trans but it's generally accepted considered part of the trans umbrella and it's fucked up to the vast majority of nonbinary people to say they arent trans... esp when there are tons of asshole transmeds trying to say that.

It's not a "different opinion", it's denying people's identities which can lead to people denying trans healthcare. It's a huge asshole take.
