If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls. One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.

Yeah, the trans person, talking about first hand experiences navigating this exact topic is the one who doesn't get it...
No offence but comments like this are only harmful to our community, and I know saying this might not change your mind on anything, but I'd feel wrong if I didn't ask.
Don't try to speak for all of us, I know many of us have been treated horribly for years simply because who we are, and as fucked as that is it doesn't make it ok to put your trauma above others, in a way that may be affected by your personal bias.
The queer community has always been about outsiders, arguably even more so than simply about sex or gender, and in that vein I couldnt go to bed comfortably if I could gaurentee ffs to some of our sisters while leaving millions in constant physical pain, just like I feel looking in the mirror every day.
This is class warfare, not bum fights in an alleyway - cause we all know the upper class has rock solid solidarity, and we don't stand a chance until we do as well.
Transition surgery is healthcare, not cosmetic. That's all I said.
This idea that trans healthcare trumps other healthcare needs is something the person I was talking to said, not something I said
I see, sorry to have read your intentions wrong and I agree with you.
Mostly I just wish Ontario would get its head out of its 1%'s ass and give us healthcare instead of this freenium bullshit
