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.

It is fucked that both teeth and ffs are arbitrarily gate kept in order to balance the books in a deeply disfunctuonal healthcare system. It should obviously all be free at the point of care. And the only reason it isn't is to deny care to poor people.
What's obnoxious are the cises showing up (in other comments) to be like " um actually if you look up the medical authorities in the fascist country America people say it's cosmetic". ๐ค
Would you be willing to help mod this comm?
Mad respect you came to a thread as controversial as this to look for mods
It's no probs, there's a lot of trans ppl being downvoted in here for their 100% correct takes, so ppl speaking out of turn are getting lots of reports.
Yeah especially in a trans community of feels at best... Icky
Absolutely.
Done, thanks.
I will do my best! Thank you!
Yeah I agree with that, and people need their argument dopamine hit so things are gonna by defualt get unruly pretty quick.
I think the only thing I disagree with is making it too much of an us vs them situation, as hard as that is when it feels like they're doing the same, but hey maybe I was just born out of hippie times and am feeling the pain lmao - they had some shit going on when they disagreed with labels being overly general in my opinion
I agree, some people are just argumentative, there's a time and a place.
I take the criticism about making this too us vs them, but part of the reason for the reaction was not about dividing people but pushing back on bad behavior. Anyone who views themselves as a cis 'ally' who finds themselves in the situation of trying to 'prove their point' to a bunch of trans people in a trans space really needs to self-crit and step back.
