I am not going to debate shit with cis in the transgender comm.

Universal classifications of procedures are a tool for denying care inside a fucked up healthcare system, we all agree that our healthcare system is fucked. Nobody is saying that dental care shouldn't also be a priority and it's insulting having cis dumbasses roll up to try to be like "um aktually I'm simply citing sources at you "

Since you're citing a US source, the medical system here is set up by insurance companies to deny care by classifying things as requiring specific diagnosis and all that does is restrict access to everyone and artificially drive up costs to benefit the profiteers. It's also often structured to be incredibly harmful to poor people who need the care that's being denied.
