“She has suuuuuch LESBIAN energy! She’s so GAY!”

i see a lot of transmedicalists who are against access to HRT through the informed consent model. informed consent is when you are educated by a doctor about what HRT will do to your body and receive a prescription for it without seeing a therapist or being diagnosed with gender dysphoria. i can 100% understand why someone would be against this without knowing about the situation for trans people in the USA. this post is only about the USA. here are some explanations.

not everyone has the transportation to drive hours to a gender therapist since they’re so spread out geographically. i was lucky to have one in my city, but some people might be hundreds of miles away away from the closest gender therapist.

a lot of gender therapists do not take all insurance plans, if they do take your plan there might be a high co-pay (you pay $xx and insurance pays the rest but that $xx is each session), and very few gender therapists take medicaid (insurance plan for the lowest income people, for non-Americans reading this post). private practice therapy tends to be at least $100 per session if not more, and it’s not uncommon for therapy sessions to be $250. my therapist reduced her fee for me, but not all are willing to do that. and i still had to see her like 10 times so the cost was high in the end.

there are plenty of shitty gender therapists who ask invasive and irrelevant questions about your sex life (one i saw asked if i was a virgin, if i masturbated, if i’d ever had an orgasm, and told me i should wait until i’ve had sex to decide to transition. i was around 13 years old at that time.), gatekeep gender non-conforming trans people (i’ve talked to trans women who were told by therapists that they wouldn’t get a letter because they were wearing slacks and had short hair), and/or make everyone go to a set number of sessions for a letter or be in therapy for a certain amount of time - often a year of regular sessions.

some gender therapists don’t follow the updated WPATH guidelines and refuse to give out letters unless you’re getting real life experience working/going to school as your actual gender, even if you can’t pass as cis and so you’re in danger being read as trans by everyone you meet. and if that’s the only gender therapist accessible to you, you either have to stick with them or go do IC. and if IC isn’t available? you’re fucked.

i hope this was enlightening. i myself do not think that IC is ideal.

i think that a universal health care system in the USA and better training of therapists in working with transgender people would be ideal, but that’s not going to happen any time soon.

Look at his clearly defined neck and collarbone. He’s shirtless. Compare to Thomas Jefferson on the US nickel:

or Abraham Lincoln on the penny:

Franklin D Roosevelt on the dime cuts off at his neck, so it’s entirely possible that he’s wearing a shirt but it’s just not showing.
