homophobic baker: ok! congratulations on getting married

a man and a woman: ok but will u still want to make our cake when we tell u that we didnt feel any urge to have sex with each other until we knew each other extremely well? pretty queer right

You’re right! Being LGBT means being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. There cannot be a competition simply because LGBT people are oppressed and aces are not.

The Endocrine Society, an international organization of medical experts and biological researchers, has released a new set of guidelines for caring for transgender patients. Along with the guidelines, the organization has issued a position statement calling on federal and private insurers to cover the costs of all medical interventions a physician might prescribe for a transgender patient, including hormone replacement therapies and surgeries.

The updated guidelines and position statement reflect the latest research on gender identity and the shift away from understanding gender dysphoria as a mental illness. “Considerable scientific evidence has emerged demonstrating a durable biological element underlying gender identity,” the statement reads. “Individuals may make choices due to other factors in their lives, but there do not seem to be external forces that genuinely cause individuals to change gender identity.”

I’m sorry to inform many in tumblr’s “trans” community, but being trans is not a choice. It’s not something you are because you don’t fit the ‘50s stereotyped gender roles. Being trans is biological. This kind of research has been around for decades. It was nascent when I transitioned back in ‘77. Between then and ‘84, I participated in several studies towards the discovery that being trans was something biological and something that someone’s either born with or happens so early in childhood development that it’s indistinguishable from born with. 

Trans is a medical condition. As such it should be covered by ALL insurance companies as well as state insurers. Saying it’s a choice is simply scientifically wrong. And saying it’s a choice allows the insurance industry to paint life-saving transition treatments as ‘cosmetic’ and ‘not medically necessary’. In short, the tumblr trans-trender community is actively hurting actual trans people. 

Being a transmedicalist is not transphobic or anti-trans nor does it make you ‘scum’ (as in the epithet ‘truscum’.) Transmedicalism is backed by science and has been backed by science for over 40 years. If you’re super offended by those facts, then perhaps you need to examine why you think you’re trans. Because believe me, all the trans people I’ve met in real life in the past 40 years, anyone off of tumblr or away from ‘queer studies’ brainwashed ivory tower crap, WANTED and NEEDED medical transition. I have met 100s of trans people in my life. Many had reasons they couldn’t transition. ALL of them WANTED to transition. Those who didn’t learned within the year of diagnostic treatment, that they weren’t trans. 

Trans people tend to take great comfort in knowing that this wasn’t something they chose or a psychological ‘problem’. Knowing that it was part of their biology. Because trans people don’t want to be trans. We wish we were born cis of the right gender that matches our brains. Trans women wish they were born cis women and will do everything they can to approach that approximation. Trans men wish they were born men and will do everything they can to approach that approximation.

minecraft is a fucking game i dont understand why yall aint want ppl who simply disagree w you to fuck off from a VIDEOGAME

can you let us enjoy ANYTHING??

and yes air is only for people that don’t support a wildly transphobic movement, because - shocker - being a minority doesn’t absolve your of intake of harmful things when you realize you are that minority. lol

& gosh thanks i rlly appreciate that you only want ppl who agree w you to be happy.

“if youre not w me, youre against me” is the whole ideology of all tucutes. yall wont let anyone who disagrees w you be happy bc yall only give a shit when it benefits you.

wanting being trans to be recognized as a valid medical condition and transition as the necessary treatment by society as a whole is not transphobic. wanting trans people to be seen as valid and to be able to afford transition is the polar opposite of transphobic, in fact!

Non dysphorics are not allowed to play Minecraft unless they say they’re cis

People are allowed to be picky. People are allowed to like one type of food but not another. Sometimes people can’t eat something because they’re allergic, or the taste, texture or smell bothers them, and that’s one hundred percent fine! Even if they don’t want to try your food for some sort of “childish” reason leave them the fuck alone!

I’m not just talking about Boomers. My original diagnoses where from ~’88, Asperger syndrome wasn’t in the DSM until 1994.
