97% of gender affirming surgeries performed on minors since 2019 were for removing excess breast tissue from cisgender boys!

As well as “physical healthcare is mental healthcare”.

While I do agree that gender affirming care should be covered by public healthcare, I wouldn’t consider it basic healthcare

Can we please focus on the healthcare part of the equation and stop trying to force trans issues into the discussion? We are in a rare moment of agreement where everyone is talking about the fact that healthcare in this country sucks and this kind of thing is going to draw Republicans back into that culture war bullshit and waste the only real momentum I’ve seen on this issue since Obama’s first term. Yes it is unfair that it needs to be framed that way but you also know how annoyingly focused on trans people conservatives are. Working to change the narrative around private insurance is the most impactful way to help trans people at this moment in history. There’s too many fuckwads in this country to make that argument directly so take a page out of the Republican playbook and keep your intentions to yourself until the battle is won.
