Do people think women's care only means hysterectomy and radical mastectomy? Does elder care only mean euthanasia? The problem isn't that the term obfuscates particular procedures, because the particular procedures any patient receives are none of your fucking business. It's that it's used to hide assumptions that support demonizing the target group.
There are absolutely biological differences that influence what the standard of care ought to be, but that distinction only matters in policy because bigots and fascists need lines of division so they can restrict target classes from accessing healthcare.
If you want to have a conversation about puberty blockers, you can have that conversation. I think it's a complicated subject. This issue is a problem because you want "trans care" to mean the least credible, most socially objectionable course of treatment for a target class of "less than" citizens you can imagine, whereas others just want healthcare. And whatever care that is is up to the patient and their doctor.
because women's care and elder care don't only mean hysterectomy and radical mastectomy and euthanasia that's the whole point of doing it in that way because you cant really know what is really meant because it involves a lot more. its just more common in does groups of care. trans care means exactly what i said it means and its used to make it sound better you can only dream of wanting to use it in any other way like women's care and elder care.
