I'm not sure I understand the term in the CW, transmedicalism?
Transmedicalism is the proposal that trans people are only legitimate if a medical professional says they are. It's saying that being trans is a condition to be treated, not an inherent part of someone's identity.
People like this also tend to say being trans is only valid if HRT and surgery are involved. The reality is someone is trans the moment they declare themselves trans. It's an individual's decision on whether or not they relate to a trans experience, and no medical screening is necessary to authorize them
Ah, thank you comrade, I thought that might be the case but I was very confused. Caffeine hasnt hit yet.
Transmedicalists believe the only people who should transition are those diagnosed with gender dysphoria. They are anti-DIY and believe in a strict binary.
Being anti-diy was always stupid, but it's especially stupid right now for someone in the US/UK to still be grinding that axe as official care is being made illegal or unobtainable. But the people who push anti-diy are insulated, ig.
Thank you, comrade, I appreciate it.
