      Being able to access my medicine is absolutely at the forefront of my mind, thanks for letting me know I’m not helping.

          “How does chemotherapy help anyone but the cancer patient?”

              If a group of politicians were trying to take away access to chemo specifically then I assure you people would advocate specifically for access to chemo.

              It doesn’t have to, you fucking nitwit. Chemotherapy is for the benefit of the cancer patient.

              And guess what? Everyone benefits from living in a society where everyone is able to access the medical care that they need.

              Only someone truly insane, out-of-touch, malicious, misanthropic, cynical, selfish, and short-sighted would ever ask a question like “But how do I or anyone else benefit from you receiving medical treatment?”

                  Wow you’re so progressive for asking trans people to martyr themselves for the greater good /s. Would you call the LGBT community selfish for rejecting a Democrat who was willing to sacrifice gay marriage too or is this a unique view on trans rights for you?

                    Not at all. Just reprioritize to focus on the fires that threaten everything, including trans acceptance and support. Anyone who focuses on lesser, personal threats, is themselves, a hazard to everyone else, and to themselves.

          What do think happens to an out group with a fascist government? Maybe take a trip to the Holocaust museum to find out.

      If the fact that some people have their rights stripped from them for spurious reasons is not urgent, then your entire perspective is irrelevant.

              But if you decide trans people don’t qualify as human, their rights don’t matter anymore. If that becomes acceptable, all anyone has to do to deny you of your own human rights is to decide you are some lesser life form without legal protections.

      Existential threats kind of supercede anything else honestly. Just because the Republicans happen to be doing absolutely everything evil and destructive possible across the board, that doesn’t mean any of the individual issues are less severe.

        Not getting a specific trans right isn’t an existential threat and it is relatively less severe than the emergence of a technofacist surveillance state and the re-enslavement of humanity, imo.

      Transwomen are women, and I will not have my womanhood robbed from me.

        And trans men are men, and I won’t have my manhood robbed from me because I’m not scared of people existing
