    I get what everyone is saying, but if we’re being totally honest their issue is with gender affirming care is when it’s used for the opposite gender they want to force you to maintain.

    Male affirm male ok. Female affirm female ok. Male affirm female… AHHHHHHH!!! BE AFRAID!!!

    Either way we’re all correct in calling them assholes that should stay the fuck out of our pursuit of happiness.

      I literally heard an interview with a trans person who talked about how everyone who feels that they want to exert some effort to adjust their appearance to affirm the gender they feel is correct for them is trans. It doesn’t matter what the starting or ending point is, if you make decisions to enhance your gender expression in any way, then you’re engaging in trans behavior, and I think it’s a great point.

        I mean that’s just completely incorrect though. The sentiment might be coming from a good place but it doesn’t work that way.

    Male pattern baldness is a male/masculine trait. Working against that is not gender affirming.

      It’s a sign of too much testosterone being converted to dht and having genes that sensitize the hair on your head to it so that they fall out, which primarily happens with age and stress.

      Gender affirming care.
