Yes! And in the case of the latter, fully researched, peer reviewed medical interventions. I’m over the moon to see Sweden has stopped PBs except for clinical trials.This is a great point:
It's like how a lot of TRAs are pushing to get gender dysphoria removed from the next version of the DSM so that it would no longer be medicalised. However, that would mean that insurance companies in America could start turning down applications for treatments/surgeries/hormones as it would no longer be considered a medical condition and wouldn't be covered. So now people are trying to work out how to manage to get it out of the DSM but also ensure that insurance companies have to cover it.This is a great point:
I’ve always bought both ‘boys’ and ‘girls’ clothes for my two - boys clothes have more dinosaurs and they love a dinosaur. Basing gender on liking glitter or trucks is regressive. I hope we’ve put it back in the past by the time they grow up.I fucking hate this. We are literally going backwards. I have boy/girl twins, they share all of their toys. My son likes pushing a dolly pram around, my daughter much prefers cars. They're still a boy and a girl. Nursery is a free for all for toys and they can play with whatever the hell they like, they don't know that toys are "gendered" they're toddlers. What happened to stepping away from the idea that girls only like Barbie's and pink and can't like trucks and tractors. My son has blue & pink clothes, my daughter has blue & pink clothes. Simple.
I don't believe a 4 year old child can turn around and say they're the other gender without the parent seriously pushing the idea on them. It's vile.
I think we were well on the way, but the TRA ideology is undoing all that good work.I’ve always bought both ‘boys’ and ‘girls’ clothes for my two - boys clothes have more dinosaurs and they love a dinosaur.

From what I've read it seems like what they get is in perfect parity with all other healthcare (in the UK at least). I think what they mean is they want the right to demand whatever treatment and surgery they like and I'm afraid not a single person in this jurisidiction at least has that 'right'.I think we were well on the way, but the TRA ideology is undoing all that good work.
Regarding the way the universities have responded under duress about language policies, I looked up what cis privilege is and the examples could all be applied to ANYONE if you just applied any modicum of critical thought. The article also mentioned trans people having a lack of "access to basic healthcare" based on their gender identity. Extensive cosmetic surgery and hormone therapy is NOT basic healthcare.
Never needed an eye roll reaction more than in this momentIt is far too early in the day for this kind of nonsense
Transgender people do change their sex - it is discriminatory to say otherwise
Transgender people in the UK can indeed change their sex, both legally and physically.metro.co.uk
But surely by their own definitions of the 'trans umbrella' this isn't entirely true anyway.It is far too early in the day for this kind of nonsense

Totally agree. You can change sex characteristics. You can change your outward appearance. You can take hormones to alter your chemistry and therefore your sex characteristics and appearance. You cannot change your biological sex"Health care for trans people includes hormone replacement therapy and various surgeries that do indeed partly change people’s sex and physical characteristics. As someone who has been taking hormones for over 10 years and has had sex reassignment surgery, my sex and physical characteristics are vastly different to those of cisgender men. We are hugely different physically. My sex characteristics have changed to a large degree, such as hair growth, fat distribution, muscle mass and many other health related factors — and my body is driven by oestrogen and progesterone. While some of my physical traits aren’t the same as of a cisgender woman either, it’s simply not accurate to say my sex characteristics have not changed. There is nuance here, something that the statement ‘sex cannot be changed’ ignores. "
- No one is saying some of your sex characteristics haven't changed. But your sex hasn't. If a woman takes a drug with the side effects provoking excessive hair growth(one of the examples listed), well like you one of her sex characteristics has changed but she hasn't changed sex and neither have you.

Ah but not all women can produce Ova you're saying women who have had hysterectomy aren't women!His sex characteristics may have changed, but it would only be appropriate to say his sex had changed if he was now able to produce ova. I really like this video where Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein (who are evolutionary biologists) outline the difference between sex and gender. Heather is particularly brilliant on this topic.
*women who produce ova or have/had the capacity to produce ovaAh but not all women can produce Ova you're saying women who have had hysterectomy aren't women!
