    I understand that and agree, but in the case of many trans people, they go after medical procedures that go beyond plastic surgery. So I don’t think it’s perfectly comparable with being gay

      I think there is confusion about what transmedicalism encompasses and what it does not.

      Transmedicalism is the view that the mental state of transgenderism is caused by “gender dysphoria” a mental illness.

      Gender affirming care does not require transmedicalism, and in fact many transmedicalists are against gender affirming care.

        Heard a comedian say the other day that hair implants is a form of gender affirming care for cis guys :)
