Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

I've been in treatment for gender dysphoria for three years. I've gotten no pressure to medically, socially, or legally transition. In fact, my care team has been extremely supportive of my extremely slow and careful process of disclosing my gender identity to supportive friends.

My real-world trans community supports the full range of identity and expression, including non-transitioning trans people and destransitioned people who ID as gender-nonconforming. It's not, "Go trans! It'll be great!" It's "OMG, this kid at school felt me up through my binder because he wanted to see what it felt like," and "My mother dumped a fuckton of transphobic text messages just before the holidays, how do I deal with this?"

In my city, there are two providers who advertise prescription services for trans clients. One woman goes to her VA caseworker, who lives an hour away in the next state. None of the people who have had confirmation surgeries have done so in-state, (there might be a provider upstate, I don't know). HRT and blockers require a referral to get the prescription, a referral to get insurance, and a commitment to maintenance checkups.

If you think young people are fast-tracked from liking yaoi to trying to look like Janet Mock, you really don't have a clue as to how this really works.

I know of someone who went through less than six months of counseling and had a double masectomy and hormones.

Normal insurance. Maybe some state laws apply about what's covered, I don't know.

20% trans people are refused medical care outright. 28% don't seek medical care treatment due bad experiences. 28% have experienced harassment in health care. 50% have had to teach care providers about trans issues. Fewer than 50% have had surgery.

Those numbers are for basic medical care. Trans people I know, more than one, have had trouble finding a health care provider for flu season. I am not out to my primary, because her practice is part of a Catholic network.

I mean, every system can be gamed by someone willing to work it hard enough. But is that typical? Is that standard practice among the health care professionals? Is it something that's actually recommended by most of the trans community? No, no, and no in my experience, and the stats on anti-trans health care discrimination back me up there.
