Friendly reminder
Being trans is a medical condition. Demedicalizing it will make trans suicide rates even higher due to people not being able to afford transitioning. Don't believe me? Testosterone/estrogen without insurance can cost $200/$300 per vial and a vial lasts about a month. That's $2,400/$3,600 per year for HRT alone! Top and bottom surgeries will cost an unimaginable amount without insurance. I've known it to cost people who's insurance won't cover around $9,000/$15,000 possibly even more! Trans people need to transition to treat dysphoria. Dysphoria left untreated increases suicide risks. So if you believe in demedicalization, stop it!
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
