Trans man don’t have penis ! Impossible 😮

I'm a taxpayer in Canada, where quite a lot of gender affirming care is covered by our healthcare system. As far as I'm concerned, healthcare isn't only for saving lives, it's also for improving quality of life. I'm not only contributing to people's organ transplants and cancer treatments, I'm also contributing to their knee replacements and cataract surgeries. Gender affirming care is life improving (and can be life saving in indirect ways), so as far as I'm concerned, it's healthcare, and I'm happy to contribute to it.

[@kerrynicholls6683]

Absolutely. That’s so great. Really glad Canada isn’t like America. Everyone should be able to get healthcare. Weather they have money or not.

[@c0p.8]

The Canadian system isn’t perfect, but still I will gladly contribute to the improvement of people’s lives!

[@cielvt]

If only you can get a doctor. I'm Canadian, and the last doctor I had told me that my suicidal ideation was a "phase" because perimenopause doesn't exist, and therefore, I couldn't have any more dysphoria than I had previously and if I've been able to cope my entire life (very poorly) I didn't need help. I no longer have a doctor and can't get a new one. I've kind of given up on ever feeling good with myself and in my own skin and try to just get through each day.

[@suchnothing]

@cielvt noooooo im so sorry youre dealing with that. Yeah mental health care in Canada is awful. Unless you have money to go private, your only option is a GP, and they don't know wtf they're doing for mental health. I had a good psychiatrist when I lived in Edmonton, and it was covered under a program at the U of A hospital. But now I'm in Toronto and pretty much all I can do is maintain the progress I've made because my GP doesn't want to refer me to a government covered psych, and I don't have money to go private. My experience has mostly been similar to yours, it's almost impossible to find a doctor who will listen and take time to solve mental health issues. They just give you some excuse for why you don't really need it and move on. It's slowly improving, but while they get their shit together, people like you are left hanging 🥲

[@cielvt]

@suchnothing oh I'm so sorry to hear that too! I'm in ON too, and all we've heard for years is how much better Healthcare is in AB... but... the political climate, not so much. Not that we're doing much better here. I'm basically trying to self treat with supplements to keep the bandaid on. I'm also trying to convince my partner that it wouldn't be a waste of money to save for top surgery and go private for that. I hope you're doing well in the 6ix!

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

11:05 THANK YOU so much for talking about the ACTUAL costs of transitioning, there's been so much fearmongering about how expensive it is, and unfortunately I have seen fears about costs change the choices of people who are considering transitioning. NO ONE should have to think 'can I afford it?' when thinking about necessary and sometimes life saving medical care

[@Giuliana-w1f]

The cost would also deppend on where you live. For me, if i was trans, it would be totally free, and i'd require no more than just informed consent (that is how i think it should be). In the US, i've heard it can be really expensive, and requires "permission" from a therapist.

[@Internetexploder1]

​@@Giuliana-w1fin the state where I live (heavily Republican right-wing state), the model is 'informed consent'. This means that to get HRT, top surgery, or anything except genital reconfiguration surgery, you don't need a therapist involved at all. Having diagnoses can help make sure insurance pays their part of the cost, but it's not required at all. Your endocrinologist or surgeon or whatever, will only need to sit with you and explain what you can expect to happen, what risks are involved, etc., and then you can get your hormones or surgeries or whatever. So it's not like that in all of the US, fortunately. Even some really terrible places allow you to access medical care with very little gatekeeping. On the other hand, the individual cost is much higher here than in some other nations like yours.

[@phoenixfreefall]

I work at a vet hospital. A well-known phenomenon in vet med is pets who do better with women/owners who believe their pet to have been abused based on their response towards men. The transphobic comments that my trans woman coworker gets are wild. A recent client, wearing pride flag accessories, told her she was uncomfortable with her handling her pet (due to pet being better with women) because coworker "is not a complete woman." She went on to say coworker should "work harder to present as more female." It's totally messed up. A guy client yesterday called her "sir," noticed he messed up, muttered about "uh oh, I think 'he's' offended." I talked to the client as he checked out, he technically apologized, but made it clear he barely wanted to refer to my coworker as a human being much less her preferred gender, and emphasized what a hassle "all this woke stuff" is for him. I told him, "it's ok to make mistakes, as long as you learn from them." He looked at me like I slapped him. I'll never get how he justifies all the effort it takes for him to be that relentlessly transphobic, when learning to use a new pronoun is so much less effort. For the record, pets don't care what's in your pants or on your birth certificate. If pets do sense hormones, a trans woman has higher estrogen than most cis women. But from experience, even pets who prefer one gender to another, mostly respond to attitude and demeanor. I've had "women only" pets that do fine with 6 ft+ bearded cis men because they have good body language and emotional awareness.

[@lfr8666]

My parents adopted a dog who was very nervous around my dad at first, probably because of this. But we worked with her, chummed her with treats and fun one-on-one time, and helped her become much more comfortable with tall AMAB people. People can help their pets recover from and deal with trauma. And you're right about relaxed body language and emotional awareness. Unless the dog was actively showing more stress toward your coworker than present AFABs, Ms. Pride Merch was just using her dog as an excuse to be an asshole. I hope your coworker's doing well. Glad you're supporting her. The other client may not become a better person, but he knows people around her will not put up with his shitty behavior, and will hopefully act accordingly. That's important.

[@Acidfrog475]

Even though your final paragraph is both valid morally and most likely scientifically _(I’m saying “most likely” as I’m not a biologist of any sort, and my base urge is to word myself in such a way that I still have “a way out” in case I’m wrong, even though I know a claim is correct),_ I still love “gender euphoric because of homophobic pet” jokes.

I used to be a janitor whose job it was to clean the bathrooms at a grocery store. I guarantee the floor is not sticky because of trans women pissing on the floor. Its sticky because of toddlers pissing on the floor, because of older women who have accidents, and because of women who insist on squatting over the toilet and then refuse to clean up afterward.

[@SakeShinobi97]

Not to mention, it could also just be that the janitor accidentally used too much cleaning solution or the water started getting too dirty.

[@demoncorejunior]

cis women piss all over public bathrooms, it drives me mad because IF EVERYONE SAT ON THE TOILET SEAT THERE COULD NEVER BE PISS ON IT TO NEED TO AVOID SITTING DOWN!!! and don’t get me started on the awful menstrual messes some people leave! i can assure you a trans woman was not the one who left the stall covered in blood with a tampon on the floor!

[@foolsenigma]

@@SakeShinobi97 that absolutely does happen yeah. I sometime had to go back over spots that were already cleaned because of people not using the correct amount of soap per water.

[@J.J.DoeArt]

It is also reversable, but people forget that too. This is coming from an out and proud trans man who was convinced by my mother as a teenager that 'real' trans people are so rare that you would likely never meet one and that nonbinary people are 'just confused'. A combination of being hit like a truck with gender dysphoria, going to my first Pride events and going to college on an art course where basically a third of the people there are queer showed me otherwise. It is preventable and even if it happens can be reversed! Do not give up hope!

[@anastasiae.5338]

We aren't birthing people. We aren't womb owners. We aren't second class citizens that deserve objectionable labels. Stop being hateful to women. That's the basis of your philosophy is that women don't deserve our rights. Idiocy is thinking women need to go back to being slaves to men. That's what the agenda is pushing, that women have no right to our rights or to be safe and comfortable in our own places. It's misogyny. Which is the really stupid thing. The agenda is trying to erase us in any way possible. That's why we fight back. I know we have a lot of nerve caring about our own rights.

Dude, I had no idea what trans even was until I was like... probably 13/14. I had been wanting to be called Jason and hated the idea that I was made to be a girl since I was a little kid. Gender ideology didn't change me- I was trans forever. In fact, being told what being trans was from an early age would have saved me a lot of heartache and self-hatred because I would have realized early as opposed to my late twenties that I was trans and could have accepted myself earlier on as opposed to thinking I was just a really butch lesbian and not fully recognizing myself. People who say they are protecting kids are really just hurting them. We aren't trying to "trans" cis kids, we're trying to save trans kids.

I thought they were way too smouldering and model esc, so I fan-casted a different NB actor and the guy was like 'her!' to all these posts. And then after arguing, I said 'its okay to find them attractive, you dont have to keep calling them woman just because you like them' AND THE PERSON ADMITTED THEY FOUND THE ACTOR ATTRACTIVE!!!! Like my point was made and proved!! Ive never actually been involved with one of these people actually admitting theyer being hateful because of their own mixed feelings and questioning themselves.

[@Liggliluff]

(2:50) I do like that the act is written neutrally. We know it's to protect LGBTQ+, but it also protects straights too, since straight is also a sexual orientation. It does not, as far as I can see, protect atheists, and there's vagueness if it protects cis-people. But this can still be a good thing to highlight, that this act isn't specifically saying homo or bi, but all sexual orientations including hereto/straight. This to show that this isn't for supremacy but for equality.

I learned. I educated myself. And when I educated myself I realized that the whole bathroom bill thing was ridiculous because they were asking people who look like Jamie to use the women's restroom and people who look like Luxeria to use the men's bathroom...

From what I know of the French public healthcare system, it's subsidised rather than free. So presumably trans people in France pay towards their treatment. Also, some of these people act like trans people don't also pay taxes and insurance! About the gender neutral terms rant, why have they even included surrogate? Surrogate isn't even an inherently trans-inclusive term, it's only used for a specific group of pregnant people who are carrying a child for someone else - they are not mothers, because it's not their child. If you are not carrying a child on behalf of someone else, then you are not a surrogate and will never be referred to as one. As a cis woman, I have used gender neutral toilets many times (including ones that were just a standard public toilets with sinks outside the cubicles) and never felt uncomfortable or had any issues. I'd actually prefer it if all toilets were gender neutral, as I've had way more issues with gendered toilets (such as not being able to find the ladies, but finding several men's loos and issues related to having to use separate loos to my partner). I hope that the next government is more trans-friendly and finds something more important to worry about (like improving access to trans-related healthcare, as well as other underfunded services).

The reason there was boys and girls chess was because boys were taught chess earlier and girls weren't. It wasn't lady-like for a girl to be playing a cerebral game like chess. So girls were excluded from playing in a competitive way. Then when they were allowed to play it was only allowed separately because "what if they beat a boy 😲😱. Can't have some upstart girl beating out men who would have placed higher if it weren't for her. And obviously she didn't win because of her skill it was because the boys were distracted by her feminine wiles."

@elaexplorer hot take here but in my honest opinion NO sports need to be gendered! The segregation should be based solely on merits directly relevant to the skill at hand and more importantly on actual performance statistics of the individual in said sport. We are currently segregating based on athletes' supposed potential according to their sex/gender which is what results in unnecessary handicaps and advantages, even without regard to trans inclusion! Eliminating gender from the equation all together and including any trans people who want to compete is actually the SOLUTION to the very thing transphobes are concerned about!!!

While that's not a large sample size, as trying to indoctrinate someone into being a gender they aren't is super unethical so we don't try to do it for purposes of experiments, the fact that in the one case it was tried it failed, and the fact that trans people can often figure out that something is, in some way, wrong, or even that they're specifically trans (even if they don't know the word), even in social situations where they're denied access to information about trans people...

The medical profession is in somewhat of a bind. There is no real guidelines for what is best practise regarding this where minors are concerned.

@@anastasiae.5338 Suicide rates siginificantly drop after transitioning. Well being is significantly better after transitioning. Both according to studies. You're assuming that there is such a thing as an "underlying issue". There is not. There is a mismatch between gender and body and there is what is called "minority stress" aka getting bullied. While the minority stress remains, the constant pain of gender dysphoria is solved through transitioning.

​@@anastasiae.5338 You don't think unaccepting people, discrimination and general negative attitudes towards trans people around them has anything to do with it? Because while transitioning does make life feel SO much better generally, the assholes around you are unfortunately a whole another can of worms you have to deal with once you are openly transitioning. You are right in that transitioning alone does not fix mental health issues and unhealthy coping mechanisms, but they're not an 'underlying issue', they're very often stemming from gender dysphoria, and transitioning makes healing from those things a whole lot easier _with_ help from therapy. Also, have you ever actually been to a good therapist? Affirming someone's gender identity does not, in fact, equate 'agreeing with everything you tell them'.

Not once among the many times I've asked for a citation/source of a questionable 'fact'/statistic has one been provided, just crickets (hopefully that means they did do some research and figured out they'd been misled; I don't ask unless I've done some research myself that indicates their claim is flat-out wrong or lacks any valid evidence to support it).

Nobody will force-feed you hormones or whatever just because you're gender questionning. @Milo-hp9fw best of luck on your journey, whatever form that might take.

That’s good, I just said about myself to someone else and realised I shouldn’t do that since everyone is different. As a tomboy, I would have been in this situation, but I grew out of it. But that doesn’t mean others do. You should do what makes you happy and comfortable. Love ❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺

Exactly, information is not indoctrination. I'm glad you have support❤

Ah... there's something hilarious about the "Go to your ASSIGNED bathrooms! - Okay. - Wait, NO! HELP!".

I'm for abolishment of any gender/sex/whatever split in sports. Just people competing. People of similar physical attributes AND similar skill will end up competing with each other, naturally. The concept of "Women Sports" was born out of necessity, as women (of all kinds) were deemed "unsuitable" to compete in anything, save for maybe poetry and knitting. Like chess - female league was established to give essentially a whole legion of relatively new and unexperienced players a space to be serious about it. But now that any sane person will agree that any person can attempt any sport and it's none of our business, having that split is unneccessary, or even harmful.

For the internal testicle one: I guess that means everyone who is fairly healthy and/or has never had a full abdominal scan (can’t use X-rays) doesn’t know their gender. Because I know despite several doctors appointments and ER visits I have never had an abdominal scan nor a chromosome test so I guess I am the shrodinger gender?

It's actually more complicated than that. A penis and a clitoris are essentially the same tissue, just with developmental differences, and the same is true of ovaries versus testicles. And development can be weird! Emily Quinn (Ted talk here on KZbin) is intersex; as she says in her talk, she has both a vagina and (internal) balls. And despite having XY chromosomes, she is not a man. Being intersex to one extent or another is actually not at all uncommon.

[@rebeccajesse4604]

@@viverra exactly! People think sex (going to ignore gender) is so black and white but that’s only because so few people actually “know” what their sex is because it’s assumed based on external characteristics rather than actual imaging or genetic/chromosomal studies.

The gay erasure by trans people caught me off guard... I remember when someone who I'd got to know as a lesbian woman (in a relationship with a bisexual woman) bravely announced very publicly that he realised he's in fact a trans man and I later jokingly said to him in private "so you're straight after all" and he looked at me in shock and yelled "Oh my god you're right! I've GOT to tell my girlfriend!" I found that very cute, and even though in this case a gay identity might have been "erased" it was still right, semantically. He's a guy, attracted entirely to women. But maybe this just shows that we should abandon all these terms altogether and let people be who they are and love who they love.

"...we should abandon all these terms altogether and let people be who they are and love who they love." That makes too much sense.

[@F_Karnstein]

​@calamityjean1525 I'm glad someone agrees. These things can turn so complicated and there's never anything gained from it. I know a bloke who always considered himself straight because he just never fancied anyone with a penis. But now he's with a trans girl, and though he regards her as a woma, of course, she does still have a penis, so he there were considerations of whether he might rather be called bi or pan (or maybe demi?) before realising he just didn't fucking care as long as they're happy together.

Omg that's so wholesome! Also yes people should just be allowed to love.

I've found that this can actually be touchy in relationships. I know a couple in a traditional hetero marriage, and when the "wife" transitioned, his partner had to adjust to being socially perceived as being in a gay relationship. Luckily, it was not a problem for them. But I also know of a lesbian couple, who after one transitioned, found it distressing to be perceived as straight and sometimes they felt excluded from the lesbian community. We SHOULD "abandon all these terms altogether and let people be who they are and love who they love." But sometimes, rightly or wrongly, gender can define one's sense of membership in a community.
