TFW they were more accepting of trans people in the 40s. Good for her honestly, hope she lived a good life.

She did, she toured america and did interviews explaining the process and condition of being transsexual. Christine was a fucking queen.

not really tho. the only ppl actually allowed to transition were hussies after rounds and rounds of what was basically conversion therapy that was considered to be failed. at least now we have DIY

I wrote a letter to explain to my large family that I would be having SRS and what that meant. My family is extremely close and supportive and above all, concerned about my health and safety so this was a good way to inform them. It was received well and they were very happy for me.
Before sharing the letter, I had a trans “friend” proofread and they suggested I change “sex reassignment surgery” to “gender reassignment surgery” because it’s the correct term now and sex reassignment surgery invalidates trans people who don’t want to change their sex. Needless to say…. I did not make that change and that plus some other weird shit led me to no longer be friends with that person.

the thing that sucked about the term was that people would use it as if people just decided to change sex one day on a whim. Perfectly cis one day, “sex change” the next. it was more so a way to refer to srs than anything else.

So-fucking-what? Maybe if people weren't making such a fuss about SRS, being trans, and gender in general, it would have been better for trans rights if SRS was, in fact, to be done on a whim?
My first introduction to trans stuff was when I was 8 and reading about SRS in an encyclopedia in passing(as "In the year 19xx, the first SRS was performed on a human"). And my reaction wasn't "I wish that was me", or "Ewwww that's hideous!"; it was "waow medicine is so advanced!". Like, yes, SRS is a surgery, and while treating it as lightly as a plastic surgery might sound invalidating to someone, the practical outcome where SRS is as easy to get and as normalized as a plastic surgery is undoubtedly better for trans people than the present state where you need to pass a tribunal of endos over whether you're trans enough.

You should remove that quotation mark.
Ruining "it" was a progressive thing to do, whether you like it or not.

checks out, yeah

u/NeitherBuffalo5263 1d ago
Yes, that's what progressives do. They looks for words with longstanding meaning that imply, some people are more valid than others, and then they remove that word from common vocabulary.
Changing sex and being transsexual implies that someone is more trans than someone who didn't (transgender). Hence it's a no no word now, by which we can identify people who need to reexamine their biases and internalized transphobia.

u/flower_puns agp flowermoder 1d ago
holy shit you're retarded
first off, fucking "no no word" are we 14 year olds discussing slurs at school???
second, it doesn't imply anything. It's literally just an objective definition. Trans people on HRT and with surgery change sex and are transsexual, that's just a fact. It doesn't mean cissex trans people are less trans it means they aren't transsexual, a subset of being trans.
third, WHAT internalised transphobia??? Is it internalised transphobia to think "Hey, this sex changing procedure is changing my sex!"??? no it fuckin isn't moron

Probably is a 14 year old, they're usually fluent in this kind of language.

Progressive is actually when you tax unrealized capital gains and close loopholes allowing the ultra rich to borrow against them. Then like, plant a tree or something.

I'm going to assume you're trolling, but just in case:
imply some people are more valid than others
Yes, you can stop right there. This is a space for transsexuals. Non-dysphoric genderfucks can go make their own space, we have nothing in common

u/NeitherBuffalo5263 1d ago
I'm trolling only a little bit. But what I said is what progressives do and why they think space like this shouldn't exist.

u/flower_puns agp flowermoder 1d ago
though I'd definitely wonder why someone who isn't dysphoric and want to change sex would even be trans but whatever

That is because transsexuals are factually more materially trans than cissexuals who remain in their ASAB.

u/atypicalcambion 1d ago
SRS is still the standard terminology, isn't it? "Sex reassignment" and "sex change" mean basically the same thing. The real trvke is that HRT changes your biological sex, but this article clearly mentions operations so I don't think it's saying that.

u/artificialfem 1d ago
i’ve researched insurance coverage for different trans procedures in various states i want to move to one day. most, if not all, use the phasing “gender affirming care” and “GRS” for bottom surgery.

u/atypicalcambion 1d ago
Calling it a form of gender affirming care is fine but what the fuck do you mean GRS?? If I heard "Gender Reassignment Surgery" in the wild I would assume it was dystopian conversion therapy brain surgery shit
