Transition doesn't "create" trans people

It creates a condition that requires constant medical intervention.

By that logic, no person should ever get given prednisone or dexamethasone because it can cause Type 2 diabetes. That'd make treatment for leukaemia or solid tumours an absolute shitter, not to mention all the other conditions people take steroids for.

So you're against any kind of hormonal birth control too then? By your definition that's also a "constant medical intervention".

We don’t induce fertility in order to prescribe contraception.

You keep trying to say that transitioning is what makes people trans. Nope, what the transition does is alleviate symptoms of gender incongruity. Because people were already trans prior to transition because their current phenotype did not match their internal sense of self.

And no matter how much you try and claim it's the transitioning that makes people trans, that isn't actually the case. Because if it was, gender affirming care and social transition would not have the impact that the EBR says it does.

Additionally, you didn't answer my question. So, by your own argument, because it is a "constant medical intervention" you are against hormonal birth control. Yes/No?

I thought my answer to that was obvious from the tweet above. No, I am not against birth control, any more than I am against insulin. We do not induce fertility or diabetes in order to create a market for drugs. Those conditions pre-exist the treatment for them.

So, let me put it more simply for you - hormone birth control, which includes HRT, was "created" so people could avoid becoming pregnant. So, the "market" you are talking about here has nothing to do with trans people. Again, are you against hormone birth control?

The "market" for HRT goes back longer than the Pill, it started as a way to address the symptoms of menopause, but I guess that's also "altering the healthy function of a sexed body"

Exactly. But the logic being demonstrated here, the availability of HRT is what makes people go into menopause.

How is that the “logic” of the argument? It’s the same with contraception and diabetes; there’s a difference between treating a condition that already exists and creating a condition in order to medicate it. If biology doesn’t determine sex why attempt to alter people’s biology?
