      Yes, you're anti-trans and you rationalize it as compassion, we know

      The incredibly shitty thing about this is that she's on the side of people in favor of transmed gatekeeping Like shit if you're actually that concerned about the side effects of GRS maybe help us try to take down laws requiring GRS for social transition

      Has it occurred to you that "gatekeeping" may be in the interest of the patient? Or are you in favor of throwing open the whole Rx medicine cabinet and letting everyone diagnose, self-prescribe and dose themselves via the internet? Do you think medicine is only helpful?

      Right now the system is biased incredibly strongly against trusting the patient and in favor of doctors being little tinpot tyrants over people in their care and I'd like to see a little more balance

      Especially when dealing with populations that, like trans people, we know have been systematically denigrated and infantilized over the years by medical professionals who let moralizing color their mindset Easing off on policing psych meds as controlled substances would be nice

      So a better solution would be for people with mental health challenges and no education to diagnose, prescribe, and treat themselves. Sounds like a Crackerjack plan. What could go wrong?

      If you're affluent, white, otherwise privileged, and generally good at talking to physicians, most of psychiatry is "try this and see if it helps", where their choice of thing to try is rarely a surprise for any patient capable of minimal internet research.

      A lot of people's shitty rhetoric about medical gatekeeping comes from a total lack of firsthand experience with it as a patient and it really really shows

      It's really bizarre to be seeing "radical feminists" caping for the white coats this hard Seriously and unironically, I'm so old I remember when male ob/gyns being stingy with the epidurals during childbirth was cited as an obvious example of patriarchy at work

      As were the endless checklists you had to go through to get a tubal ligation, or a hysterectomy as treatment for endometriosis ("Are you SURE you're done having kids? What does your husband say about it?") But I guess now it's evil to question doctors' motives and competence

          Lena Dunham had to write this 2000 word creative essay to explain to everyone she was of sound mind and understood the gravity of her decision while she was in such overwhelming endometrial pain she couldn't stand up

          Only when they're denying people care. When they're providing it they're still evil patriarchs.

          Fastest way to a hysterectomy: start testosterone at age 10. Go to CHLA, they do that there. After 5 years of testosterone, a hysterectomy is generally required, due to painful muscle spasms and in light of increasing cancer risk.
