Rogaine and Viagra are gender affirming care older men do constantly. People allow their daughter’s breast augmentation surgery before they’re finished developing. Gender affirming care bans exempt coercive surgeries on intersex infants.
The first level of gender affirming care is just LISTENING AND CALLING US OUR PRONOUNS WITHOUT ARGUMENT AND Y’ALL ARE FAILING THAT!
FUCK
I like how RuPaul says it:
“You’re born naked and everything else is drag”
Transgender =/= Drag
Freshly extracted I was still transgender.
Cis allies: “I’m gonna say something invalidating like it’s a positive thing! And fuck you if you try to educate me!”
It’s honestly one of my biggest pet peeves when any form of pride is watered down to just drag shows. A lot of people genuinely can’t tell the difference between drag and trans.
To vent for a sec, I’m a trans circus performer, I’ve never written a drag act, yet I frequently get called a drag artist because I’m trans on stage
Absolutely vent, even rant a bit if you have the need 🫂
That tracks with my experiences, the details like somehow cis people are better about gendering drag artists correctly than transgender audience members or how people just assume I like drag. I believe most of them think we’re some kind of kayfabe drag artists.
We need more queer spaces without tourists.
For Rogaine, don’t all genders like hair? Is it seen as less manly to be bald?
I guess it’s probably the latter, but it just seems gender neutral to me.
I’m also confused as to how Rogaine is gender-affirming for men. Most manly thing you can be is balding because that means high testosterone.
Which is not to say I don’t think cis people can get gender-affirming care. I just don’t see how having hair affirms being male. Maybe if you used Rogaine to grow chest hair?

Please enjoy educating yourself with this thread.
TLDR, only the bad kind of gender affirming care is socially accepted.
True, though I do wish that the spontaneous penile-inadequacy-syndrome support group that regularly meet on my street at all hours of the day didn’t have their gender-affirming motorbikes.
I typically refer to those vehicles as compensators
If the word “motorbike” didn’t exist and a name was needed for them, they’d probably be called thundercocks
Gender affirming care.
Yeah I’m not sure what OP’s trying to say. I should buy a gigantic truck? I don’t want one despite my gender.
And, it’s an excuse to point out how incompetent and unrational autistic/ADHD people are by denying us the care on the pretense of us being too stupid to decide for ourselves.
It’s pretty common all over the world.
Its your life.
