The benefits of transsexuality as a chronic physical disease - and the harm of it as a social choice
In your own interest, trans folks: By taking transsexuality out of the corner of “disease” and making it an apparent lifestyle decision, as the scene lobby and social activism enforce it since the past few years, they also erase it from the catalogue of medical conditions which health insurance needs or has to assist you with.
Health insurance and what it pays for doesn’t exist for realizing castles in the sky or personal esthetics, it exists to pay for the crap you are or get sick with.
So with it “being no medical condition anymore”, what reason does the insurance have to pay for all the expensive physical modifications, operations and the lifelong hormones you have to take?
Think about it. How many trans folks around the world without a high-paying job would be left alone in their lifelong misery - with no financial support to be made possible for them?
Wouldn’t it be better to invest one’s powers into giving that “disease” its more suitable place? To get it inserted in between all the other intersex conditions which people get born with without asking for it and which they carry no personal blame for?
It’s no sin to be permanently physically sick. How many people throughout the world are with anything else and are in need of meds or medical treatments?
Or is it that you can’t bear the truth that something is broken with your body? Do you fail to pluck up the courage to claim the medical treatment from the medicine sector that you rightfully need and deserve with a physical defect?
Okay, in case you don’t want to hear it: Being trans is forever. Being trans requires lifelong substitution of artificial hormones (if you go all the complete way). Being trans leads to operations, whose scars and impacts you gonna feel on your shell for the rest of your life.
Being trans and being treated medically also may lead to other imbalances in the hormonal balance.
And being trans requires to be under medical surveillance for the rest of your life.
Your whole existence and medical treatment for it is a weighing of “What is the greater and the smaller evil of all options?”.
So, say... what makes it honestly different from a “simple” chronic disease?
You’ve got to treat it like that anyway...
...If you get to make the turn of a “mental disorder” to a chronic physical disease, everyone gets to keep its possibilities to get help from a health system (if one exists in your country). Each poor trans folk can still get its treatment paid if he/she has no money themselves.
And you can also be treated accordingly to your physical features and missing things in a hospital or other institutions where segregation according to sex is common/necessary.
Because it’s noted down in your official health record that you’re chronically sick with a certain diagnosis whose outlines are firmly defined.
Can’t you claim your rights for medical treatment and bureaucratic changes of your official persona way better with that than with the tag “medically insane - too insane to be cured”?
And couldn’t certain stigmata regarding the issue “this mental insanity gets rewarded and assisted - while somebody who thinks he’s Jesus gets sent to a mental hospital until he can think clearly again” be shaken off with that? Huh?
