A type 1 diabetic with ruined teeth would likely disagree with you on priorities.
Having a mouth full of rotting teeth is painful, unattractive and can cause severe distress and social isolation, even depression.
It can also contribute to other severe medical problems such as a massively increased risk of heart attack.
You are putting your own struggles first and foremost while dismissing the pain and sufferring of others.
I am saying neither people with dental problems or trans people should be denied healthcare, you are saying
my problems are more important so only my problems should be dealt with
I am disagreeing with your argument because it dismisses a genuine and serious form of medical care that should be afforded to all who need it.
Trans surgeries are not “cosmetic”.
The Mayo clinic, which is a respected source, disagrees with you on at least one of the surgeries being sought.
Speaking as a trans person,
Your experience is valid.
access to trans healthcare is far more important to me than dental healthcare.
And you shouldn’t dismiss the experiences and needs of others.
how many brain cells do you have? 2? 3? she said her partner has fucked teeth. they consider FFS more important. does that mean they dont want their fucked teeth fixed? NO. jesus fuck, get out of here you cis garbage
I am not going to debate shit with cis in the transgender comm.
Universal classifications of procedures are a tool for denying care inside a fucked up healthcare system, we all agree that our healthcare system is fucked. Nobody is saying that dental care shouldn’t also be a priority and it’s insulting having cis dumbasses roll up to try to be like "um aktually I’m simply citing sources at you "
Since you’re citing a US source, the medical system here is set up by insurance companies to deny care by classifying things as requiring specific diagnosis and all that does is restrict access to everyone and artificially drive up costs to benefit the profiteers. It’s also often structured to be incredibly harmful to poor people who need the care that’s being denied.

That’s my partner. Her teeth are absolutely on the list, but transition care is above it.
…and you still think dental shouldn’t be covered?
What aren’t you grasping about both of these things beeing freely available as the best option?

There are degrees of damage, but that’s not the point.
Like I said; it was an argument they shouldn’t have made because it is fundamentally flawed.
Just because people have hurt you does not mean you need to lash out like this. It does you no favours, and you should do better.
Again, with allies like these who needs enemies.
fuck off. youre in a trans space as a cis person. you shouldnt be here.
Love getting shit gate kept by fucking assholes, eat my entire ass
Healthcare is only rationed out out the way that it is because profiteering middle men make money by denying care
Citing a reputable source regarding the classification of a surgical procedure isn’t gatekeeping.
