    its not cosmetic, its reconstructive. i dont give a fuck what some fascistic cis people think is ‘cosmetic’ or not, the term is mostly just used by insurance companies and governments to weasel out of paying out to medically necessary interventions.

    why the fuck are you in this comm? leave.

      I am happy to be corrected about whether specific surgeries are considered cosmetic or not but I do not, as a rule, take the comments of random people on the internet as gospel.

      what some fascistic cis people

      Do you have something against the Mayo clinic?

      Not that I need to explain to you but I commented because I saw a misguided comment and was hoping to have an open discussion about how healthcare should always be available to those who need it.

      I’ll be here all week. :)

      I’m a trans commie and think dysphoria is generally cosmetic, and think its fucked both teeth and ffs aren’t covered.

      But I guess I just don’t like punching down

        It is fucked that both teeth and ffs are arbitrarily gate kept in order to balance the books in a deeply disfunctuonal healthcare system. It should obviously all be free at the point of care. And the only reason it isn’t is to deny care to poor people.

        What’s obnoxious are the cises showing up (in other comments) to be like " um actually if you look up the medical authorities in the fascist country America people say it’s cosmetic". 🤓

          Yeah I agree with that, and people need their argument dopamine hit so things are gonna by defualt get unruly pretty quick.

          I think the only thing I disagree with is making it too much of an us vs them situation, as hard as that is when it feels like they’re doing the same, but hey maybe I was just born out of hippie times and am feeling the pain lmao - they had some shit going on when they disagreed with labels being overly general in my opinion

            I agree, some people are just argumentative, there’s a time and a place.

            I take the criticism about making this too us vs them, but part of the reason for the reaction was not about dividing people but pushing back on bad behavior. Anyone who views themselves as a cis ‘ally’ who finds themselves in the situation of trying to ‘prove their point’ to a bunch of trans people in a trans space really needs to self-crit and step back.
