  • Says the person claiming that treating endocrine disorders is gender affirming care…

    You’re objectively wrong. Your own sources confirm it, but you keep trying to extrapolate it to mean something it doesn’t.

    Gender affirming care is not an umbrella term. For example, I’m not on testosterone because my low T makes me feel like a woman. I’m on it because my low T causes extreme fatigue. It has nothing to do with my gender identity.

    I wouldn’t get my gynecomastia fixed because it makes me feel like less of a man. I’d get it fixed because it raises my risk of breast cancer.

    The reason for the treatment is crucial to whether it’s gender affirming or not.





  • You left off “and their assigned sex”. That bit is important.

    Gender dysphoria is the psychological distress caused by gender incongruence, which is what gender affirming care treats.

    At no point does the article suggest that all care related to gender is gender affirming.

    It’s like saying removing a glioblastoma is mental health care. It has to do with the brain, but the treatment isn’t for mental health purposes. The reason for the treatment is important.
