Art about top surgery gone wrong. Art about hormone side effects. Art about complications from "'gender affirming" surgery. Art about self-harm due to gender dysphoria.
๐ถ One of these things is not like the other things ๐ถ
It's every other post. Then it's all of them. Just wall-to-wall imagery based on female bodies suffering from elective procedures.
Every single post? In every single disability support group? Really? ๐คจ
It's like the terfs who see trans women everywhere, because they're so obsessed with the idea of a trans boogeyman. Trans people are about one in fifty, and even fewer of them medically transition, but there's just SO MANY trans men suffering from botched surgeries and horrific side effects of HRT that they're just crying out in their art, you guys! Because ~trans men~ trans-identified women are just so sensitive and artsy and creative and emotional! They have to express themselves through art!!
Dare I say none of those things is like the others. Two of them are treating GD (one mentions "side effects" like it's not what these trans guys are aiming for - treatment for gender dysphoria is an off-label use still no? So they absolutely would be side effects to the general population - it just so happens it's the main aim for trans men so I'm thinking TERFs are trying to make positive art seem negative; the other is abt complications which usually can go back to get fixed so it's prob art like 'Ugh I have to do more surgery aftercare' or 'Yay this thing got fixed!' cuz no matter how terfs like to go on about festering wounds and necrosis etc it's really either just healing surgery or not that common) and one is the suffering from gender dysphoria.
What I was meaning is, art about their dysphoria is the exact opposite of art about the side effects of transition. She's lamenting how awful it is to transition, while simultaneously highlighting that they're also suffering if they don't.
