you’ve got to wonder about some of the conversations between the ER actual medical professionals, and the retard hacks who are clogging up their workloads maiming people and giving them horrendous advice- especially when they find out this guy was basically told to chill for a few days with this abomination going on.
From reading between the lines of trans people's descriptions of their medical care: I think medical professionals who have experience of troon patients come to think of them (consciously or unconsciously) as a demographic that a) is going to present with all kinds of weird and horrifying medical problems, and b) did it to themselves, at least on some level. Which in practical terms probably translates to “do what it takes to get them stabilized so it becomes the surgeon’s problem again, and I can go and have lunch.”
I reiterate: women are idiots.
"I saw another woman get raped and I realised how weak and powerless we are in comparison to men. - Hollywood movies lied! I couldn't deal with reality, so I decided I needed to be a man." - Gabriel Mac, probably.
No negative words about the men who set the whole thing off by raping a woman so brutally she needed reconstructive surgery; it’s just the women who trigger you. Very smart and sensible.
"I am nonbinary and not a binary man is because I a.) did not wish to be a man and b.) hated the toxicity, heavy expectation & responsibility, and loneliness that comes with being a man. Yet being a woman sucks, because a.) I hate being in this body, and b.) it makes me cringe whenever I'm associated with anything feminine."
Facing up to the fact that your disgust at the feminine is due to internalized misogyny seems difficult, but the difficulty is temporary, and it will cost you 1/1000th the mental energy that pretending you are "non-binary" will. Look into the ideas behind Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and how much harder and more mentally tiring it is to run away from reality and difficult feelings compared to facing them. Unfortunately you might have to get a workbook and do therapy on yourself because most actual therapists are so afraid of career backlash that they won't be honest with transgender patients.
Being a woman sucks, but declaring yourself 'non-binary' doesn't take you out of the woman category. A lot of people within particular social classes in the USA have decided to pretend it does, but (being from one of those classes myself) I can assure you that "nonbinary" women are still seen as women. You can tell just from the way they are treated. Even the extreme follower types who have brainwashed themselves into never consciously thinking of them as women and never slipping up on pronouns and who would still insist under torture that "nonbinary folx are nonbinary!"? Even they still unconsciously see you as a woman and will always treat you accordingly.
Again, I am speaking from direct observation. Put an "AFAB" (that term is wildly inaccurate but I am sure you know that) and an AMAB in a room and see who gets talked over regardless of "identity". Have an "AFAB" accuse an "AMAB" of harassment or sexual assault and see who their "progressive" group sides with.
There is no Get Out Of Misogyny Free card that you receive when you cut your hair and put on a pronoun badge; all you're doing is keeping the oppression you already had, and also making most normal people avoid you because they associate they/them types with instability and drama and because they are tired of having to pander to the 'not like other girls' shit they are constantly bringing up.
Also, go have a deeper look into the workings of the human body and then consider what putting a deep layer of scarring across the front of your chest is going to do to you. Post-mastectomy patients have long-term pain severity comparable to patients who have had entire limbs amputated:
Reports show that 40 to 60 percent of mastectomy patients suffer from pain lasting longer than three months following their surgery.This pain is often due to nerves injured during surgery. Medications can help with pain, but the relief is often not enough, and opioid dependency can result. Nerve...

"
When breast tissue is surgically removed from the chest, sensory nerves traveling through these tissues are transected, stretched, or caught up in scar during the healing process. These nerve injuries can lead to chronic pain due to the development of what are known as end neuromas, neuromas-in-continuity, and scar compression. Altered sensation,
including "pins and needles", shock-like, burning, or stabbing pain can provide evidence of nerve injury as a cause for the pain. Local anesthetic nerve blocks can confirm that the chronic pain is coming from the injured nerve(s)."
You'll still be a woman, just a woman with amputated breasts and scar tissue squeezing her nerves like tiny transphobic anacondas. Good luck with that, I suppose.
Yeah me too except I never bought into the trans bullshit. I'm pretty sure what's really going on with us is that we've been cursed with the knowledge that we're in a world that ruthlessly tries to chop down to size anyone whose soul is too big for either the Barbie or GI Joe box.
The world is a fuck.
Women have pushed against the narrow boundaries of what is deemed acceptable for women for all of human history. But it took American capitalism to market it as something that can be solved by a pill
