Transgender

Your link says exactly what I've been saying, that they're not trying to make gender-affirming care for adults illegal; they're trying to make it not covered by Medicaid, which is the current reality for the men in the original article who had to pay out-of-pocket for their very necessary gender-confirming surgeries.

I'm not saying that isn't evil or that it doesn't functionally prevent trans people in the US from receiving care. I'm not saying transphobes aren't hypocrites in general. And I also understand that they will move the goal posts at the earliest opportunity to make things even worse. But cis men paying for their own gynecomastia treatments doesn't really have anything to do with it. There's no reason to campaign for them to not receive care via government funds because it's already the case that they can't.

If McKenzie Beard or anyone in her article were transphobes then the charge of hypocrisy would make sense, but as it stands I just see people getting mad about men going into medical debt to treat their own dysphoria. Like cis men are a monolith who all hate trans people and these aren't likely to be the exact men who can most understand what some trans people are go through.

Regarding them coming out and saying they hate trans people:

"The truth is there's only male and female, and there is no way that either can transition to the other," said Calloway.

"This is what is best: men, women, having a family, having babies, procreating," said Calloway. "Those aspects of our society are under attack through many different avenues. This is just one of those avenues -- promote confusion. Cause kids to be confused. They become unstable. They become adults, and before you know it, our society is totally disrupted."

I feel like they've been mask-off for a long time now. They don't want any kind of transitioning to be happening, full stop.
