I think the fact that this toot is getting some attention, almost exclusively by trans folk, shows that we immediately understand this to be true while cis people aren’t so sure. This underscores the fact that you’ve *got* to listen to the most affected people. Cis people would never consider a waitlist for HRT as unreasonable. “Trans” happens to be a group I’m a part of, but I see this pattern repeated again and again in society’s approach to groups like disabled people, or pregnant people, or women, or racialized people, or workers… Any time you unilaterally determine policy that affects a group of people without those people being represented, nay driving, those decisions, you make a mistake.

@what I don’t know, I think it’s more important that my vague discomfort stemming from cissexism I don’t even know I have be placated over permitting something that the bigots on TV describe as “unregulated”
