[OP of thread]
waffleflavoredfloss: Just wondering at the hypocrisy of trans women who use medicare and employer insurance to get things like fake breasts and facial surgery etc. When will these services be free for women who have qualms about how they look? If Im flat chested can I claim breast implants are for my mental health or if I have large jaw can I use facial feminization surgery on the tax payer dollar too? I just found out these things were covered by medicare and Im honestly floored its so insulting and unbelievable.

natalwoman: If TIMs can get breast augmentation for having small breasts after hormones - why can't flat chested women get breast augmentation as well? Same with facial plastic surgery too!

You can be a woman and not have big comic book tits - but that doesn't fulfill their fucking fetish.

berryflakes: And you can be a woman and have a big and / or broken nose. We are taught that surgery shouldn’t be the first thing to do, even if you engage in self destructive actions because of your looks, and it’s never covered, but somehow they can get it free and without anyone questioning it?!

waffleflavoredfloss: I find it insulting to women who have features these people describe as male as well like do they not see how sexist they are?

McKarty: I’m sorry, but they aren’t real women. There are only two types of woman: porn and anime.

Edit: and hentai women, of course, who are iNtErSeX— it’s a spectrum! Sorry to be so exclusionary; I’m still (always) learning.

vrishkin: It ok girl, I sexualize all women :* :*

I’ve asked people before if insurance should cover my meal prep, gym fees and supplements so I could match my dysmorphic body view and been told “yes” before.

TiM apologists are delusional

skallys: It's weird because they spend so much effort claiming everything about them "IS" female, but then do a 180 when insurance offers covered surgery on like 8 different parts of them.

tryingformighty: You have made an excellent point. How can they argue for "gender confirmation" surgery while arguing they shouldn't have to have SRS?

Of course I think we know the answer...both are ways they seek satisfaction from their fetish.

justhysterical2018: Reminds me of when the New Yorker wrote this pretty glowing piece about a stunning and brave TIMs facial feminization surgery. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/03/19/the-story-of-a-trans-womans-face

I read it and just laughed. Women like the Kardashians and the Real Housewives get made fun of all the time for their facial reconstruction projects. Sure these women look ridiculous, but where are our profiles in the New Yorker for getting "affirming" nose jobs and forehead reconstruction? When women get plastic surgery we're called vain and shallow if you can tell we've had work done. Can you imagine a New Yorker author discussing with sympathy how difficult it is for women to get fillers and nose jobs covered by insurance?

tryingformighty: Does this mean that if "transwomen are women" we can make fun of them for being vain and shallow when *they* have facial plastic surgery?
