1. Negación y Obstaculización de la Atención Médica.
La transfobia se manifiesta en la negación o dificultad para acceder a la atención médica necesaria, afectando tanto a cirugías de afirmación de género como a tratamientos generales.
- I am trans but even not out the transphobia is directly affecting medical care in pretty significant manners and it's awful.
- So few people realize the medical transphobia we face, even sometimes with “affirming” providers. It’s so ridiculous that procedures and medications are banned for one group of people, but could be accessed without the word “transgender” in their medical records.
- Also everyone shuts down as soon as i even suggest this, but trans people are at risk from medical transphobia while accessing trans surgeries just as much as with any other medical care! why do we pretend it's different?
2. Internalización de la Transfobia y Transmedicalismo.
La internalización de la transfobia puede llevar a la demonización de la transición médica y a la creación de jerarquías entre personas trans, como en el caso del transmedicalismo.
- I would argue if that sentiment is read as demonizing medical transition, that’s some heavy internalized transphobia you need to work through.
- Transmedicalism is just transphobia under a different name. There is no wrong or right way of being trans, and fuck the people who say there is. We're dudes, we're trans, and we like being that bitch.
- This isn't about medical needs, this is about you needing to feel superior to other trans people. You are engaging in lateral transphobia, which does not help any trans person. All it does is exhaust us with in-fighting while cis power structures continue to remove our legal rights and recognition.
3. Impacto en la Salud Mental y Detransición.
La transfobia es una causa principal de detransición y contribuye a problemas de salud mental, incluyendo el riesgo de suicidio, debido a la discriminación y hostilidad.
- New research from the largest ever survey into the health of trans americans has shown what trans folks have long said – that transphobia is the main reason behind ‘detransition’. Damn i'm shocked.
- Cw: suicide, transphobia this is just transphobia. No one is killing themselves because someone said trans people will die if healthcare is taken away from them. They're dying because the healthcare is being taken from them. Obfuscating that is an attempt to make being trans out to be a bad thing.
- Largest trans survey ever finds the top reason transgender people stop transitioning, is transphobia. We're not surprised. But then again, that's because a lot of the hate directed at us, is meant to stop us from being ourselves.
4. Transfobia Institucional y Profesional.
La transfobia se manifiesta en el ámbito médico a través de la falta de conocimiento, prejuicios de los profesionales y políticas institucionales que dificultan el acceso a una atención adecuada.
- As we know from personal experience transphobia is a big problem in the medical community still.
- The doctors just refuse because the banal evil of institutional transphobia is just people with authority over you using it to add as much misery as they can during their intersection with your life. Be it a brief jab of a deadname or the outright murder attempt of denying care.
- In a lot of cases, this is going to be just transphobia from the doctor or hospital, though there are cases where the doctors are informed on how to healthily transition given the situation people are in when seeing them.
5. Impacto en la Autonomía y la Libertad Personal.
La transfobia restringe la autonomía de las personas trans sobre sus propios cuerpos y decisiones médicas, afectando su libertad personal y calidad de vida.
- Transitioning is a miracle combination of advancing medical science and personal freedom. Should have been a layup. Instead the enemies of medicine and personal freedom teamed up to use transphobia take over everything.
- You are saying that trans adults don’t have a right to decide on their own medical treatments and should be required to go through bodily changes they do not want, based on no evidence other than your personal sense that being trans is weird and wrong. Thats transphobia.
- Access to gender affirming care (like all effectively medical treatments) is a human right. Disgusting logic in reinforcing state sanctioned transphobia.
