𝐿𝒶𝓃𝒶 "not yet begun to fight"Trans people aren't a debate. We're human beings. Take as long with that as you need.
Edelruth, PBS Passport HolderThose are the words.
divVerent@Lana And thus there is no such thing as trans rights. There just are human rights. The same as everyone else gets, hopefully, but where most places are direly lacking. Fixing those issues benefits everyone.
Germany still has to implement things better, but its constitution starts with "Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar". Means "Human dignity is inviolable". A lot follows from that - including a lot of things some people would not like. Such as that everyone has a right to access medically necessary medication, where medical necessity includes what is necessary not just to survive, but to live a life in human dignity.
As a very recent US example, from this also follows that one can't just use trans people in prison for medical experiments for medication driven conversion therapy, precisely because they are humans and not mice (where experimentation is its own ethical issue but usually accepted much more than on humans). Not that this should even habe been a question - after all, if we accept that, next will be experiments for medical treatment of "TDS".

@divVerent trans rights are human rights because trans people are human. Hope this helps.
@Lana That is what I am saying. I do not believe in trans rights BECAUSE I believe in human rights. Trans people neither deserve nor need any special rights.
Just the same rights everyone else needs.
Obviously this makes sense because I believe in rather strong human rights in general. Unlike Americans, where even the so-called left doesn't really believe e.g. in a general human right to healthcare, and oddly then want this for trans people and some other minorities only.
