I wasn't going to humor a 24 hour old throwaway, but it seems HN wants to believe you over someone with actual experience; shocking I know. What would you call it if your parents denied you healthcare as a child, leading to permanent disfigurement? I call it mutilation. It used to be common to get serious infections at a young age. But today if your parents refused to provide you healthcare (vaccinations, in this case), and you caught polio which lead to osteoporosis preventing you from ever walking normally again; would you also say that wasn't damage or mutilation? I mean, it was the natural process of development through which a child matures, at least until we developed a vaccine. It used to be there wasn't much we could do for trans people, just like polio. But now we have medications that can prevent the suffering the conditions lead to, and not using them is evil.
