No one is being denied their eye sight.

And no, people suffering from gender dysphoria cannot live without and be happy. I'm starting to think that you don't actually know anything about gender dysphoria. Maybe you should do some research? You could try Googling "Gender dysphoria."

I think they'll need to Google 'Google' first.

This is a great thing for the trans community & there's no denying that but don't be rude to ppl who struggle with severe obesity or cataracts and can't afford their own surgeries as well.

Girl how am I being insensitive. I wear contacts myself and I know the struggles. Besides, nothing I said was mean spirited at all. I have glaucoma so I know how expensive some of this can be, yet there's insurance that covers it

and DEAD @ the comparison, nothing alike

I guess it's a good thing that one of the main symptoms of gender identity disorder is depression, then

And this type of surgery is thousands and thousands of dollars

If you are so desperate for 20/20 eyesight and don't want to be bothered with the likes of contacts or glasses (God knows millions of people around the world wish they could afford such luxuries), pay for the lasik yourself.

You won't be subject to a lifetime of psychological distress for having astigmatism

And y'all need to SIMMER DOWN, these aren't surgeries that are done by the millions, people have to go through SEVERE psychological and psysical testing to ensure the surgery is what they need and that they will be able to adapt the process and thrive afterwards after years of medication and therapy.

THANK YOU!

These people are getting their panties in a bunch for something that's going to happen like maybe 10 times a year.

Some of y'all just need to pull all the way BACK from the screen and log off ATRL for a while if your eyesight is so terribly impaired

And no,im not a homophobe.

if anything you would be a transphobe not a homophobe.

i agree with you on your "rare diseases" argument but mind you that about 60% of cancer cases are not biological but self inflicted.

being transgender is never self inflicted.

Actually you can. You're being ignorant.

Suddenly eye sight is a non issue because everyone has money for proper glasses and contacts or lasik surgery?

Very interesting. I must have forgotten money grows on trees.

I understand that they're really different subjects and can't be compared just thought it was a tad bit rude to be like "pay for your own surgery"

Regardless, this is a good step

But don't you know, everyone is going to be wanting one now. People will get anything for free.

which is exactly why the ban is a good thing. transgender people can't afford it and therefore have to live a miserable life. have some empathy
