I just think it's funny when we talk about an eating disorder versus medical transition as an either-or, when... literally every passing guide I used as a teen was extremely clear abt wl as a strategy, and basically all top surgeons- and some endos!- have BMI cutoffs

I just really fucking wish we wouldn't do this thing of pretending that trans culture hasn't been in some ways poisoned and delimited by diet culture, to the detriment of multiple kinds of trans people with multiple goals

like, also: as someone who has been the Non-Passing / Non-Op guy in a circle of trans men and been just, like, openly objectified for my body by skinny cis fags, with nobody saying boo, I have to ask what it does to trans culture to not *also* work through these body issues

*you* can probably transition your way out of your dysmorphia, but not everyone can, Laverne- and I would just like an acknowledgement of the fact that diet culture and body fascism can also be incorporated into trans attitudes around the body
