They should also ideally be banned from the community

I have many issues with hexbear, but transphobia is not one of them. They are explicitly and aggressively trans inclusive

I worked with a supportive group of folk, and I told them that I’ll be voice training, and that I’ll sound ridiculous for a while, and that I’m super self conscious about it, and so whilst we’re all good to stir each other a bit as we have always done, I asked them to not use my voice as a target.

They were cool with that, and so I was able to just train it by using it every day.

Ultimately, I ended up getting VFS too, but my training before that was still helpful, because vocal surgery is a way of getting more for less with your training, more than a way of avoiding training altogether.

It’s transphobia. The Harry Benjamin standards of care gatekept trans folk from medical transition unless they were able to cis pass, and were willing to leave their lives behind and start again. Basically, the only trans people they wanted were trans people that they could pretend don’t exist.

And the whole presentation thing was part of their assessment. People who didn’t jump through their hoops were denied care.

That’s from the 70s and 80s.

This is the lingering after effects of those standards of care, hurting gender diverse folk decades later…
