#as though my literal first reblog isn't explaining that there's no clear and meaningful way to separate trans surgeries from cosmetic ones

i think if you're going to get big mad at me in my notes over a version of my post that you just made up then you should at least check to make sure that your complaint isn't the literal first thing i addressed in the reblog that for some reason isn't circulating anymore

#.txt #someone getting mad at me for Ignoring Eurocentrism on that post abt surgery and bodily autonomy #as though my literal first reblog isn't explaining that there's no clear and meaningful way to separate trans surgeries from cosmetic ones #as far as describing a relationship to racist + eurocentric norms goes - trans surgeries are formulated around those norms too! #and if u want a coherent politic of surgery that doesn't cede easy ground to reactionaries then u have to be prepared to tackle+ #+eurocentrism + racism whilst advocating for uncaveated access to body modification for all. anything else is a nonsense position. #what's funny is i didn't even say Don't Criticise Surgery: i said that the bottom line of yr criticism has to be bodily autonomy lmao
