Being able to access my medicine is absolutely at the forefront of my mind, thanks for letting me know I'm not helping.

    How does that help anyone but yourself?

    Your part is throwing everyone else to the wolves until you are fighting alone? If you can't fight with us at least don't fight against us.

    Trans people are people, bud.

    So "minorkeys not having access to things" is death but state violence to others is not?

    Now that we are at strawmen void of those pesky human emotions like "that person just needs to pee while out in public" and "maybe sacrificing an entire group of people because minorkeys can't walk and chew bubblegum is bad" we can get to the robot pragmatism. If you genuinely care about safety of workers, fair wages, decent working conditions and checks on corporate power workers unions are at worst the best stopgap. Trans people have had an outsized impact on unionization campaigns in recent history. If you say that we need to throw trans people under the bus to focus on the very issue they, broad brush as a group, excel at fixing I assume you are arguing in bad faith.

    "How does chemotherapy help anyone but the cancer patient?"

    That's what you sound like.

    It doesn't have to, you fucking nitwit. Chemotherapy is for the benefit of the cancer patient.

    And guess what? Everyone benefits from living in a society where everyone is able to access the medical care that they need.

    Only someone truly insane, out-of-touch, malicious, misanthropic, cynical, selfish, and short-sighted would ever ask a question like "But how do I or anyone else benefit from you receiving medical treatment?"

    Wow you're so progressive for asking trans people to martyr themselves for the greater good /s. Would you call the LGBT community selfish for rejecting a Democrat who was willing to sacrifice gay marriage too or is this a unique view on trans rights for you?

    Not at all. Just reprioritize to focus on the fires that threaten everything, including trans acceptance and support. Anyone who focuses on lesser, personal threats, is themselves, a hazard to everyone else, and to themselves.
