First, it started with people saying cis women getting breast implants was gender-affirming surgery and at least that kinda made sense on the very surface level. Now people are claiming all plastic surgeries are gender-affirming which made me check whether this was some orchestrated trolling effort. Doesn't seem like it.
Here's the tweet .
To quote my original comment: not the same as all plastic surgeries being gender affirming, which is not what the tweet claims anyway. like i just don't know what else to try to tell you, I never claimed what you're trying to dunk on, I explicitly stated the opposite, and made a light case for why his specific hair treatment could possibly be considered gender affirming. damn.
You know what you are correct, I was mixing up the OP tweet with another comment on this thread that said “basically all cosmetic surgery can be viewed through the lens of gender affirming surgery”.
Even with the qualifier of “basically” it still feels like way too strong of a statement and one that erases a lot of people.
Sorry for being pedantic, just really felt like people in here were ignoring the existence of non-binary people and universal cosmetic surgeries and I countersignalled a little too hard
oh, I vibe. yeah, I definitely don't agree with that blanket statement, cosmetic surgery as a whole is a lot to unpack in a forum comment. glad we got on the same page, all the best :hexbear-non-binary:
Sorry I took you uncharitably, I was tilted
it's good. :solidarity:
also non-binary people absolutely get ignored all the goddamn time, so definitely don't hesitate to remind people on this site lol
