Why do people want to hide their breasts if they are in transition?
Because they are not ready to take on discrimination. I myself, am currently looking for work. Jobs are notoriously difficult to get as presenting LGBT... emphasis on the T. So securing said job and falling into EEOC protection is critical to my transition. . . We, over on this side of the pond, do not have universal health care, and so must fund it either out of pocket, or through super expensive health insurance. My only shot at transitioning the way I want to, is to have a good job with good health coverage.
The only way I'm getting that good job with good health coverage, is to secure employment BEFORE coming out.
How, Why, When, and Where I transition is best left up to me... Not you. Every other form of medical care is provided on an urgency scale, or through informed consent. Meaning if your life is in danger, they do whatever it takes to save your life. If you're life is NOT in danger, they inform you of your options and let you make a decision. Why must you insist on keeping us in a state of mistrust? Do you prefer that we not have the choice like every cis-person?
So please for the love of all that is good in this world, let people choose for themselves how they want to live their life.
