Sometimes I'll see something Brianna Wu says about the history of being trans and the reasons for some older policy or another and I'm just like… did you and I see the same guidelines?

Sometimes I'll see something Brianna Wu says about the history of being trans and the reasons for some older policy or another and I'm just like… did you and I see the same guidelines? Because I know for a fact what you are describing was never part of WPATH nor HBS at the very least.
I won't discount the possibility that you specifically had some weird set of corner cases to jump through, that absolutely happened, but sometimes it's just like… what?
-
Like where the hell is she getting this?
Is there some WPATH/HBS version I missed? Some set of overall clinician notes?
Nevermind that even if these were the standards:
1. They are gross standards.
2. That isn't going to be why.
3. They shouldn't be glorified. -

@hrefna yeah really. If true, it is in fact blindingly obvious why — but it’s not the reason she seems to think is so blindingly obvious.
-
Like I literally have the SOC 6 right now in front of me and I've read through the SOC 4 & 5 previously.
What is she on about?
Again, maybe her local clinic required something like this or told her those were the reasons, and again, even to the degree this is true why is THIS what you are focusing on?
But still I'm baffled where this universalization is even coming from.

@jdp23 I'm sorry, we were looking for "What is transphobia?" or "What is the sexualization of trans bodies?"
-
@hrefna we've also read several versions of the SoC in depth, though not recently, and have never seen anything about that.
we are long past the point of assuming good faith with her though.
-
@ireneista I can never quite tell with her whether I'm looking at:
1. An outright fabrication meant to mislead others for whatever reason.
2. A fabrication meant to mislead herself.
3. A distorted memory.
