Medicalization, eugenics, trans/enbyphobia and ableism
Reminder that all -medicalism roads lead to eugenics.
Society is designed in a lot of ways without considerations for people who are neurodivergent, who does not have full bodily functions, and/or transgender people, and it ends up being inimical to our day-to-day functions as a result. Yet, we are taught since child birth that we are the problem, stigmatizing us, and teaching us to feel ashamed of being different, because different is bad, and the only way to fix it is to "fix" us so that we change, so that we are genetically screened away before we can even be conceived.
It fails to address cases like myself where I am comfortable being otherkin, plural, autistic and non-binary, and don't want nor need to be "cured" nor does it deal our assertion that any disadvantage we experience from it is a social construct.
Ultimately, ableism, transphobia, enbyphobia, psychophobia, and the medicalization of these conditions as conditions to be cured...they all lead to eugenics.

So this is why I have no reservations against saying that all transmeds, truscum and TERFs are nazis, because their ideologies lead to eugenics.

Plus, i no longer feel the need to babysit the egos of those who might get offended at the suggestion that having nazi beliefs makes you a nazi.
re: Medicalization, eugenics, -phobias and -isms, an addendum
This is an interesting video that shares a lot of how I see medicalization and its effects on the discourse surrounding diability and neurodivergence : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWZx4Y7Cpq8
