    I doubt there is a federal, state, or local law, or in the constitution that states you have a right to getting testosterone or estrogen.

        This is not debatable. In the US, the constitution does not guarantee a right to healthcare. No federal or state laws guarantee a right to healthcare. Even though the federal government offer several healthcare related program (medicare, medicad, etc…) but they are not required under any federal law to do so.

        To answer your question, yes, I do believe legal citizens should have a right to healthcare. A person should not go bankrupt because they contracted cancer.

        So, when you make a statement saying T people are being denied a right to healthcare, you’re spreading misinformation. They have the same rights as myself and every other legal citizen.

        I would be equally outraged if the government decided a specific racial group, for example, was told they don’t have the right to an attorney when being prosecuted. Because that would be being denied an actual right that everyone else enjoys.
