  • I’m sure I am speaking to the choir here, but body dismorphia is the mental illness here, and transgenderism is the cure.

    Pre-transition transgender people are mentally ill, due to the emotional pain that comes from being trapped in a body that they don’t feel represents themselves. The cure for that illness is, of course, transitioning into the gender that makes them feel like themselves. So, a fully transitioned transgender person is no longer mentally ill, at least from body dismorphia.

    Therefore, people who are against things like puberty blockers and HRT are literally trying to keep mentally ill people from getting better. I am okay with body dismorphia being referred to as a mental illness, in accordance with medical science. The fact that it is a mental illness shows the cruelness of the people fighting against the literal cure for it.

    However, I am sure Facebook is going to just let anyone refer to perfectly happy and fully-transition transgendered people as mentally ill, which is most definitely not true, and shouldn’t be allowed.

    Obligatory Fuck Zuck.











  • Systematic (and alleged automated) denials of claims are highly immoral, unethical and possibly illegal thing to do.

    Immoral? Yes. Illegal? Obviously not, considering the amount of people who have died due to these exact kind of denials.

    It’s not illegal because the same people making money off of denying claims and killing people are using this vast wealth to lobby and propagandize against any step towards universal health care.

    I just think this doesn’t solve the root problem and just adds one more death without fixing it.

    I think you are probably right, but I think it at least sends a message to the people who can fix it. I don’t think it’s going to make the root problem worse, either.









  • Neutral onlooker and cis male here.

    I think it’s the “boo-hoo poor me I’m a man” sentiment that I initially felt reading that, even as a man.

    I felt the same way. Ok, yea we have the disadvantage of being seen as the bigger threat by other males? Because we typically are? Because of some of the many advantages we have as men?

    It feels weird to even call this a disadvantage, because it comes from having a bunch of advantages, if that makes any sense. We wouldn’t have a disadvantage here if we didn’t have natural advantages, in the first place.

    Besides, this particular situation didn’t have as much to do with his gender disadvantage as his racial disadvantage, anyways. It was all exacerbated by the disadvantage of the cop having no discernible brain cells.
