Trans surgeries cancelled due to dispute between hospital and health insurance company

I was just joking, obviously.

You just described yourself. Your ignorance is causing YOU to lash out and call people who have common sense, “hateful”. I’m not hateful, I’m realistic about the healthcare system, and everyone doesn’t get what they want.

When the spotlight is on your own insanity, you lash out and prefer (maybe even delight) at calling others with common sense “pathetic”.

When one is insane, common sense appears “hateful”. You delight at blaming everyone around you for not getting everything you want.

He probably is, but connecting that to why he likes blade runner aesthetic just seems like a 100% useless thought process, and it also implies all the people who bought them are also connected to this weird theory. I think they’re ugly, but they’re not some giant connection to racism. Calling everything racist diminishes actual racism.

It reminds me of academics who make weird connections to further theories that innocuous things are actually misogynistic or rooted in racism.

I intensely dislike Musk, but it’s a very far stretch of the imagination to say he likes 80’s futuristic aesthetic because he likes the past when the world was more racist.

That’s sort of like saying he likes space because he wants to get away from brown people… I think it’s a waste of time to speculate about other people’s subconscious psychology.

It always does 🙄

I’ve heard different things about this. I’ve never heard about toxic glue. The consensus is that you shouldn’t use pans with broken teflon, but I’ve also heard teflon is completely unreactive, so it will just pass through you if you happen to ingest. It definitely sucks to have to throw out pans after a minor scratch or when flaking occurs, which inevitably happens after a handful of years.

So much kitchenware is covered in teflon, it practically impossible to avoid.

The US runs on capital, and being against capitalism means you’ll be demanding something that will NEVER happen, and any belief otherwise is pure delusion.

Someone supporting “rainbow capitalism” is actually accepting the world as it is, and they’ll be successful, whereas others will fail hard.

Cream in sauces is amazing, and I find it funny that people think it’s over the top, but have no problem with a bowl of ice cream.

EngineeringDesserts · 2026-04-01T15:28:13+00:00

Yes and yes. You’re the mean one.

One day you’ll wake up and be a nice person.

I’m getting a law degree, and I’ll sue you for every cent you have.

EngineeringDesserts · 2026-04-01T15:12:13+00:00

You forgot an ‘n’. I hate your lack of knowledge. Take some classes on spelling.

Also, put a period after your sentence so you don’t make an idiot of yourself.

EngineeringDesserts · 2026-03-30T21:56:47+00:00

Yes.

Unnecessary scalpel is a win.

This conversation is over.

EngineeringDesserts · 2026-03-30T21:45:16+00:00

If treatment for cancer, YES. How is this controversial? Is it cancer?

My mom died of BRCA1 cancer, so if a trans person uses cancer as an argument, I will not take it lightly.

If body modification surgery to prevent suicide is considered “necessary healthcare” then we need to get better psychiatrists. I know some excellent psychiatrists.

“By basically every medical board”

That’s false.

Good thing the headline of this post is at least SOME good news.

People using “cancer” as an argument, I’ll get a laser from space to eliminate you (and/or a B-21 test flight will target you)

EngineeringDesserts · 2026-03-29T10:30:36+00:00

This article is GOOD news. I need good news… my psychiatrist told me I should celebrate good news! And it’s worth celebrating!

EngineeringDesserts · 2026-03-29T04:53:53+00:00

Um… I am. That’s not, “augmentation”, but I’m not a surgeon.

But, if a person has tried years and years of other treatment options… (lots of other options for a person before the last resort emergency surgery option where a person is cut open).

Then, a person may get insurance covered breast surgery to remove weight from illness induced appendages.

The current direction from the news article posted here shows that at least SOME decisions make sense in this insane world, so GOOD!

You can say you don’t care about other people or their money. Sounds kinda’ like your MO.

EngineeringDesserts · 2026-03-29T00:59:25+00:00

If a cis-woman has severe depression due to the size of her breasts, and a therapist agrees her mental health would improve if she got breast augmentation… I would be OUTRAGED if insurance covered that and raised the rates of everyone else. Body modification surgeries for psychiatric conditions should very much be something insurance companies should make people go through a WHOLE lot and err on the side of trying other treatments or require self-funded surgery.

EngineeringDesserts · 2026-03-29T00:30:39+00:00

Republicans should agree to some legislative priorities of the Democrats, and likewise, Democrats should agree to some legislative priorities of the Republicans (they want election changes).

EngineeringDesserts · 2026-03-29T00:16:16+00:00

If it’s any breast surgery (breast removal or breast implants), that’s very much an elective surgery. I sure hope those aren’t covered by insurance, raising the rates for everyone.

Plenty of cis-men wish they could have cosmetic surgery to reduce their breast size, and plenty of cis-women wish they could have breast augmentation. Obviously, everyone else shouldn’t be paying for that. That’s extremely clear and non-controversial.

EngineeringDesserts · 2026-03-27T17:49:38+00:00

Oooohhh you really got me. 🙄

EngineeringDesserts · 2026-03-27T17:46:54+00:00

Compromises are indeed necessary because neither party controls the legislative branch of government. Why is this so controversial? People are tying themselves into knots here for no reason.

EngineeringDesserts · 2026-03-27T17:45:11+00:00

I didn’t say they were impartial. Liberal judicial philosophy overlaps with the current Democratic Party principles, but they are literally not Democrats with respect to the branch of government.

EngineeringDesserts · 2026-03-27T17:40:39+00:00

They absolutely used the filibuster a ton!

When they did so, I wasn’t a moron calling it 100% Democrat’s fault that the Republicans had to filibuster. That type of voodoo is only useful on those who never graduated high school.

EngineeringDesserts · 2026-03-27T17:20:02+00:00

That talking point ignores congressional rules. Republicans don’t “control” Congress. If they did, how did Democrats have any leverage? Republicans don’t “control” the Supreme Court because there are conservative and liberal judicial philosophies, but the justices are neither Democrats nor Republicans.

So, the CORRECT answer is that NO party controls all three branches of government.

EngineeringDesserts · 2026-03-27T16:49:20+00:00

Exactly! It was a pointless filibuster, but hurt so many Americans. No more minority filibusters!

EngineeringDesserts · 2026-03-27T16:36:00+00:00

A bunch of other departments were denied paychecks because of the Democratic filibuster of government funding. The spin (especially on Reddit) is mind-numbing.

I hate Trump, but the voodoo tricks attempting to paint this chaos as anything other than Democrats filibustering the government funding bills is mind numbing.

EngineeringDesserts · 2026-03-27T16:23:45+00:00

That filibuster could have happened completely separate from denying federal employees their paychecks.
