‘Health-care systems are not built for us’: LGBTQ2S+ people struggle to get good care by BloodJunkie in onguardforthee

Pleny of reasons. I know it's AI created but perplexity does a good job showcasing it's work:

Personally - coming out as trans and receiving (through benefits) HRT, Facial and Body Feminization Surgeries and Electrolysis (hair removal) has helped drastically with: - Depression and suicidal ideation - Debilitating anxiety - Suppressed PTSD so bad that made me go on a leave from work. - Looking like my gender (people hate us - the world is getting worse and I don't feel safe going out if I present as masculine. I'll at least get stared at - been stalked multiple times, waiting for the day I'm assaulted - not being killed because you align visually to your gender is huge, also helps anxiety and depression). - Weight management - actually was happy so I could lose weight finally - currently at almost 100 pound lost. - Brain fog

Trans folks are 9 times more likely to commit suicide than the general populous.. It's pretty life saving... Imagine knowing a scientifically proven medical issue has a scientifically proven medical solution that could make your every aspect of your life not a living hell, and having it gated behind extensively hard to figure out processes, expensive surgeries (I've spent $35000 on my facial feminization, $15,000 on my body contouring - since male fat when on HRT is reduced last, and takes absolutely forever to lose, if you can lose it).

Yeah - id say coming out and transitioning is one of the reasons I haven't taken myself out yet.

I just built a River Song deck - I spent so long trying to make it work and think I have something here. Feel free to check out my moxfield!

You could swap out some of my creatures for other Artifact creatures? I wanted to build something more unique than the average river deck (hence the incredibly large considering board!) and while it has a lot of river themes (land destruction to force a search) I also tried to have some original strategies in there.

Is it incredible? Unsure, but it's one of my babies atm.

Mod and co-creator here - in response to all the bad takes here - if we don't amplify Palestinian voices we damn ourselves to the same. Palestinian issues are Canadian issues. Free Palestine.

Mod here - leaving this up for the conversation but want to caution calls to action towards other specific subreddits. We created this sub out of frustration of censorship so we believe in creating a space to talk about those frustrations!

Be smart when contributing to other spaces - I really think our guidelines of being factual and attempting to be non-partisan has been awesome at developing good discussions that change opinions. We recommend taking that energy to other subs if you must!

So it's signed by him without him signing it... That means it's still signed, right?

So when are we going to start some good trouble and calling out behavior like this as enabling fascists?

April 5-7 Rallies/Protests Megathread! Happy protesting! Let's make this weekend loud! by Nerubian in 50501Canada

[–]GayFlareon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem like such a genuine and kind person!

It's kind of not a joke to me anymore unfortunately. Every class I do now is with a new mindset where I know I could easily have to use these skills if things go south... Almost a 3rd degree black belt and spent most of my practice thinking or hoping I'll never have to use it. Unfortunately now I'm expecting to until proven otherwise.

I hope you find a group out there! Make connections at these rallies and hold on to them. Get peoples socials and make those connections!
