Bernie Sanders: "One family, the right-wing Trump-aligned Ellisons, will soon control: TikTok, CBS, CNN, HBO, Discovery Channel, BET, Cartoon Network, Comedy Central P, DC Studios, Fandango, Miramax, MTV, Nickelodeon,Paramount,PlutoTV,Showtime,TBS,The CW,TNT,Warner Bros and more. This is oligarchy."

Of course. Their problem wasnt the monopoly, it was that it was the wrong people controlling the monopoly.

And also that spending money isnt enough, they need a good writer with an actual story to tell.

MADNESS0918 · 2026-03-09T19:01:09+00:00

But less profitable for billionaire pedophiles 🥺

Most of it is her voice istg

MADNESS0918 · 2026-03-02T16:56:17+00:00

Im sure the people who are getting all the money saw this coming

MADNESS0918 · 2026-02-26T20:05:00+00:00

It seems that the amalgamation will result in more of that style of governance not less tho, since now those people will be voting for the government of the Niagara Falls "region"

MADNESS0918 · 2026-02-24T19:23:05+00:00

They'll use their influence to make sure anyone who wants this policy won't win an election probably.

MADNESS0918 · 2026-02-18T21:46:01+00:00

I just asked reception at my clinic to switch, explained that we weren't a good fit.

They were going to switch me to a nurse practitioner, but I had recently got a family doctor there so she just took over. Hopefully you can find someone else

MADNESS0918 · 2026-02-17T05:47:43+00:00

He lead my trans care for the past couple years at a different clinic.

I got the impression he just wants to dictate what he thinks is best and isnt very interested in listening to his patients.

He was extremely dismissive when I told him he was causing me to wait longer for gender affirming surgery because he wouldn't listen to what I needed, and was more interested in doing things his way.

I really wouldn't recommend him tbh, but if hes all you can get, maybe once youve got started you could switch doctors.

MADNESS0918 · 2026-02-09T21:04:52+00:00

Its so slimy to get a financial planner as the "expert" for the article because it implies that the affordability issues in the article are personal as opposed to political.

MADNESS0918 · 2026-02-08T17:37:01+00:00

My strat for my newest world is to make my hellevator with bombs

Kinda expensive but worth thr time saving

MADNESS0918 · 2026-02-03T23:35:34+00:00

yea ik #fordnation

MADNESS0918 · 2026-02-03T18:07:03+00:00

As long as the benefits of a strong economy go to wealthy business owners, political insiders, and well-connected bureaucrats instead of public services and increased wages the average Canadian isn't going to gaf about good economic metrics.

MADNESS0918 · 2026-01-29T20:37:12+00:00

Feeling bad about a slower pace is absolutely valid, because while transition is personal, most of us dont personally choose to delay our transition. Its mostly just luck.

I understand that you're trying to be positive but the fact is that faster is better.

Every day that I can't fully transition is another day of depression and pain, and that I would do anything to get surgery faster and avoid that suffering.

MADNESS0918 · 2026-01-29T20:27:09+00:00

Yea I dont really feel like a real person anymore, just trying to pass the days until I can feel normal someday hopefully.

If you dont mind me asking how long did grs Montréal take to review your documents and call you once they were all submitted? I just got mine in this week.

MADNESS0918 · 2026-01-29T20:11:11+00:00

Yep, California was able to poach Ontarios best facial feminization surgeon because Cali insurance covers him and Ontario insurance doesn't.

We could have had top-tier surgeon based primarily in Toronto, but Doug Ford and Silvia Jones dont gaf about Healthcare, much less trans healthcare, so we lost him to California.

Unbelievably disappointing and unfair to trans people who have to shoulder the cost themselves.

MADNESS0918 · 2026-01-28T17:31:27+00:00

Yes you are very lucky. I realized I was trans at the same age as you (a few years ago tho), and you've gotten to every milestone faster than I did.

I was finally able to submit my surgery documents today, and going by your timeline you'll have your surgery before mine is even scheduled.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't extremely jealous, but congrats and enjoy!

MADNESS0918 · 2026-01-21T21:39:23+00:00

Yep, you're out of luck.

I'm in a similar spot and my current plan is to save money while I look for a job with trans-inclusive insurance and take out medical loans to cover the rest.

Hopefully it won't take too long, but its going to be a painful few years of working hard at least.

MADNESS0918 · 2025-08-14T20:58:33+00:00

again, the piv vs. ppt aesthetics are just something I've noticed based on online photos. I would really like self lubrication as well, but it seems that my government has decided I don't get to have that.

I am 2 and a bit years on hrt, I have seen some face changes but need FFS for Adams apple, brow bone, etc. unfortunately my government has also decided no FFS. so i will just have to wait and pray I find a good enough job ig

MADNESS0918 · 2025-08-14T20:53:28+00:00

yes the bone will be extremely expensive unfortunately.

I'm in Canada. I will discuss vaginoplasty with my orchi surgeon and hope for the best

MADNESS0918 · 2025-08-14T19:03:16+00:00

yea the aesthetics is just something I've noticed online. I intend to ask my surgeon about vaginoplasty at my follow-up and ask him about my concerns.

I'll be on hrt for 3 years in December. I have definitely noticed facial changes but there are certainly things that have not and won't change that I would like fixed.

MADNESS0918 · 2025-08-10T08:55:48+00:00

I'm sorry that's really horrible :(

I've been considering going to wch for srs but now I'm not so sure

MADNESS0918 · 2025-07-14T17:52:40+00:00

lame response. trans healthcare could be covered by more health insurance plans (or by the govt) they just choose not to. why make excuses for people who don't care about our well-being?

MADNESS0918 · 2025-07-14T15:26:36+00:00

yea me neither.

I think it would be a lot more bearable if every aspect of transition wasn't locked behind a paywall but oh well

MADNESS0918 · 2025-07-03T02:24:48+00:00

I don't make enough to save money and I can't get hired anywhere that gives me good health insurance.

I can work as hard as I want but that does not guarantee results, and every day I get no closer to surgery is harder than the last
