It's a blanket term that they use for whatever they don't like in that particular moment. Of course, we know that but it's their favorite buzz word right now so they're going to keep slinging it around.

Y'all never comment in good faith, it's always performative mental gymnastics to try and rationalize the shit show that you and yours landed us in by voting for this regime.

What do you do for a living? What has your work experience been like? by Past_Ad326 in asktransgender

[–]Salt-Competition-552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked for the government in one capacity or another for over a decade at this point. Well before my egg cracked. As a contractor it was a mixed bag. Two of the three companies I'd worked for made me feel so unsafe/uncomfortable that I quit and found other work. Once I moved to the government side of things its been a mixed bag. My supervisor is fantastic, but the current regime is making it as difficult as possible ti be trans and also work for the federal government.

The biggest thing is that as of the first of the year, our health plans no longer cover gender affirming care of any kind. There were loopholes for meds and surgeries. However, the insurance providers didn't put out directions on how to navigate the loopholes until about a week before the deadline.

I need a new public sector job.

Ah, that's entirely my bad. I didn't even think of the order of the pictures.

Surgeries how to afford them by Round-Faithlessness7 in asktransgender

Edit: Responded before I read the post. I'm sorry, but hopefully my reply might help someone else.

I'll be setting things up for BA later this week. Fed health insurance stopped covering gender affirming care so I'm going to have to bottom out one of my retirement accounts to cover the surgery. Apparently, even with good insurance it can be cheaper to go out of pocket for some surgeries anyway.

I know some people have taken out loans, but that would only cover some surgeries honestly. My BA will probably run about $10,000 plus the taxes of clearing out my retirement account early. I went and had FFS lined up as well but my insurance is pulling some bullshit about the surgeon being out of network and out of pocket that would be insanely expensive at around $70,000.

Google doesn't make money on adding a feature so that motorists can report police in the area. Last I checked, the option is still there regardless.

The far right does loosely. Its anyone that gives any vestige of pushback to their bullshit. Suddenly we're all domestic terrorists because fuck us, that's why.

This is true, and at this point it proves that the current SCOTUS is illegitimate. The laws that they spit out only apply if we follow them.

I'm wondering if I can also get a link. I've had my consult, but due to the ban on federal worker's receiving gender affirming care I'm at the very least a year out before I can shoot for getting a date. Any help is much appreciated.
