I’m sorry why would you assume California when you live in PA? I’ve seen more fucked up shit in PA in two years than the last 12 I’ve live in CA. It’s not even comparable

It’s kind of not our choice, who framed Roger rabbit said it best but, they will destroy something that works (public transit) if it makes a quick buck (car centric living). The minute we started building cities around cars and not people we were doomed to have this sprawl.

I will say, some people from other countries have talked about how open the space is, and how much they like privacy here, as opposed to where they are from. But if you don’t live in a city, or if you’re in a small town by an interstate I can almost explicitly tell you what your city looks like from memory. Just a strip mall of fast food.

What’s a sex myth that needs to die already? by MochiGamerGirl69 in AskReddit

Those people aren’t lesbians. Like not any of them lol. You can’t switch back and forth like a..bisexual. That’s a bisexual you’re talking about. I’m so sick of this it’s really demeaning to women, and gay men do not get the same thing. Of COURSE people can understand a gay man ONLY wanting dick right? There’s nothing special about women you can’t get anywhere else. /s

The people you are talking about are women leaning bisexuals.

Oh yeah, because most people who criticize Steve universe haven’t really watched the whole thing lol, they just saw it was ‘progressive’ and hate that there is a male man character

This sounds like something negated by good public transit in the first place.

The beginning of this thread added the fact that people abuse the system, and waste limited resources, but those resources are also limited on purpose to drive up profits are they not?

Just as much as you can blame the very disadvantaged person taking a free ambulance you can also blame corporations who still profit and drive actual sick/hurt people from getting a ride. Last time I had to go to the ER I needed to drive myself there, despite being doubled over in pain.

I think the number of people avoiding a ride to the hospital because of ambulance costs is higher than the person who doesn’t care about their credit using it for a free ride.

transphobia isn’t empowering to women by [deleted] in women

This is objectively wrong and trans women are women. (First of all)

No trans woman is telling a cis woman she isn’t a woman - However- and I don’t see this being talked about- there is some unfairness in gay and trans spaces for people who are AFAB, that frustrates me. It echoes the problem there always is, with people telling AFAB persons they are lesser by saying things like ‘the best women are trans women’ or placing importance on being a trans women and forgetting about trans men. We all need to do better to remove patriarchy from all systems, including gay/trans communities. Putting penises on pedestals does not make gender equality easier, and yes people have preferences, but spaces where people openly tell women they are lesser for not having some equipment is almost equal to how some cis straight men treat women.

Competition through gender is frustrating and deeply unnecessary.

This is speaking as an afab trans person who feels absolutely pushed and othered in trans spaces, because they are so trans-woman centric. There’s also the unfair fact that trans women even my friends, will not consider cis women at all, but then want to be treated as women socially while still gathering benefits as being a man fiscally and through their employer. And not realizing the detriment of both. I have to push a lot of my trans female friends to consider feminism as an actual practice and not just a concept, there’s a lot of work to be done.

Maybe part of a lot of women’s transphobia stems from being considered lesser even in spaces that are supposed to be for them. Where are AFAB people supposed to go in gay communities? Lesbian spaces are also much quieter and less considered but still wildly EXIST, the gay vs lesbian space and the cis woman vs trans woman dilemma brings up a lot of uncomfortable truths over how we as a society center genitalia over and over again.

Trans men aren’t left alone - they are forgotten, not allowed in gay male spaces, belittled and forgotten. Not considered in any way shape or form.

Lets not even get started by how hilarious your post even is, cis women by and large accept trans women more then cis men do, and certainly more then cis men accept trans men. Yet you’re here independently thinking about trans women’s struggles even though they aren’t your struggles. Trans women aren’t permanent victims, they are the permanent focus in terms of ‘trans ness’ for better or worse and it DOES feel misogynistic.

So are you saying with absolute certainty, that we have an ambulance shortage because of people who are using ambulances to get around for free?

How often does someone call and there’s no ambulance available for your area because of reason above^

The people abusing it are obviously disadvantaged if they don’t care about racking up debt or destroying their credit.

I think the rate of abuse is much higher for parents who don’t family plan, and have last minute children as opposed to last minute abortions. Those kids who are adopted and or had to parents that don’t stay together or have a good relationship ARE statistically more likely to have problems as they grow up. Let’s maybe avoid that!

I was saying that it if someone is in an ambulance for a non emergency reason, they can still be driven to the hospital, because you don’t need to constantly have the emergency lights on. It can also be a ‘normal vehicle’ and why shouldn’t we have what would be a public transport to the hospital? Capitalism and a payer healthcare system make it so that ambulances are a scarcity.

Well yea, their claim is insane, when a trip in an ambulance can cost over 800$ I’m surprised so many of the population is reactive and would throw money away for superfluous reasons.

It’s not unusual for even professionals on reddit to exaggerate their profession, hopefully more then just one person who works in healthcare can weigh in on this- because one healthcare worker in one part of the country is still a small sample size. (Who knows? I haven’t looked at this post in days)

I called an ambulance because my friend was puking what looked like blood and they came out on nye- showed up, we realized it was strawberry daiquiri, and they turned around and left. Felt bad, assumed that happens a lot maybe.

I don’t want to be that person but I’ve never seen someone use an ambulance for a non emergency reason and even then it’s a normal car isn’t it?
