Thread: Should gender reassignment surgery be covered by health insurance providers?

Oww my head. Ok. Let's see if I can get into this askjdaasjd jffccc am I gonna regret this O- here we go Ok. That post, for context, was made in significant emotional distress due to the subject matter and a long list of other distressing things happening in the news recently. Human suffering upsets me woops Firstly I'm sorry if my initial post is viewed as a non-contribution, and for size and content you're probably right. I'm afraid I don't have the resources, also, to give sources and factual evidence because I live on a very restricted internet access atm, and due to illness my mental organisational skills for the location of information is really not up to par. I can only really give my personal perspective, I'm sorry if that's not enough, and I'm sorry if it appeared antagonising. I do tend to have emotional fallout when I anticipate stress, its a defense mechanism common in people, including myself, who have had this conversation many times over but have usually being discredited and things devolve down to personal beliefs. Not saying thats bad- personal beliefs are valid. But I see the results of these social politics and it upsets me. My disclaimer as to the fact that I want to contribute, but find it harrowing and difficult in some situations, is not elitist. It is so far from elitist I'm kinda just....buh. I'm not saying I'm better than people? Or that you aren't worthy of my time? But that I maybe might not benefit from this discussion, even though it effects me and many many people I care about, because I am trying to protect myself from anticipated consequences. I would appreciate if I wasn't assumed to be an elitist or an asshole because I don't give everyone a slideshow and projection about everything, but of course that is the nature of this particular forum so I understand hostility can be discrediting but that is really problematic for people who have had shitty experiences. Just because someone feels affronted doesn't always mean the person causing that is automatically in the wrong. I'd be really angry if someone said something that was genuinely frightening and horrific extreme example for the sake of unsubtle transparancy, Denial of the Holocaust. I'm sure people get angry when horrific things happen- it's a common but strange phenomenon. If a person does a bad thing, if people say 'omg that was BAD', it doesnt seem 'right' that the bad person replies 'omg youre attacking me'. I'm also stressed by the possibility cisphobia, heterophobia, reverse racism or misandry might turn up in such debates as this, don't even get me started lol! It's such a huge issue, the one of this thread, it's rather difficult to organise my thoughts enough to even know where to begin Kuro If my initial post is upsetting for viewers, I won't be offended if its removed from the thread. I'm not trying to push the issue here, but I continue to be confused as to the second warning, and what I've done to deserve it? idk. I'd prefer to be talked to than just given warnings, if that is something available. I'm trying to communicate and explain myself here o- I dont know if I have to, but I would like to appeal the decision for the second warning if you think it is entirely necessary?? I'm not a troublemaker i promise lmao being at the computer again feels nicer omfg
