Tell me you're American without telling me you're American.

Yeah, normally this meme wouldn't be about life-changing consequences to ones personal finances but about life-changing consequences on someones body due to a medical emergency.

Land of the free!*

*excluding free healthcare

This is why most of the world literally laughs about the US. Civilized countries have long removed finance from the worries you have when getting into an accident.

If Breaking Bad was set in Germany or France it would be a single 20-minute episode.

Vote against perscription only drug laws, vote against medical cartels, vote for public funding of healthcare. Make them pay some of those taxes back to us!

But then trans girls might be able to play sports!

The trans sport thing is probably the one thing the right is correct on when it comes to trans issues and the one position where they have popular support. Dont fall into that trap. They will use it as an emotional wedge to paint trans people as irrational and unreasonable. Most people do support trans rights, but a large majority of people do not want them competing against biological females in sports. Its not fair for them, and it sucks for trans people because they have no option, but its the only good solution we have right now.

not fair for cis women isn't true. trans women who go through HRT are pretty much the same as cis women in terms of strength

[–] DarkAri@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

This is very close to true after a few years or maybe people who take hrt before puberty but generally most teenagers shouldnt be doing full dose hrt imo. A mild dose it better, it gives them flexability to go either way later in life.

Also there are a few advantages males who have had tedtoterone are going to have, like wider shoulders, denser bones and stuff. Im not against it but its a hard sell for most. Around 2/3rds of americans are against it.
