rant incoming, everyone duck!

 

I just don't fucking get it.

you don't have to like butt sex in any way shape or form, you don't have to like two women making out (if you don't I'd ask wtf is wrong with you), you don't have to like watching two guys suck each other off (it's pretty hot if you ask me), you don't have to be gay, and you can think that a person assigned male at birth who wants to go through a gauntlet of treatment and social changes simply in order to feel alright and live a congruent inner and outer life as a woman is the strangest fucking thing you've ever heard of, it just doesn't matter.

I think you believe in crazy loony bullshit too.

But you know what? I have NEVER ONCE thought you should not be allowed to worship on Sunday, or go to that church, or you MUST believe I am normal and just another iteration of your God's creation.

We let you be you, why the FUCK won't you let us be us. It's NOTHING to you. and my kids, live in the queerest house in a 10 miles radius I'm pretty sure and they are straight teenage boys, because that's who they are.

There's no secret agenda to steal your kids, groom your kids, or do anything other than live a normal, fulfilled life, where our healthcare is simply another task on our to-do list and not some fucking existential god damned crisis.

So why can't you just leave us the FUCK ALONE.

Fair point, but BCOM and its affiliated hospitals are almost polar opposite of Baylor University.  Very pro-science, pro-alternative care, lots of community wellness engagement, flexible payment options, free clinics, research, women's care, etc.  Obviously being partners with the Catholic Health System, they're not exactly 'progressive' System, but they're not in the stone age either.   Baylor University's pre-med/bio-chem program consists mainly of learning how to intentionally spoil rape kits and that the need for abortion is simply a demonic idea planted into the woman's cerebral cortex due to caffeine and dancing.  

My rant aside, I'm sure Ken Paxton and Dan Patrick are concocting a "legal" plan to force BCOM to reveal all patient records for the last 10 years for a "professional ethics audit" of the health care providers.  

About 5 years ago, I went with my wife for our final checkup before delivery of the 2nd munchkin.  And her OB/GYN whom I've gotten to know over the years, helluva nice guy.  Very conservative, church-goer, rich southern white guy, but we get to talking (we've spoken socially at fundraisers so he opens up to me about shit and vice-versa).  And he's telling me he's got his value set and beliefs, but that God gave him a skill set and a bedside manner to make sure everybody regardless of gender has agency over their body and their health choices.  (this is me speaking in his voice at the time, so past tense). "I dunno, I've got a bad feeling from some what I'm reading and hearing from colleagues, Texas is gonna start enticing doctors like me to start turning over patient records or compel them in other ways.  I thought he was being as paranoid as I was.  Turns out he was a half decade ahead of his time.  Once again, our prize mistake---a lack of imagination.

Particularly since it was pre-meditated, not just not some spur of the moment records release made out of frustration or exhaustion.  Plus it appears personally and politically motivated.  And quite possibly have come with enticements made by others to 'reward' the doctor for being the 'first through the wall' with such actions to set precedence in alignment with certain powerful people's goals and ambitions.

[troph 24798]

parents need to leave these states if their children are of the age where real medical treatment is needed. GTFO your kids are in harms way. just leave. I get it, life, roots, jobs, etc. but cut the cord, move on, rebuild. it will be the best thing you ever did for them.

Even if he did, The TMB would not reinstate him. I guess he could fire the board, but even so that guy will never be able to bill a government or private payor again. I guess he could set up a med spa or something for cash. Yeah injecting women with testosterone would be the perfect outcome for him

Folks who receive gender affirming care are far less likely to regret the decision than folks who sought elective plastic surgery operations and also far less likely to regret the decision than folks who made major, non surgical, life decisions, such as having a child.

Tough to argue you love trans neighbors as you are commanded to do when you oppose gender affirming care. I believe the right to pursue happiness comes into this discussion.. False Christians and fake patriots can fuck off.

• A 16-point drop in viewing same-sex relationships as "moral" in the last two years.

Not every time a straight male says something means it’s “cis-plaining.”   Most of the time we’re just being condescending.  
 

What this ruling opinion is is much, much  darker.  It reads like the 1935 Nuremberg laws for civic purity brought forth to the Reich by Dr. Stuckart.  The camps and sterilizations and evacuations didn’t begin for another 7 years.  He drafted laws for the Reich that read eerily similar to this one.  They didn’t open up Auschwitz at the outset.  They implemented these laws of classification like Texas is.  And they started with the people inside their own borders.  Elderly, disabled, gay, trans, Romani, and fatherland born Jews.  They were the first.  Once you legally codify hatred among your own, conquering and extermination “different” people in other lands is a fucking breeze.

It’s classic cis-splaining to a trans person when a cisgender person says an 11 year old they’ve never met is confused when that kid says they are trans over and over and has a medical diagnosis of the same. I didn’t read the concurring opinion it’s too much, but the second sentence yeah it’s cis-splaining. 

but yes this is early days before extermination. And yes LGBTQ folk were exterminated in Germany. 

[YGIFS 19450]

You certainly can identify cis-plaining far better than I can.  I wasn't trying to discount that fact, merely to point out the parallels between this and German Purity Laws and 100 other instances like it, are eerily familiar.  

They never open with, "Let's get the immigrants in that country over there.  And get the gays in that place over there.  And then we'll go for that religious minority across the sea."  That's how they drum up support and get into power.  But the playbook remains the same.  Once you get your own people to turn on one another, going after foreign conquest is a breeze.  

There are a mind-bottling number of people of color, Muslims, LGBTQ+ populations, and women voting for Abbott and Patrick and Paxton and Trump.  And people will weep in the streets for their suffering, exclusion, condemnation, and compression of rights.  And I will not be at the ramp to say "I told you so"...I will be at the depot to smile and simply ask in Anton's voice, "If the rule you followed led you to this, of what use was the rule?"  Some of these people's political decisions are going to get their loved ones in some serious shit and spend their waining moments in utter and total regret.  It's in that last moment, when a person looks back on the folly of their ways and wishes they had to do it all over again.  But they can't.  And regret reaches from inside their soul and tattoos itself all across their face.  When these "leaders" finally out-do one another in the game of intolerable cruelty and there is nobody left to marginalize and vilify.  What do we suppose will happen then?

You are correct. And I don’t usually get hung up on those with no experience telling those with experience how it goes but when a Supreme Court opinion starts like that it pretty much produces a vomit response. These stupid fucking people … 

don’t know one goddamned thing about what it’s like to be 11 years old and trans.
