    I never will understand how somebody gets into any facet of medicine (e.g. nurse, doctor, pharmacist) and find it okay to deny anybody healthcare solely based on how the person lives. Like dude, there are better ways to make money and be a bigot at the same time. Insurance CEO comes to mind. Cannon fodder as well.

      This was or maybe even still is a thing. My grandpa was forced to wear a sock on his left hand when learning to write as a child. He would be hit if he didn’t.

    The absolute gall they have to call it a “lifestyle” like people choose to live that way one day

    It’s not a fucking lifestyle, LGBTQ+ people just are and they exist

    They don’t choose to suddenly be that way one day, they have been that way their entire life and discover that about themselves

          M137 understood what I meant.

          I believe that people are born with the same primitive instincts as everyone else, (survive and reproduce) but they gradually begin to develop their own feelings and sense of being. Some natural, some by trauma, etc, overcoming the expectations of your parents being the biggest hurdle.

          I’m just simply saying that people aren’t born knowing they’re a part of that community until they’ve come to a realization or a spark.

          Just my opinion. Just how I observed a family member and his experiences. Sadly, no one accepted him and he’s gone now. But I read his journals about how he felt, came to being, etc afterwards. Just wanted to understand.
