hot take: hrt, gender therapy and trans surgeries should be free
if cis people don’t have to pay to have a body that doesn’t make them dysphoric, neither should trans people
So by that logic does that mean that I should get anti-depressants and all the other pills for my mental issues for free because the people who don’t suffer from them don’t have to pay to have them?
yes
And does that mean that corrective lenses should also be free, because people with good vision don’t need to pay to see clearly, and that devices to aid in mobility for people with limited mobility (from crutches to (practical) canes to wheelchairs to prosthetics) should also be free, because people who don’t have limited mobility don’t need to pay for them?
yes? why does everyone in the notes keep trying to come up with gotchas lmao everything to do with healthcare should be free
Then by that logic, healthy food and clean water should be free because without food and water we will die. Also, without water, hygiene will be minimal therefore increasing the chances of disease.
Yes. People should have access to a healthy happy life and the whole point of a society is to support eachother and work together. how brainwashed by capitalism are you to think food and water shouldn’t be free in an ideal world.
this post is such a wild ride every time. ‘so by this logic, people should have free access to the things they need to live and survive?????????’ like yes bitch, all of it !!!

Children of the Moon (1969), and detail. By Johfra Bosschart (1919-1998).
Though Bosschart was Dutch, like me, he’s not very well-known over here. He branded his own work ‘psychic realism’—all those baroque, alien sculptures in his works are really like the fever dreams of the old Dutch masters.
My friend and I were leaving her house in south Florida a few weeks ago when she stopped me to point out this striking moth, as she knew I would definitely want to check it out. Obviously enamored, I did some research and learned so much about this beautiful insect, called the Scarlet Bodied Wasp Moth (Cosmosoma myrodora). Apparently adult males of this species have adapted an insanely badass way of looking out for their mates. On the day when a Scarlet Bodied Wasp Moth chooses to mate, he will find a Dogfennel plant (Eupatorium capillifolium) and use his probiscus to collect pyrrolizidine alkaloids. The intrepid moth will then retain these poisonous toxins until the occasion of his coupling with another of his species. Upon copulation, the male showers the female in a cloud of the toxins, effectively forming a safety bubble to protect the pair from predatory species like the Golden Orb Web spider. Not only is the female inoculated with these defensive compounds, so too are her developing eggs! This process is essential to reducing predation, and eggs that do not receive the pyrrolizidine alkaloids are far more vulnerable. The Scarlet Bodied Wasp Moth is the only known insect to transfer a chemical defense in this way! What a cool moth!
I mean getting the government running is a priority RN. I’m sure Dems will get to it in time
Like they got around to closing Gitmo right?
the bill wasnt to fund ICE by itself the bill was to FUND THE GOVERNMENT PERIOD. Like seriously voting no to stop funding the government specifically to stop ICE from being funded is 1. not actually going to deal with the problem of abolishing ICE and 2. Only will continue to harm those who are affected by the shutdown. Like those whos families need the welfare programs that the bill voted to fund??
If we want to abolish ICE you dont do that by just saying ‘hi i vote to stop funding it’ once?? it takes LEGISLATION and WORK. Not just voting on one bill that isnt even focused on the issue at hand.
this is such a bullshit outrage piece and yall keep falling for it. incredible.
