Yup the advice was super dismissive and rude. I’m not entirely sure Jane Marie even read it. LW explicitly said she is not getting what she wants, which is a man who wants a future with her.

The 54 days a year include sick leave, right? Or is this just time off gratis?

Yup this explains those bulgin calves.

OMG I would totally do that. You need new girlfriends, girlfriend!

That is a good attitude in the moment, but it is only half the picture. You need to take transgender people at their word throughout the process.

Way to be open to new thoughts! Glad you’ve come to the light and are now trying to take trans people at their word. But perhaps I was not specific enough. In my example, the idea was the woman did indeed identify as a woman but was dressing up as a man which is how trans people sometimes describe how they feel before…

If a woman dressed as a man told you her name was Bob and served you a cup of coffee would you say later that no matter what the person that served you the coffee WAS A MAN because she was dressed like a man and gave a man’s title? No. Woman all along, just with a different outward appearance and a different name than…

It goes without saying that you shouldn’t fuck an MRA.

Lana and probably Lilly (thought I haven’t read as much from her) were trans from childhood. It’s not a switch that gets flipped. It’s a persistent detachment from your assigned gender that can take a lifetime to work through.

Or maybe she was like “Sure I’ll do it, when pigs fly!!!”

It’s a very very complicated question weighed against your mental health and your likelihood of recovering. “I’m afraid of doctors” or “I don’t have money” would almost assuredly not be considered sufficient to not treat you for a life threatening condition. If you have a death wish they would hold you for care and…

She undoubtedly signed a consent form that entailed emergency treatments such as C-sections that she couldn’t opt out of even before she went into labor.

And if I walked in bleeding abdominally but otherwise coherent and said I didn’t want surgery even if that’s the only way to save my life take a wild guess what would happen to me.

Your trepassing argument is not at all applicable to medicine.

You can be admitted to a hospital and force fed and hooked up to ivs and given all sorts of treatment you didn’t want if you are considered a risk to yourself.

Again, doctors always hedge. Your argument that “could” indicates a lack of sufficient evidence would be easily disproven in court. If the plaintiff chooses to go the route of proving she didn’t actually need the C-section, they will need to get the labs and telemetry and compare them to existing data on rates of…

There are local and national guidelines for care that help a doctor decide, but in the end the requirement is the doctor judging the adverse outcome likely enough to warrant the solution, assuming the doc has the privilege of making the decision for you. Judgment can change doctor to doctor because they are all humans…

Doesn’t mean anything. Doctors always hedge. The strongest language you’ll get in a clinical note is “almost certainly” or “99% chance”.

I will be the first to admit that I have placed unreasonable and unattainable conditions on things that I say I will do but have no inclination or intention of actually doing just to not have to say no (or to see if they actually will agree).

They’re kind of turned inward but they are white and otherwise even and more charming than ugly (I puked saying that btw). His new ones we can agree are cartoonish and predatory.
