wound up having one of those “longer than it should have been” conversations with an outgoing nurse during shift handoff because she was very confused as to why the patient would change their gender but also pursue relationships with the sex opposite to that which they were assigned at birth. I finally just said “she 👏 wants 👏 to 👏 be 👏 a 👏 lesbian 👏” and I hate to admit that it still absolutely sent me when she said “oh. well did anybody tell her she didn’t have to be?”

me every time I remember Randall Munroe exists:

fun fact this quote (originally Steven Crowder) is how I tagged the personality traits traditionally associated with the aries star sign (and for those that do deeply identify with Astrology I would like to point out that I am personally an Aries, at least sidereally, and my sidereal chart is much more true to me personally). Also to attribute this quite honestly hilarious quote to crowder I think it’s also important to reproduce it with the typos intact. They give substance to the quote in much the same way as Spiders Georg who is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

“first they came for the socialists” and all, yes.

yeah I was gonna say just off the top of my head TERFs.

there have been several cases over the years of people plowing their car into the ER waiting room when the heat attack / stroke finally gets too severe.

no visitors also means there’s no one to provide medical history or advocate for you if you become too sick to speak for yourself. So you do need at least one person who can be trusted to also uphold the same level of secrecy for your benefit. MUTUAL AID, PEOPLE. The community needs to resist.

Now that said all of this is gonna go fits up once they gut EMTALA and it becomes legal to hold off on CPR until they can rifle through your wallet for an insurance card.
