I have had really bad depression for the last 10 years of my life. I have been unhappy and missed out on a so much, despite this I never committed crime because I'm not a self absorbed asshole, tell me why am I, less deserving of the country bending over backwards to pay 30-40k to help me?

Hell it would've taken much much less, just somebody to talk to at all times, but instead I lost years alone and afraid, and nobody fought to help me get better.

Prison is unpleasant. Unless you will die without medical care, it's not really the prison's problem.

It's moronic that criminals would get better care than law abiding people.

Well said. This idea of coddling criminals in prison is ridiculous. Unless its gonna kill them in there, they can take care of it on their own dime once theyve served their time.

Another wrong opinion.

Shit, if that's coming from you, that makes it correct

So why do you think hardened criminals are more entitled to non-critical care paid for by the government than law abiding citizens? What a ridiculous stance.

I don't, and have never said anything close to that. That's just your horribly illogical response to it.

Cis people who have expressed disbelief in the genuine identity of transgender people also saying that it's an unnecessary surgery? Jeez, that's a surprise.

It's necessary. Of course a prison doctor might not think it necessary, they also aren't likely qualified to discern the needs of a transgender patient.

Everyone who needs it should be able to receive it. For free, really. Saying "oh but she's a prisoner" and using other people who can't afford it while not actually advocating for any change that will cover it for people is pretty much sending the message that you probably don't actually like that trans people are getting surgery at all.

I advocate for change. I think this country needs universal health care and that includes srs. I just don't think someone should get it for free simply because they're in jail. It's necessary, but it isn't urgent. It can wait until she gets out and can make arrangements to get it on her own. Like 99% of people undergoing srs do.

Exactly. People (other than transphobes) aren't arguing she shouldn't have the procedure, just that, until we have universal healthcare, the prison/government shouldn't have to pay for it.

If I were in charge of the prisons, I'd be more than willing to let her have the surgery if she's paying for it herself, and I think she should be in a women's prison whether she has the surgery or not.

And those 99% of people you mentioned, they represent a minority of all trans people who actually need it. So. Maybe don't use the people who are the exception as some shining example while also alleging that you want universal health care AND being opposed to somebody getting the surgery paid for. It's at least 2 layers of incompatible paradigms.

While the sentiment is admirable, you see a lot of people making that argument while opposing universal healthcare. Not saying you do necessarily, but that I'm very suspicious of that argument for that reason.

America doesn't even have free health care in life threatening situations. I think that's a higher priority.

In this case proper medication should be provided. Not sure how expensive hormone treatment is, but that sounds like a more reasonable request.

Wut

Yes they are.

Police roll up, throw them in cars/vans, throw them in locked rooms, drag them to a courthouse (sometimes) then drag them to another locked room then make them work against their will.

That's literally abduction, just state supported abduction.

the action of forcibly taking someone away against their will.

More people should have access to health care in general as well as srs in particular. I agree. I just don't think someone should be moved to the head of the line simply because they're in jail.

No I do not.

We would have to get into a long, drawn-out argument about what "necessary" means.

If I hurt myself or get sick, is it necessary I go to the doctor? You could argue it is (and you probably would), but I might simply heal on my own.

It is "necessary" in that srs generally improves a transgender person's mental health. But it is not necessary in that they will die without it (they won't). So she can wait until she's released. It's not urgent. Which is what I said.

We disagree. You feel one way, I feel the other. It's not going to change on either side. Stop trying to "gotcha!" me.

As stated the logic support rape culture , it supports big government, it ignored individual will and calls people liars

Claiming people volunteered, agreed and consented to do things against their will that you literally physically forced them to do while resisted but were overpowred is evil.
