@supermathie lol - that's also a pretty good option.
My goal is to make an ebook reader that will start playing when a CF card is inserted. And then bulk buy 128MB cards and put books on them.
@vaurora TBH, i would gleefully select "ambiguous" as my sex given that option.
My business visa for India lists my sex as "Transgender", which would probably infuriate me if I wasn't nonbinary.
I just have one last thing I really wanna say tbh bc I think this discussion has been good, but it's getting a bit beaten to death
> The problem is that you have only as much choice as you can afford. This leaves millions with only the bare minimum of care. For people working a $20/hour job that's an academic point.
Right, but at least there is the *possibility* of that care if you're able to raise enough money for it, versus it simply being flatly impossible for basically anyone to get that care without being on a multi-year-long waitlist.
It's worse for most people most of the time, but for some people it's better, and I think we do need to think about the fact that centralized healthcare is flawed and doesn't work for everyone, so we don't end up fucking over some people in order to help the majority, and so we can find something much better than either option.
My point going into this was not to say that the American healthcare system is better overall than a centralized healthcare system, but to point out that it is far worse for trans people and in general that that is indicative of the fact that it has important flaws, and so uncritically praising centralized healthcare systems and acting like they are the stopping point is not a good idea.
Plus, I see people doing it a lot and so I wanted to push back on that. It has flaws that go deeper than the few things it happens to contingently be bad at right now.
