I cannot describe how much I laughed at this.

Sound is VERY important.

white people will literally be like if u arent nice to me Im going to become a nazi. and think they’re making a great argument

[uptownthots]

this stupid shit has been around for so long and it’s crazy to me there are still people with enough rocks in their brain to believe it. “Oughhhhh if you aren’t nice to you oppressors they’ll become bigots instead of allies” if someone’s support for marginalized groups hinges entirely on whether or not that group is niceys, they’re by definition not effective or useful allies and, by admission of this argument, an active danger to the communities theyre supposed to be allied with because they can Enter Bigot Mode the second they become displease

"trans people just name themselves after characters" as opposed to cis people who name their children after names in the bible

about to say something mean but i feel like every "male-specific" issue is something that also happens to women its just that a lot of you dont seem to see women as people

[termagax]

women are also feeling lonely and alienated from communities en masse women are also expected to stifle their mental health for the sake of perfomance at work, in relationships, for children ect women are also expected to work extremely hard to maintain a perfect body and perfect health and are punished for being fat/having hair loss/having health issues especially those that affect ones sex life women are also insecure women are also neglected by parents and teachers and authority figures women are also scrutinized for having emotions and punished for not meeting the gendered expectations of our class and expected to climb upwards and overcompensate while being punished for signs of poverty and we get the added bonus on top of, yknow, being women. your emotional issues are not a Crisis Attacking Manhood theyre the way our society is fucking built you just dont see women as people

Covered in Theory, Denied in Practice

My Five-Month Battle for Reimbursement of a Covered Expense

Hey! One of my partners wrote a really good blog about fighting with Cigna.

My insurance plan covers laser facial hair removal as a gender-affirming procedure for transgender people. My partner, a trans woman who is on my insurance, got this procedure done, and getting it reimbursed was like pulling teeth.

Representatives of my health insurance company, Cigna Healthcare, told me falsely that my plan didn't cover the procedure when I called them to ask about my claim. Even after I got my employer's Human Resources department involved, Cigna continued to lie to me and deny my claim despite the terms of my plan. It took me five months, 12 phone calls, 3 emails, and an HR ticket to get my claim reimbursed.

[facelessoldgargoyle]

Currently, most people get insurance through their employers, because it's much cheaper than buying insurance on the open market. The insurance company's revenue is determined by their relationships with employers, not patients. In other words, the employer, not the patient, is the customer.

This is why I had to contact HR in order to get any meaningful progress on my claim. When the employer is the customer, the employer must be involved in any claims process complicated enough to require human judgment. This means the patient must disclose private medical information to their employer, which can expose them to discrimination. I was lucky in this case, because I'm already out at work and the procedure wasn't for me, but I still had to pass personal medical information through a member of my employer's HR team. If I were a trans woman getting my own laser reimbursed, this process would have forced me to out myself to my employer.* Ideally, there would be no such thing as employer-sponsored health insurance at all.

*Applications of this dynamic to other types of claims, such as disability care and fertility treatments, are left as an exercise to the reader.
