This is actually genocidal right? Like that's not hyperbole to say that there is an active genocide against trans people being carried out in Florida?
It became a genocide when DeSantis signed a bill allowing children to ne taken away from their trans parents, or parents who allowed their child to transition.
This is full mask off though.
we've been saying it's a genocide for a while now. it was never hyperbole.
Wheres the UNHCR or Amnesty on this?
Or are they too fucking busy looking at random concrete buildings in Xinjiang and calling them death camps
It was already impossible to uphold in America's for-profit medical system
FeinBERG (edited, not to be confused with FeinSTEIN) talks about this in Beyond Pink and Blue - something about how deaths caused by hate crimes weren't logged in apartheid South Africa when they were crimes such as a black man turning up in critical condition to a hospital, only for the racist white man to refuse him treatment. The man dies - his cause of death logged as kidney failure, when truly his cause of death was racial hatred. If I remember correctly, Feinberg talks about times their own illnesses were exacerbated by feckless or prejudiced doctors who refused treatment on the grounds of medical transphobia.
CW transphobia, suicide
I actually have direct experience with this exact thing, about 10 years ago when I was in my first couple years of transitioning I lived in rural Appalachia and was in a car accident, had the first responders, medical professionals at the hospital, and investigating officer all question if I was trying to kill myself after I disclosed I was on HRT + I'm visibly trans, with a nurse telling me that my HRT made my injuries worse (bold faced lie) so I can 100% understand hir's position, obligatory death to America. Even though it was a no-fault accident, I ended up getting the blame for it after they said I intentionally crashed the vehicle (another bold faced lie) took many years to recover mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially.
Feinberg arguably died due to these bad experiences with doctors leading hir to avoid treatment.
a law that allows healthcare providers or payors to deny service on the basis of “a conscience-based objection,”
Super duper cool.
Honestly feel like if I was a bystander and a paramedic refused to treat a trans person for being trans I would do everything in my power to make that paramedic require another paramedic for himself
Isn't there some other apocalyptic fate for Florida that won't kill all those delightful frogs?
:the-plan: Start an organized religion based on the teachings of John Brown
bit idea, a christian scientist who gets to be hired on at a hospital because to do otherwise is reLigiOuS diScriMinAtion---refuses treatment to everyone except people with toothaches who get morphine
my religious beliefs are that all christians are subhuman, i am now allowed to deliberately commit medical malpractice on them
The video also featured Dr. Stella Immanuel, a pediatrician and religious minister who has said that “demonic seed” inserted into sleeping individuals causes endometriosis and ovarian cysts.
So it was YOU?
Some people cite Deuteronomy 22:5 as an argument against trans people
I cite it as an argument against Christianity
100%, first they came or us LGBTQ+ , next on Florida's list that they've actively been working on is non-white minorities.
How soon before Cuban gusanos start regretting their choices?
Wasn't this kind of thing already found illegal by federal courts back around 2015 when there was all kinds of resistance to Obergefell v. Hodges?
nobody cares anymore since they know the federal government is feckless
Is the name of the EMTs that refused to save the life of a trans patient available anywhere?
Something something :fedposting:
They're referring to an older case cw:racism, transphobia :
Tyra Hunter (1970 – August 7, 1995) was an African-American hairdresser and transgender woman who died after being injured as a passenger in a car accident. Hunter transitioned at 14 and lived her adult life as a woman.[2] The District of Columbia was found responsible for her death, due to not delivering medical care,[3] and for violations of the DC Human Rights Act during her treatment.
Description of the "rescue" CW: transphobia, racism
According to witnesses, a male firefighter helping Hunter stopped and backed away laughing upon discovering that she had a penis, and saying "this bitch ain't no girl...it's a n****r, he's got a dick".[5] Two other witnesses corroborated the comment, but the description of the technician varied.[1] He continued derogatory comments and joking with other firefighters while leaving her untreated.[1][4]: 234 Bystanders requested them to resume treatment, but they did not do so until a supervisor arrived three to seven minutes later.[4]: 234 Fire department officials disputed these, saying that medics never stopped treating her and, while a derogatory comment was made, she couldn't have been saved.[1] Otis J. Latin Sr., the D.C. fire chief, said that they couldn't determine who made the comment, and nobody was disciplined.[1]
ER staff at DC General Hospital subsequently "failed to diagnose Hunter's injuries and follow nationally accepted standards of care."[6] Hunter died about an hour after arriving,[4]: 234 and two hours after the crash.[1]
Dana Priesing, a transgender activist[10] observing the trial, wrote that the evidence supported "the inference that a stereotype (namely that Hunter was an anonymous, drug-using, transgender street person) affected the treatment Tyra received," and that the "ER staff, as evidenced by their actions, did not consider her life worth saving."[11] Adrian Williams, one of the EMTs who had neglected to treat Hunter, testified that he assumed she was a man on sight, "failing to notice that she had breasts, make-up, women's clothing, a woman's hairstyle, and white nail polish."[11] One DC General employee, after being subpoenaed, left for Africa and did not return until late December 1998.[11] In the end, none of the EMTs involved were ever disciplined.[7]
Doctors at DC General failed to diagnose and treat Hunter who died of internal bleeding in the hospital emergency room. Evidence at the trial demonstrated that had Hunter been provided with a blood transfusion and referred to a surgeon, she would have had an 86% chance of surviving.[12] In subsequent negotiations the case was settled for $1.75m.[13]
excited to see this come back, except no lawsuits are going to follow :sadness-abysmal:
The family of the victim is more likely to end up in prison than the murderers
I know the word ghoul gets tossed around a lot here (I'm guilty as the next) but this is one of the cruelest things in my living memory. I am ashamed to live in this fucking country.
Unfortunately, they know that to any meaningful extent this cruelty fetish only goes one way.
Tumblr tried to even return INSULTS right back to sender and was brutally punished by the entirety of the internet for daring to resist the CHUDs.
Basically how the right is winning culture war after culture war. All the "heheh dumb dumb SJWs and their pronouns" come from talking about how bad tumblr is for treating reactionaries exactly how they treat everyone else.
