Why won't the politicians just leave us alone and focus on real crime in this country? I have already had to cancel my bottom surgery last year because my insurance (BCBSTX) said no.

 

Honestly, I couldn't agree more with this. I wish that the politicians in the US would leave us alone and focus on real issues that are plaguing this country instead of trying to dogpile us with hateful rhetoric. This type of stuff honestly keeps me up a lot at night. The state I live in has gotten particularly bad as of late. They've passed a couple nasty anti LGBTQ bills or they're at least being considered in the state capital as far as I know. 

 

I've also been trying to get the process started with my own gender affirming surgery (top surgery) and have had to forgo the process three times already because of insurance saying no. So now I've decided to save my money and am gonna put it towards moving to a blue state where I hopefully will have a little easier time getting top surgery and just living life as a trans man in general. Nobody should have to consider this as an option just to live their live lives in relative peace. 

 

I'm sorry you've been having a hard time. That's not fair to you or anybody else going through similar situations.

Oof, yeah. I just realized that you're from Iowa. One of my new friends is a refugee from there. She specifically moved because she saw which way the wind was blowing and got outta Dodge as it were. Best of luck sweetie!

 

Hugs!

Believe me, I'm looking to get the hell outta Dodge here myself. I'm currently saving up to move and then I'll get the gender affirming surgeries I want to get when I move. I'm hoping to move to a more trans friendly state because it is getting bad here. Your friend was smart. I hate the thought of leaving the state I grew up in but...at the same time....I want to move somewhere where I can feel a little safer. Not saying life will be perfect but...I'm hoping to get a fresh start.

From what I have read and heard, soon there will not be a place to go as long as religious leaders have the ears and attention of the politicians. I have tried to get people to see that the politician's strings are being controlled by religious leaders who are bent on controlling the world thoughts and because we do not accept the full lies of what they push we are a threat to them winning the control of the world. They have asked for our heads on the chopping block or backs to the wall in front of a firing squad. There is only one way to battle this injustice and that is to have a transgender person in a high ranking position in all areas of government. That is the only way our words will be heard and respected and the lies silenced. There is no other way. As long as religion has the government's strings, we are speaking to deaf ears. The red states don't care what laws the feds create to protect us from discrimination, the states create laws to hurt us and to not only demonize us but also criminalize us. Our only chance is to stop the lies from within the governments.

Political cess pool . But, I also want to do my homework and find in-network and take the next steps.

I don't believe that the government will be a solution. In fact, government is merely a tool of enslavement most of the time. Electing some transgender dictator won't be any better than having a dictator of any other type.

 

The ultimate solution is one that I'm not sure can exist at this point. We need an understanding I'm on people both nationally and globally that the highest good is to stay out of one another's business. At the moment, we seem to have a population composed mostly of busybodies.  Since government tends to be like a pond where the scum floats to the top, it is only natural but they will display the worst traits of our population. Both Democrats and Republicans appear to be obsessed with regulating what we drive, how we live, our energy sources, what's in our refrigerators, and what we do in our bedrooms.
