[QUOTE=Jackald;40623037]I don't understand why she couldn't get her life-saving surgery in the first place? Does the American Government not pay for life-threatening issues via medicare or something?[/QUOTE]
her insurance told her to fuck off due to being trans i believe

[QUOTE=Saza;40623046]unfortunately it seems like it doesn't
but it's unsure if she had insurance [to my knowledge, anyway] so maybe that's why[/QUOTE]
She had insurance, but thanks to fascists like Janice Raymond they can deny coverage to trans people on their own whim.

Uh, this does literally nothing to make FP a hivemind
If this is still a mystery to you, but people who encourage suffering upon others get less sympathy than the victims
What complicated social interaction right
The 2 sides of the internet are being clearly displayed here tonight I think
[QUOTE=SuperDuperScoot;40623018]Way to take something out of context, I don't wish anything upon you other than your understanding which obviously isn't going to happen.
I'm just saying, if you were in the exact same situation, wouldn't you would just rather get it overwith and die than die a more painful manner? Either way you're going to die, wouldn't you rather the less painful approach?[/QUOTE]
suck it up, take it like a man. if you're a good christian man, know that god will take care of you to and after the end, and if you aren't, know that you died with dignity and honor instead of taking the "cowards way out"

that really depends; take a look at many americans. just how many of them are biased against this sort of thing?
unfortunately not everyone's treated equal and while extreme and not always consistent with other cases, this is what happens
and it really breaks my heart when it does; although on a much lesser scale i know what her situation feels like [the whole being shunned thing]
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;40623071]She would have won the shit out of that lawsuit and been set for [I]thousands[/I] of life-saving surgeries.[/QUOTE]
Except it's perfectly legal in most states to deny coverage based on "pre-existing conditions" until 2014 when the ACA makes that illegal.

Calling troll at this point
[QUOTE=Super_Nova;40623051]her insurance told her to fuck off due to being trans i believe[/QUOTE]
It's possible that when the insurance contract was signed he wasn't a transsexual yet and insurances companies are like the biggest fucktards in the universe that will use every opportunity they have to deny you coverage if you change or breach the smallest thing ever specified in the contract. His contract likely specified male and transsexual doesn't fall in that case therefore got fucked.
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;40623071]She would have won the shit out of that lawsuit and been set for [I]thousands[/I] of life-saving surgeries.[/QUOTE]
A case this publicized, win or lose, would either set serious precedents in court, possibly supreme, or have started at the very least very serious talks in politics and society about gender rights that frankly need to happen.

Maybe she forgot to declare that she stubbed her toe in the third grade and was denied because of a preexisting condition.

Being transgendered is a medical condition?
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;40623111]Being transgendered is a medical condition?[/QUOTE]
It's currently defined as a "pre-existing condition" because of the belief that transitioning is a universal desire amongst trans people.
Wait, what was the video? She didn't film herself killing herself, did she? Christ.
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;40623111]Being transgendered is a medical condition?[/QUOTE]
some dumbasses would argue it is, and that is should be "cured"

Crawl back into your hole and die.

Seriously screw off. My best friend died 2 years ago. He was severly depressed and his father died the month before. If you seriously think depression is "the cowards way out", then you are an asshole and need to realize that not everyone's life is easy or great or that people "get over things" as fast as you do.
[QUOTE=ForDaNords;40622963]The links I posted and the Twitch video prove it.[/QUOTE]
hmmm, I don't know, I don't want to be heartless or anything but it all seems a bit suspicious to me
that said there isn't much information now that the twitch channel and the indiegogo campaign are down
Wow looks like the worst of FPs worst is gonna show up. Holy shit I hate this forum.

Get your "God will take care of you." shit [B]out.[/B] People like you who breed that twisted thinking are disgusting. People like you are the reason two kids are dead because their parents wanted to let some fucking fairytale take care of everything, and many others before and many more to come. People like you are the reason people like me are beaten, denied basic human rights, and seen as subhuman. People like you are the reason that people like me and many others are put through immense psychological and often physical abuse and torment and see no recourse but suicide because you never let up. So fuck you, fuck the good christian man, and fuck people like you. Everyone like you, everyone who attacked her for being trans, and everyone else who perpetuates this garbage are pathetic, festering sacks of shit.

The joke is that insurance companies can actually pull shit like this and get away with it. I think I saw something like this on TV once.
