    If your health system is taking 6 years to provide people with a hormone prescription it’s clearly complete dog shit. Frankly sounds more like a warcrime than a health service. I don’t think that making the care it provides worse for miniorities is going to fix how fucked up it is for everyone else. Maybe try fixing the system itself instead of punishing people for failing to conform to bullshit standards designed to deny care.

    Classifying things which are neccessary care as “cosmetic” is how things are gatekept in our for-profit healthcare, as opposed to hand-wringing about misdiagnosis in service of cruel austerity.

      I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I did say we should focus on fixing the system overall. Our healthcare system is NOT for-profit. You’re wrong about that.

        I know it’s not for profit, I explained how classifications are used under our for profit system to do the same things you do under your alleged healthcare system.

          This is a UK politics thread on the UK politics sub on the UK based instance. What do you mean by “our”. If you’re one of those trumpian interfering yanks, then admit it.
