> Makes you wonder what all kind of shady medical shit is done in jails and prisons. I've personally watched guards ignore diabetic patients in crisis, and heard them tell arrested, but not yet convicted, people to not declare any medical condition that they need medications for while in custody, because the cops didn't want to drive the arrested persons to the hospital and keep them under observation while they're p…
We have the opposite here (Otago, Aotearoa). I friend and neighbour of mine, on completing their nurses training, went to work at the local prison. The medical care they dispensed there was far above what the prisoners received out side. And we have a good general medical system. The guards may well have been sadistic when away from medical personnel, I cannot say. There are all sorts of problems of all sorts of diff…
> that I despair at the reports I keep getting from the USA. ARe things realy getting that bad?
The US press is pretty good at finding the bad reports. So count them - then count the population, and realize that, while even 1 case is too many, as a percentage, this kind of horrible stuff is very rare.

If you post like this here again we will ban you. Adding a nationalistic flamewar to what is already a gender flamewar is either arson or criminal negligence. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
I am sorry about that. It haven't been thought in a 'nationalistic flamewar' sense or anything like that, text didnt really carry it. So again, sorry.
Appreciated.

#164This doctor must lose their medical license for life. At best they are wildly incompetent, at worst they are maliciously inflicting harm upon a teen for personal or political reasons. Giving estrogen to men usually causes irreversible sterility for life . The doctor would have known this. The pharmacist would have known this. That they chose to proceed with the risk of sterilizing a boy without notifying his parents…
> men pursuing a change in gender are expected to sign their name or initial in the box at least ten times in a row in order to receive their prescription
This is not true, at least not anywhere I've gotten Estradiol.
Also, while I'm sure you intended to be respectful with your comment, most people getting this treatment see themselves as women who are changing their bodies to match their gender, not as men who are changing their gender.

> ARe things realy getting that bad? It's always been this bad, it's just that people who weren't given a voice now have some new means to be heard and are actually being listened to instead of having their experiences discounted and discarded.
How is it possible that the USA can be so rich, and so poor at the same time? How can any body sleep at night?
Please don't post unsubstantive comments like this. It just leads to flamewar, which we don't want here.

And they convince themselves that anyone who is struggling is struggling because of being lazy and not working hard enough. That country could use a good dose of compassion for their fellow humans. But instead they prefer to dehumanize others, and regard others as little more than wild animals.
If you post nationalistic flamebait like this, or other flamebait this egregious, to HN again, we will ban you.
Also, please don't routinely create accounts. This is also in the site guidelines. You needn't use your real name, of course, but for HN to be a community, users need some identity for other users to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...
