ok, apart from that I was going through ages-old e-mails and found some attached files I had sent myself from work, after transferring them from a 3.5 floppy that I'd saved them on, and the company still had 3.5 floppy drives....
Your junk drawer must be a 120,000 square foot warehouse.
so the following was a response I'd posted to an old forum going back to the late 90s. Back when weed was still illegal, and I suggested gays were more of a man than pot smoking professionals...

(I didn't want to begin a whole nuther thread for something no one is likely to respond to, so I'm shoving it here because I can. So there!)




Now if we could only find a leader that will admit they've inhaled.
Obama.

Wanna bet?

Is gender reassignment surgery free in Canada?


Most Canadian provinces cover the cost of gender reassignment surgery. However, feminizing surgeries considered cosmetic, such as breast augmentation, voice surgery, Adam's Apple reduction, and facial feminization, are not currently covered by all health insurance programs.

So the provinces pay for it. Thanks for clarifying. Appreciate the support.

The provincial and territorial governments are responsible for the management, organization and delivery of health care services for their residents.

The federal government is responsible for: setting and administering national standards for the health care system through the Canada Health Act.

No, the taxpayers pay for it.

True.

My taxes pay for it. Yours. Everyone's.

And sometimes they're used for things we don't like or may not agree with.

Don't like it, vote people in to change how everything is done.

You can't cherry pick healthcare, Jin. You start to do that and we might as well switch to a system like the US has.

It's *health care*, and not every part of these is covered by medicare.



2. Will my surgery be reimbursed by my province’s health insurance?



Most Canadian provinces cover the cost of gender reassignment surgery. However, feminizing surgeries considered cosmetic, such as breast augmentation, voice surgery, Adam’s Apple reduction, and facial feminization, are not currently covered by all health insurance programs. Each Canadian province has its own reimbursement program. You can find information specific to your province in the Being Trans section of our website or of your provincial government.
If you are a U.S. citizen or from elsewhere in the world, check with the health department of your state or provincial government and/or your own insurance company.
*Some health insurance programs cover certain fees associated with your surgery while others do not.



So not everything is covered by medicare and most people don't get coverage by provinces, they pay out of pocket. And there are only 3 places that offer bottom surgery in Canada.


"Three ways to get coverage

Out-of-pocket


  • Many Canadians choose to pay with their own money to avoid long wait times and gatekeeping for government-funded healthcare and to choose their own surgeon.

Employer coverage


  • Other Canadians get healthcare covered via private employer insurance. Contact your employer’s benefits liaison or human resources department.

Government-funded coverage


Each province handles government-funded coverage differently, so check with your healthcare provider to learn the procedure in your province.


Those seeking subsidized surgeries will need to be approved by your provincial health service. As of 2022, three Canadian clinics offer bottom surgery via government healthcare:



Listings are presented alphabetically by province, with cities under each province also listed alphabetically.


GrS Montréal has been a top Canadian surgical destination for our community for decades. They have the most experience in Canada for most privately funded gender surgeries."



So, all the freaking out about "My taxes pay for it" is just an excuse to bitch and be against trans care.

Well, not mine, but. . .

It perplexes me that people who think their paycheques, which they must be given under law, are THEIR money, and would react violently if one suggested it was still the boss's money, and the boss could tell you how to spend it, cannot get their heads around the fact that when you pay your taxes, as you must under law, the money ceases to be yours and becomes the government's.

Anyway…. It’s a Saturday morning and I’m waiting for the water meter installer to finish up whatever kind of plumbing voodoo he’s doing…. So I can go start mowing lawns…while my Girlfriend is off fishing with our oldest grandson.

Killing some time because the water is off, and for some reason the installer is not comfortable with two pit bulls that are curious about what he’s doing. 😉

I’m temporary entertaining myself with YouTube. Came across a weird comment on one of the videos. Is this a thing?

Are Gay (the G) and Lesbian (the L) people wanting out of the LGBTQ + other consonants and symbols thing? Is this dude just an outlier or is this a bigger movement/preference???

From what I understand, yeah, there are gays and lesbians that want "out", mainly because of the Trans. Not all of them, mind you, but some. Lesbians act out about it way worse, especially in the UK, because they go off on the "men in women's spaces" BS, but also they're on the extreme of not wanting ANY association with men at all. To the point of debate about male children being aborted/denied. *shrug* So I've heard anyway.

It's part of the "groups within the group" thing.

I mean, anyone who's Bi gets it from them too; the whole "Can't you choose" and whatnot.

Funny thing is, these gays and lesbians wouldn't be where they are in society (ie accepted pretty much) without the Trans and backing of Trans people.

It's a cutting their nose to spite their face issue. The "it's irksome to get lumped in under an umbrella term we didn't want" is kind'a bullshit as the whole thing came about because of wanting inclusion; originally it didn't even include T, just GLB.


As much as a lot of us want inclusivity, there's so much infighting in the community that a lot of us just don't bother with it. It's why I don't really take part, and the two-spirit friend I have in Calgary wants nothing to do with any of it.

Yes it sure is. They are not happy with Trans or the pronoun crap.

So, if divisions of Lesbians & Gays (Gay Men I’m assuming) are divided in political opinion from other Lesbians & Gays (again, Gay Men I’m assuming)….should they drop off the front of the LGBTQ+Whatever (minus the vowels I’d assume) thing…& become separate consonants and symbols further back in the2SBTTQQIAAP+++ etc… movement/club thing to the back of the bus until other sub-sects and self-identifying subgroups tacked on at the end push their new letters and symbols back more towards the middle?

Wouldn’t that add clarity? The T-Shirts could have the new anacronym start on the right shoulder and spiral clockwise (unless that’s offensive?) to the left around the torso as many times as needed (?) but saving room to add new letters and symbols when needed? 😁
