I’m a visible transgender woman and meaning I don’t pass as a woman aesthetically. I’ve spent several years fighting the healthcare system & insurance provider but no prevail. I can see a transgender woman in Toronto managed to get funding in a few days using GoFundMe. She looks gorgeous in her picture and I’m surprised she doesn’t pass. I’m not sure how I feel about it, somewhat happy for her and frustrated personally. Seems like everything is painfully pointless when it comes to decency in society. Everything is a battle to keep the poor close to suicide it feels like.

- sysbin 7y agoIDK, a lot of people on HN seem to understand from comments I've read, that the healthcare & insurance system are needed to be overhauled. The GoFundMe did help a woman in great pain of life being too challenging to finance her surgeries and when every other system designed to help is denying the treatments that should be medically necessary. I could even say the healthcare & insurance system are currently designed for having a person live a hellish life. They don't care even if a person has a letter from a doctor saying the surgeries are medically necessary from my experience. It would be nice if people that downvote actually express why. HN used to be that way several years ago. I enjoyed learning who I'm dealing with when it comes to people against my insight in life; as I think anybody does.
