Well the conservative laws regarding abortion and fertility drugs for one. I’m from a fairly conservative (until recently) state. And even we would consider the restrictions proposed or I guess now enacted to be a bit too far. I couldn’t tell you the specifics since I’m not American lol, but I...
Well honestly?
Many of the policies championed or even petitioned by the politicians seem kind of overly intrusive to me.
Again this may be down to cultural differences and what is primarily shown to the outside world, so I’m not claiming this is necessarily accurate. Full disclaimer!!!
But I...
I think I largely agree with you here.
That said, I always found many aspects of US politics to be seemingly intrusive. But that might just be a cultural difference. Not sure. :shrug:
Interesting.
There does seem to be quite a bit of acknowledgement of folks who didn’t exactly “fit into a binary” in quite a few ancient cultures. Granted such folks were not always treated well by said culture. But acknowledged all the same.
I’ve picked that much up in my geeking out on my...
That’s fair enough.
My coworkers often commented that I was exceedingly polite because I used those terms for all customers, even if I had to blame a mistaken one on a hangover to avoid drama lol
Truth be told, such terms for me were like a huge novelty lol
See in Indian (and I’m sure most...
Lol I used those terms religiously in retail. But I think due to how young I was (teen early 20s) and how tired I looked (and being that I live in Australia lol) everytime I got it wrong, the usual response was
“Big night, eh? Have some more water, love, you’ll be right.”
Very handy get out of...
Yes, I would say so.
In fact my own cultural background (on my mother’s side) seems to see it this way. Perhaps not with the term “intersex”, per se. As that’s an English term.
But the Hijra or “third sex” are probably a close-ish enough translation.:shrug:
And truth be told, the concept of a...
I’m fairly certain biologists and sexologists treat intersex as it’s own seperate category though. The specifics over what constitutes intersex are often debated over, since science can be rather well overly specific. But it is classed as it’s own thing. I mean granted the term is an umbrella...
Damn. That sucks.
I suppose even under the Government system, some tests could be padding and used in order to “look good” to the Royal Commission. (That’s who oversees and maintains medical standards here.)
That said, I’d rather they test properly and overtly rather than like you say, withhold...
I think you made my head spin far more effectively than any whisky/bourbon out there.
I think I’ll just leave you guys to sort this all out, if that’s okay? Lol
Interesting
There is a similar sentiment held by folks here over the amount of tests ordered. Seemingly something used to justify the costs. In both systems, but I hear it more often in the private sector, if I’m honest.
See, Australia’s system is actually rather complicated as we do have a...
Not in countries outside the US though.
Doctors in all industrialised nations (outside the US) work as literal tax funded workers. The same as road workers or even teachers.
They might act a little hesitant sometimes, depending on various factors. Including politics. But they continuously use...
