Professor's got it right

May I tell you the story of my wife, a doctor, who send us to her parents in lockdown, worked her ass of in full protection a couple of hundred kilometers south, seeing our two little kids only at the weekends, if there were absolutely no symptoms and she didn’t have a shift the day before, for month? When she didn’t not have to work, she sat alone in our flat contemplating on the newly dead people who where to young to die.
Wearing a fucking mask was not the part that sucked during lockdown.
I really dont think they meant the masks sucked. I think they meant more like what you just described.

"You know what I'm talking about; the homosexual fantasies the devil constantly sends into everyone's heads since they became teenagers. Those ones. ... What do you mean 'no'?"
Tangentially related, or at least it made me think of it.
Orson Scott Card said this:
Ender’s childhood is based, albeit loosely, on my own; his relationship with Peter and Valentine is based, not on my actual relationship with my older brother and sister, but rather on the way I conceived those relationships to be when I was Ender’s age. Ender’s revised understanding of Peter late in life parallels in emotion the same revision I went through in my teens as I discovered… my childish view of my older brother was hopelessly wrong
For those that don't know, Peter abused the hell out of Ender. Not a huge spoiler. Another time he said this:
The dark secret of homosexual society … is how many homosexuals first entered into that world through a disturbing seduction or rape or molestation or abuse
Then he went on to write several of the same character. Either homosexual or asexual who takes a wife in order to raise children. But it's literally never about the woman. Anton was mostly open about his sexuality but married a woman. Ender had no sexual urges (there was a lot of underage homo-adjacent stuff and some sister stuff, but not necessarily gay) until he married. And did he marry her for her? Nope. The first thing he thinks of is how her 6 kids need him. Ansset is gay and married a woman. It's pretty obvious he believes a lot of folks are gay because they were abused and it's pretty obvious he was abused. And he believes those men should get married and raise children because that's the highest calling.
I'm not usually a "homophobic means closeted homosexual" but I'm of the firm belief that Card is so far in the closet he's finding Christmas presents.

The absolute gall they have to call it a "lifestyle" like people choose to live that way one day
It's not a fucking lifestyle, LGBTQ+ people just are and they exist
They don't choose to suddenly be that way one day, they have been that way their entire life and discover that about themselves
Here's the thing, whether or not it's a "lifestyle" shouldn't even enter into the equation. Healthcare workers are supposed to treat everyone the same, regardless of what the patient has done or how they live. If you can't deal with that, don't go into healthcare.

On the one hand you're 1000% right but man it must've sucked so much ass being a nurse during COVID, I probably would've been close to snapping 24/7.
man it must’ve sucked so much ass being a nurse during COVID
Hands down, no question. It was still the early days, april 2020, so I am a bit less forgiving than later in 2020. Nurses already got the short end of the medical stick even before covid
this instance was just particularly memorable.

I know. It was more a post covidal rant at the nurses. Even if you are at your limit those masks are self protection.

No this is literally it though. They think being gay is a choice because they’re repressed, and constantly feel tempted. They assume everyone feels that, and only gay people give in.
wrote last edited by [email protected]This. When I was a kid, I thought every man in the world had this envy of womanhood and that was the reason women were oversexualized in media, because men wished they looked like that.
That it was just quietly accepted.
Heck in Who Framed Roger Rabbit I thought the line "You don't know how hard it is being a man, looking at a woman, looking the way you do." Was a direct reference to the natural Venus Envy of the male gender.
Nope just my trans ass misinterpreting an erection joke because its the 90s and families and media both aren't allowed to talk about gender with any nuance yet.
The various "Girl Power! Women can do anything!" Tropes were also something young me misinterpreted as "Venus Envy" being the natural state of society. Like women knew they were "superior" and were flaunting it to be mean.
Sexism against women? Young me doesn't know what that is or why fighting it is important. Believed in sexism against men though.. I was so dumb and confused.

Someone being LGBT doesn't mean McDonald's is allowed to refuse them service, or ESSO is allowed to refuse to sell them gas, or a gym can refuse them membership. Why the fuck do you think a doctor should be allowed to refuse them treatment for a disease?
-
Apparently in Tennessee it is now legal for doctors there to simply not treat people they don't agree with their "lifestyle".
Couldn't pay me enough to live in a red state. Might as well move to a third world country for how backwards they all are.
I'm in a red state. All we do is look at the blue states and weekly Whisper "help us"

i dont know who or what to blame but some healthcare professionals are among the most cruel members of society
Some think they know biology sooo well, and that LGBTs are anomalies not worthy of life
-
what about uniformed nazis or uniformed zionists?
"So who can I refuse treatment to?"
"That's the neat part. You don't."

That would be like if you were in IT and had a phobia of keyboards…. or screens.
BRB claiming disability
Edit: or I would be back if that didn't blow my cover

Ooh I love this analogy! And LTBT+++ would be "but I don't like users with trackballs instead of a mouse"
It's absurd.

Doesn't this fall under the Hippocratic oath anyways? Or am I mistaken

"He resisted his homosexual urges, and remained faithful to his heterosexual wife until the very day he shot himself."
Something like this is what encouraged my wife's conservative grandmother to reconsider her thoughts on the topic. She heard about a gay teen who committed suicide and asked "if it was a choice, why wouldn't they just choose not to be gay instead of killing themselves?"
-

never have refused. never will.

The oath is a promise, not a law. People break promises all the time.

Don't feel too bad, I once had a ticket come across my desk for HIPPO violations. It took half the day to figure out what they were talking about.
HIPPO violations? You'd think those websites would be blocked by the firewall.

Or move to Tennessee.
They want doctors who hurt the people they don't like.

And Mengele's skeleton is a teaching tool at the University of São Paulo, cause it's the most ironic thing they came up with.
Somebody at the university must've been a john deere fanboy.
