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.
I have said for a long time that the number of bisexual people must be huge. All of these right-wingers seem to be equally attracted to men and women, so they're obviously bi and choosing to ignore part of their own sexuality.

The patients sexual orientation does in fact have no influence on their health. The only groups out of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum where you have some "right to deny" healthcare may be trans and intersex people due to them having special conditions and you might not have the knowledge to treat them accordingly. For the rest you are just batshit stupid if you care that much about what people do in their private time.
Yeah, I’m going to echo the other comment - I don’t think doctors should ever be able to deny trans people healthcare. If it’s something out of their expertise, a referral might make sense. But right now there’s a lot of movement towards denying us healthcare, and I don’t think we should be giving that side any more excuses for their bigotry.

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
Well, it's a bit of both. The ostracized nature of 'different' people has spawned several sub-cultures that most 'different' people fall in to to some degree or another.
Not that anything is wrong with either being different or living differently. Hegemonic monocultures are so... fucking... BORING.

I never will understand how somebody gets into any facet of medicine (e.g. nurse, doctor, pharmacist) and find it okay to deny anybody healthcare solely based on how the person lives. Like dude, there are better ways to make money and be a bigot at the same time. Insurance CEO comes to mind. Cannon fodder as well.
Same answer to both; cowardly traditionalist afraid to speak their minds.
From traditional/conservative families which value the status of being a doctor, not the "helping patients" part. Prejudiced.

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.
"Woah this guys a millionaire you say? I'm afraid I cant operate on this man due to his choice to be wealthy."

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.

This culture war nonsense has ruined us. In a humane world a person should be embarrassed and shamed for saying something like 'what if I don't feel comfortable with their lifestyle' - in ANY situation, not to mention a medical one. How about just some basic human decency? What about live and let live? Ideas that we'd all want for ourselves but somehow some of us find it so difficult to afford to others.
And before anyone comes at me with some 'paradox of tolerance' nonsense - no, in the tolerant world I dream of, there is no room for the intolerant. We cannot tolerate the intolerant if we want to live in a tolerant world.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Nah, the paradox of tolerance is exactly about not tolerating the intolerant. The solution is not tolerating the intolerant. It's just called a paradox because to stupid people it sounds contradictory, just like how appropriate self-defense can include offense: Just because someone's throwing punches does not magically make them bad if they didn't start the fight.

Oh nooo, was the hippo OK?

I've even seen it flipped around by the people who invented the term in the first place. "They call it a lifestyle, but that's a euphemism for gross behavior". Well, not those exact words. "Euphemism" has too many syllables for their education level.

On a similar vein, I don't understand doctors who are young earth creationists. Your whole job is understanding biology.

Moo deng noooooooo!

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.
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.

This.
There are so, so many doctors who ended up in the profession merely for the prestige.
Doctors aren't smarter than everyone else, they just had the resources to be able to study for more years.

Oh, I'm well aware. Not once have I ever been tempted to tickle a pickle that wasn't my own. I've never struggled with homosexual thoughts. If I had I can almost promise I'd be face down in a whole pile of dicks right now.
I was quoting, as accurately as I could, a dipshit I know. I haven't seen him since high school, right after I left the church, but this always stuck with me. I knew that pastor as well. That guy talked all the time about how Satan was going to make everyone gay and how he was tempted so he understood what the youth was going through. I remember being 14 and wondering when I'd get secret gay thoughts because of this dude. Apparently I was so steeped in sin that Satan didn't feel the need to make me want to gobble cocks as well.
It's a damn shame because I think I would have made an excellent gay guy.

Damn straight. Same thing for pharmacists or any other health official.

This was or maybe even still is a thing. My grandpa was forced to wear a sock on his left hand when learning to write as a child. He would be hit if he didn't.
Human beings were obviously a terrible idea.

They gradually do not choose to be themselves? I don’t understand.

Student: B-but what if I can't stand the sight of blood!?
Republicans: we hereby decree that physicians needing to see blood is part of the woke agenda. Henceforth we will be removing this requirement from all curricula.
