I'm not a vegan but I think you are completely biased here.

The vast majority of vegans that you know are the ones who are vocal about it. Most vegans aren't, and so they are overrepresented by those who are.

Could have been a moving story if it weren't ruined by casual misogyny.

Jokes on you I've had fibromyalgia since my early 20s.

Anyone else here in the chronic pain club?

Yeah, so is your 'decade of experience of trying to get a correct diagnosis' then.

What ever doesn't fit your world view must be a lie to you. What a tough way to live.

Not wanting to die of medical neglect is a reason, not an excuse.

I don't need excuses or your permission to not kill myself.

You don't seem to understand what a systemic issue is if you think this is because of a few 'local physicians' or just one case of 'malpractice'. If you think this is something that can be resolved from looking for 'one competent doctor', you have no idea how impossible it is to find a team of 1 PCP and 5 specialists who all happen to give a shit, and what to do when you need to go to the ER which is another hellhole of it's own.

You can come back to this discussion when you show some understanding of how extensive this issue is.

See the other comment.

instead of going through, y'know the medical system which has checks and balances for this purpose.

This is the single dumbest take on healthcare I have ever heard. You've clearly never had to deal with extensive medical issues or chronic illnesses, or you're a straight white guy in your 30s and have the privilege of being believed by your doctor.

I've been forcefully misdiagnosed with 'anxiety' by so many doctors who wouldn't listen to me. No one gave a shit until I threatened to report them to the medical board. That's the only time they took my symptoms seriously and bothered to do a blood test, where they were proven wrong. No amount of sorry from them will undo the damage they've done.

This was one of 5 incidences where I had to advocate for my own health against the doctor's preconceptions because theywould rather diagnose me based on my age and gender rather than my symptoms.

Medical gaslighting is a pervasive issue that disproportionately affects women, POC, young people, and LGBTQ. It's a systemic issue that kills people through medical neglect. I would be dead by now had I not fought this hard for my own diagnoses.

The fact that you think modern health care is some pristine and fully reliable process instead of the shit show it is just speaks of how little you've had to deal with. Sit down and check yourself before taking about ignorance.

Read the rest of the comments here before you comment. Everyone is bashing 23andMe users and the bubble they live in while the irony is completely lost on them.

Your so called 'obvious reasons' are anything but obviously to the average lemmy user who will find every excuse to feel superior about their niche privacy loving community with no clue how the real world works.

I am a 23andMe user, and yes I voluntarily sent them my DNA sample. Shit on me all you want. You probably don't have to live with multiple genetic conditions, chronic illnesses, and have a family history of several more.

Must be nice to be privileged with a healthy body and to get to care about privacy concerns instead wondering which genetic condition you'll die of first.

He literally said he was spanked on the butt without his consent. No assumptions were made here period.

This is the reason why male sexual assault isn't taken seriously, and why male victims have even less recourse then female victims. Anytime a man is assaulted, it's always brushed off as 'it's not a big deal' or 'it doesn't count cause she's a girl' or 'man up and just take it', often by other men. It's as if consent stops mattering if you have a penis or are male identifying.

Imagine if the genders were reversed and how outraged you would be. As a woman who has had this exact thing done to me before, I know. It's not a matter of how much it hurts to be spanked, it's a matter of losing your agency over your own body and feeling like a piece of meat.

She sexually assaulted you. Spanking back probably wasn't the right response, but reporting her and calling her out for it would be.

Not worth it trust me bro.

What about people who are hard of hearing?

You're either someone who forgot to put a /s or billionaire boot licker.

No one is trying to 'make it a race thing'. It was already 'a race thing' and we are actively trying to un-race it.

You and I being unaware of the partially racial origins of these terms (yes, I just learned about this too), doesn't erase the implications of these words and how it can be hurtful to some people.

There's no such thing as anti-wokeness, only willful ignorance. We can be better people than that.
