There's a concerted push to weaponize medical billing against trans people and their healthcare.
Using alternate billing codes for coverage is ubiquitous across the medical system for all kinds of care. This is not unique to trans healthcare but it's being portrayed as such to target access to it.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Bit depressing to think about if somehow there are more elections and somehow Democrats get into power that no one will be prosecuted or held to account bc consultants will say its too politically risky again and the cycle after that we'll do it all over again and even worse again. Ah well. Ah well!

"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!
