Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

  7. No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

Not always possible if it's an emergency

Well than I'm sure if they have time to go through your wallet or purse, they have time to open your pants. It's an emergency after all, and one where presumably consent cannot be given (unconscious?)

But really that is such an extreme situation, why would a doctor need to know a persons gender in an emergency? Best to not accommodate such unlikely scenarios and focus on the more likely harm that can be prevented.

Medical dosages and drug interactions would be the main legit reason.

Except most doctors / medical institutions ignore modified dosages women should have anyway in most cases.

Other than that, I suppose knowing if you take hormonal therapies would be useful in very niche and rare cases, like after you've been put in a medically induced coma, but there's so few trans people in the population + that's such a rare emergency procedure that I doubt it even happens once a year. It's also not a problem in most countries because they have more centralized medical records than the USA does.

I don't think some people can handle the idea that I can respect them as a person regardless of any gender and still think it's a good idea that they get the correct medical attention?

They literally can and do look into your wallet. Opening your pants could interfere with other operations or be unsafe or plain unhelpful (such as with a mutilation). Handing a wallet to an assistant is easier than playing a guessing game.

Knowing generally how your hormones/blood indicators should be balanced can help give an accurate diagnosis. Eg: you're in a coma and a reading outside of the M/F band could catch an early organ failure.
