cancel culture comes for the northern pike

here's mickey, goofy, donald, and chip & dale. yeah they turned mickey & friends into anime boys. they're an idol unit or something. they're technically not anime boy versions of the source characters, they have different names. mickey's guy is "Neo Michel". not michael, michel, like he's french. chip & dale are "Ruska Moncrief" and "Ranka Monk", they have different last names, they're not brothers anymore so that they can be yaoibait instead, anyways this post isn't actually about these guys I'm just setting the stage for the actual humanizations I wanted to show you

They also did monsters inc. And. Well it's obvious from the designs who mike and sully are. but you will also notice. the blonde one on the left. with glasses. monsters inc is kind of famously about just the two guys so they didn't really have a lot of other non-villain characters to take anime boys inspiration from, I guess, so, well,

I've already paid over $2,200 out of pocket because I didn't want to wait to deal with insurance that I have through my employer and wanted to get shit figured out as fast as possible, which my friends and family have graciously helped out with most of that cost, but unfortunately since it was all out of network, none of that is going to go towards my $2,500 in network deductible, so I'm transferring care to an in network hospital (which sucks because I was very satisfied with the care I was receiving at the place I went originally, but I've heard nothing but great things at the in network place so whatever) but I'm still gonna have to pay that additional $2,500 out of pocket. Not to mention the copays or whatever, which prolly won't be terrible but my max out of pocket for in network is $4,500. So essentially, at minimum I'm gonna have to spend another $2,500, and potentially up to $4,500 for whatever treatment I need. Which is for sure gonna be surgery, and likely chemo (which again, I'll be finding out later today).

So I'm in a spot where I really, really don't like asking for money, but this has sorta flipped everything in my life upside down. Especially because I have zero family history of breast cancer (I'm also getting genetic testing today, which is covered by a grant luckily, to see if maybe that's why I got it). Not to mention my age, every doctor so far has been like stunned and shocked that it was cancer after all (not that anyone pushed back against it, in fact every doctor I've seen so far was adamant on getting the ball rolling on testing, which is why I said fuck it and just paid the $2,200 so far out of pocket). So it's all very unexpected.

So I guess what I'm trying to get at here, is should I make a Vnmo post or a GFM or anything else like that? I really don't know but I feel like I need to throw something out there.

Lied and said he was non-verbal

Lied and said he was incapable of communication

Lied and said he had not gotten the surgery of his own accord

Lied and said his "guardians decided [he] was trans"

Got MGT to call a procedure done on a consenting adult "criminal" just because he had cerebral palsy

Mass reported his video and his account, which he ran, until facebook terminated his account for "child exploitation" despite it being his account, him being an adult, and him not being exploited

Ableism and transphobia are inseperable. Just like ableism was used to prop up bigotry throughout history, now it is being used to deny transgender people bodily autonomy the same way it is used to deny disabled people bodily autonomy. It's not a coincidence that so much of the rights transphobic rhetoric is focused on labelling us as "mentally ill". They don't think any disabled people, let alone mentally ill people should have independence or liberation.
