I Should Buy A Boat Cat

Odds are your insurance would not pay for the treatment was was the underlying issue.

I’m not sure. My pediatrician always chalked my growth issues up to me being a picky eater, and he was never willing to look deeper into why I was having growth issues.

I ended up getting really sick when I was 17 and had to go to the hospital, where they figured out that I actually did have an underlying medical condition that was causing digestive discomfort.

If there was indeed an insurance issue, then it further proves my point - insurance companies are more willing to pay for transitioning children than simply helping children grow.

So according to you one is bad,
or it's bad because you didn't get treatment for your own condition but they got it for theirs,
or you should have gotten treatment but the other is still bad, according to you?

I just don’t understand why the medical community is willing to do so much for trans people, when they only make up less than 1% of the population.

To be clear, I have no issue with the existence of trans people, or even trans kids. If we’re going to tolerate people believing in veganism, or homeopathy, or folk medicine (and forcing those upon their children) then I don’t see how being transgender is any worse.

But I wish the same amount of effort had been made for the medical issues that I had.

Any WORSE? That there speaks volumes.

The same effort wasn't made with your condition because no amount of effort could correct it. You said it wasn't even diagnosed till it was too late to do anything about the height issue.

“The same effort wasn’t made with your condition because no amount of effort could correct it.” Well we don’t know that. My pediatrician just assumed that the growth issues were caused by me being a picky eater, and wasn’t willing to try anything else. We don’t know if Crohn’s disease would’ve negated the effects of growth hormone or something else.

And your pediatrician TREATED you accordingly. Misdiagnosis? Ok. Would the treatment you wished for helped? You answered that.

Ok. I don’t think this conversation is going anywhere. I think that my pediatrician should have been willing to try SOMETHING (even if that treatment wouldn’t have helped) and/or make more of an effort than what he did to try to figure out what was going on.

My grandfather went repeatedly to get checked about pain in his gut. Got gallbladder stones removed. Still. Then again. And again. By the time they found the cancer months later, it had spread from his his stomach and was too late to even try anything. Then he passed away.

This needs verification, but I once heard that 80% of all visits to the dr result in misdiagnosis. They've had experiments where they sent people to multiple dentists, and each found a different problem in need of repair.

Perhaps, as anti already told you, you should stop being so concerned about why people who see themselves as trans and people who aren't seen as 'white' are being treated the way you wish to be treated, and try a little introspection. You're complaining that these people are being treated like human beings seeking happiness in life, while complaining that women don't find you suitable for dating. There's more to you than height and youthful features. In theory, anyways,,,

Please post links to the memes you're referring to.

I have no issue with trans people and POCs being treated as human beings. That’s quite a strawman.

My pediatrician continuously dismissing my growth issues as being caused by me being a picky eater was not the responsible way to go about treating me. That’s undeniable.

The point I’m getting at is that if the medical community is going to be doling out puberty blockers & cross-sex hormones to any child who feels that they should be the opposite gender, then I don’t see any argument against doing the same with HGH and testosterone for any boys who want to be taller/bigger.

Don't do that. Don't lie.
You've posted multiple memes about it, and have issue with race mixing as if that's unfair while you've sadly ended up an incel. You wish treatment for a condition no one knew you had and probably wouldn't have helped anyways while claiming it unfair that others get treatments of their own - cosmetic, just like you yearned for. That's on you - BOTH are - and your problems to endure.

Like anti reminded you yesterday, you were previously told that the issue is you. I'd have to agree with that assessment at this juncture

NIH now admits most of the kids with gender issues are just going through a phase...
