    Not all drugs but yeah that’s why you can’t just buyosy of them on the Internet.

    I didn’t say the things you are thinking I said.

    You have your problems of what you desire in life and so do the rest of us. Yeah it’s annoying that we live in the modern age where money and resources could buy you the body you want but you can’t get it but that’s true for people with worse disability than you and it’s a lot less fixable.

    Everyone is suffering and you living your suffering has got the idea that yours is the most important which it is cause you are living it. Doesn’t mean that everything you do and support to achieve that is good. Sorry. It doesn’t.

    We either live in a society where we try to help everyone and limit abuse potential for everyone or we let it be a free for all and we are clearly somewhere in the middle swinging back and forth, which means we are all fucked.

    I understand your experiences and have lived them closer than you think as the Bi kid in a farming town that was bullied into multiple suicide attempts. But you don’t care. You want to be angry and you want to be right. As is tradition for humans.

    I just don’t care to pretend otherwise. Things that make humans feel good about themselves are life savers regardless of what it is because it’s the only thing we crave. To feel good. Unfortunately that just isn’t life.

      Don’t speak for the disabled here unless you’re one of us. I can buy hearing aids off Google as I well should be able to.

        Can you buy Cochlear implants off the Internet to install yourself?

        How about a corneal transplant?
        Can I get myself new kidneys or my sister a new heart? Trust me they would be very useful for making a better life for us.

        A hearing aid is absolutely not in the same realm even if it’s part of the new technological advancements that we can use money to buy to alter our physical nature. But you know that this is a different thing. You are doing a bait and switch whataboutism to diminish the actual conversation of chemical drugs that alter body chemistry being sold without a permit and prescription to anyone with access to the internet.

          It absolutely is in the same realm. Now if you wanted to compare surgery to surgery sure, but self administered medical devices can be compared to self administered medications. Now, prescription to prescription let’s talk contact lenses.

          But ultimately I wouldn’t be so angry if they weren’t restricting every legitimate means as well. This is like if the government were to make me jump through years of hoops to get hearing aids and then block me from buying some off a grey market medical device website. Rather than making mainstream options more available they’re pushing people further towards sketchier options.

          And here you are talking about homemade surgery when the topic of the day are pills and disability aids. All you have said in this thread is bait and switch.
