@eyes_bewildered I saw a lot of people on here talking about chain pharmacies that are drug stores, but there are also some independent local pharmacies that are just pharmacies. Also if your insurance is an HMO your doc’s office also has a pharmacy to pick up your prescriptions at.

Where are all the “fairness in sports” people when physically disabled kids are forced to play against athletic peers in PE and graded poorly for not keeping up?

[Rooke @eyeinscience]

@ellisreyes @RiverValleyJude Do you know what a pelvic exam entails? Because you’re advocating for little girls to have fingers inserted into them for no reason.

I hope to God you never have kids. They shouldn’t let you within two hundred feet of a child.

[Rooke @eyeinscience]

@theoranggorilla @lachancenaomi27 We do and it’s called estrogen.

Also, who cares about advantages? People have natural advantages all the time. Everyone had an unfair advantage over me because I’m slow as hell and was developing arthritis in my teens. Should they have been banned so I could compete?

The account that posted this perfect flowchart about trans girls in sports got deactivated or something, so I’m reposting it

[Rooke @eyeinscience]

@theoranggorilla @lachancenaomi27 It’s not on a whim, but we quite literally do rewrite sex. That’s why a birth certificate isn’t enough. Also, doctors do get it wrong at birth; there are intersex conditions that don’t present until puberty.

What the hell is “biology is a part of sports” supposed to mean?

@Book27_ @PlunkingOtter @lachancenaomi27 Insurances have already said that they WILL NOT cover the cheek swab since it’s not medically necessary!

[Rooke @eyeinscience]

@ellisreyes @RiverValleyJude They don’t require a pelvic exam, genetic testing, or hormone testing, which this initiative does.

[Rooke @eyeinscience]

@sfrr024 @RiverValleyJude Genetic testing is hundreds of dollars and insurers in WA have already said they’re not going to cover it since it’s not medically necessary.

[Rooke @eyeinscience]

@StephaneLa45018 @RiverValleyJude They’ve already declined to pick up this issue, actually.

[Rooke @eyeinscience]

@ljj58 @RiverValleyJude Insurance isn’t going to pay for a cheek swab and they’re hundreds of dollars. Most insurers in WA require a prior authorization stating medical necessity for genetic testing, and they have already stated they will not be covering this testing.

[Rooke @eyeinscience]

@BevJacksonAuth @JaimsVanDerBeek @RiverValleyJude The initiative specifically said the doctor must either confirm reproductive organs (pelvic exam, not normally done on girls until they’re sexually active), genetic testing, or hormone testing. A doctor cannot attest without doing one of those three.

[Rooke @eyeinscience]

@susi815 @RiverValleyJude Sports physicals for girls do not involve a pelvic exam.

[Rooke @eyeinscience]

@Bigdogsallday @RiverValleyJude Because birth certificates can be changed. The initiative specifically says it must be a visual of reproductive organs (for cis girls, this requires a pelvic exam, which is not normal until they’re sexually active), hormone levels, or genetic testing.

Either I never hit send on the email to the tree guy that our doorbell doesn’t work so he should call me when he gets here, and he’s checking out our tree from the roof, or Santa is real and over two months early
