Or... as I call it, how I'm slowly turning into an anarchist.
So its been a fun day today, had to get yelled at by the doctor cause I lost a couple of prescriptions, which is understandable cause it means he has to ring up the government and be yelled at by them cause he's not supposed to reissue scripts for restricted medications until they run out.
Got a referral while I was there for a neurologist for other health issues. You see you can't actually GO to a neurologist, legally you have to be referred by a doctor. I need to get an MRI done, legally he can't request those.
I being the rebellious young person that I am, opened the sealed letter of referral so I could see what it said, nice mentions about my little transgender issue.
Why is my transgender issue a matter of neurology you might ask? Well simply put, it isn't. But the neurologist can't exactly NOT know because you can't change your details with the medicare system without surgery.
Another bit of good news today, I came into some well needed money (Cause i'm a young person who cares nothing for the future and wastes all her money and is subsequently broke, my excuse is that if I actually HAVE a future, ill worry about it then, im too worried about the present for now).
Down side of tax ->-bleeped-<- though is the tax department also won't let you change your gender details pre surgery.
So it would seem the system does jsut about everything in its power to remind me how messed up my life is.... and for seemingly no reason apart from "it's the rules".
Ya know how all that is making me feel?
**** the rules, **** the people who support them too.
Yes you, ok maybe not you reading this specifically... but probably you, you who says the rules are there to protect the majority, the system is there because we 'need' it. The masses need to make rules for the individual, community values, blah blah blah.
What is your problem? What is with this compelling need to control everything and to have rules and red tape and utter BS to make our lives more difficult?
Why do I need to see a doctor?
Well to get my prescriptions of course.
Why do I need a prescription?
Cause the law says you need a doctor, you can't just do it yourself, you could screw it up, or get drugs of abuse.
Ok.... so why not just let ME screw it up rather than those countless incompetent doctors i've seen and seen others see over the years. Is it really so terrible an idea?
Well if you want the government to pay for them the government should have rules governing their use!
Ok, then let ME pay for them, thats just the system justifying its own existance.
But wait, if anyone could access any drugs they wanted, they'd get addicted to drugs of abuse and then steal to fund it.
No.. wait.. that part happens anyway. "BUT IT WOULD HAPPEN MORE", yeah, because if it were legal, youd do it would you?
"Well no but other people might".
Have you ever considered that maybe other people might not? That maybe all these rules are just feel-good BS?
Just one little disclaimer, I'm not really an anarchist, I understand the need for some degree of governance. But the degrees to which it goes to far and to which people justify it. Agh!
Ok end of rant.
