Yeah your hypothetical sucks is what people are pointing out

Thinking good things your way 💜

So gorgeous and inspiring, I’ve had to come back a couple times for another look 👀 thanks for sharing!

Fuck you of you think trans rights should be sacrificed "for the good of democracy".

The anti democracy machine is the anti-trans machine. Get that through your skulls.

Yes, I’m familiar with the estimated CKD numbers and also the fact that most are not aware of their condition or receiving appropriate care.

And there are considerably more than 200k ESRD patients in the US (~550k on dialysis and ~260k transplant recipients). You might want to update your sources.

Even granting this gloss of current practices—which I’m not because it isn’t factual—why would you try to excuse harmful data collection practices, arbitrarily instituted for ideological/racist reasons, that limit the scope of data collected by non-commercial entities? Very weird hill to die on.

The problem is/has always been that many non-white patients with chronic kidney disease die BEFORE reaching dialysis (due to our racist healthcare system and the disparities inherent to it)
