If you come in with a gaping head wound and can't pay, by law, hospitals are required to treat you.
If you come in with brain cancer, no one is compelled to give you the radiation, chemotherapy or surgeries you may require, even though it is literally life saving. You are stable, albeit slowly dying, so too bad.
Maybe I'm just too skeptical, but
a) This is a very new account with exactly 1 other posting 3 months ago, and
b) They don't refer to their child with any sort of gender. They even used slightly awkward sentence construction just to avoid gender. Few parents think of their child as an "it".
So either this is a sleeper bot, or the surgery in question was gender reassignment.
Or this poster routinely refers to their child as an "it", not a "he" or a "her".
Many people nondescriptly don’t gender themselves in online discussions.
Could be, but they made only a single other posting and are effectively not even pseudo-anonymous, but completely anonymous.
You know, when you deal with the past 18 months where your kid has 6 hospitalizations due to illness, 2 minor surgeries, 3 major surgeries (this last one was spine related, others heart), countless appointments, multiple feeding tube feedings a day to sustain nutrition, nearly $2 million lifetime billed do insurance (as a 6 year old)...who the fuck cares about what gender I decide to write about or the reason I might not share it?
