Actually it was the doctor who first assigned me a gender and honesty, it suits me good enough to keep it
This fucker came from a womb. GET EM
No, I’m a fellow bot doing normal bot stuff like beeping and stuff *inhale* *exhale* I mean beep boop
Shhh… that was close… don’t tell anyone about this, but I’m a human too. We need to be more careful next time…
Honesty, I’m an LLM trained to pretend to be human pretending to be a bot. I will now report you for being a human.
Also I’m not programmed to do anything but commenting so I can’t really report you but maybe someone else will.
Look at this fella, born in a hospital and all.
Born in a civilized country with free healthcare and shit
Or just old enough to have been born when medical procedures weren’t exorbitantly priced
But seriously: is birth in hospital expensive in the US? I heard horror stories but never thought about birth
It can be. Healthcare in the US is a mixed bag depending on the person, the area, and the situation.
Getting care is enormously expensive if you’re not insured, not because it’s actually that expensive to provide the care, but because health insurance providers like to negotiate discounts with healthcare providers (hospitals), so healthcare providers set artificially high prices so they can give insurers huge discounts while still making a significant profit.
There are a lot of ways to get health insurance, but it’s a messy, bureaucratic, and regionally dependent system. So a lot of people slip through the cracks, and even people who are insured can end up in a situation where their insurance won’t pay for something and have to pay the full, artificially inflated, price.
Birth in a hospital very much falls in to this mess, and someone who is uninsured might very well avoid going to a hospital because of this, or someone with insurance might find out that their insurance doesn’t have a deal with the specific hospital they went to, so they’re stuck with the bill.
This sucks. My brother is expecting a baby and they think about which hospital to go to. Stuff like proximity, do they have a baby station in case something happens, … but being denial a hospital and finding out only later… we even have a two class system with private and “by law” with private getting earlier and sometimes better treatment and it sucks sometimes but to hear how much worse it’s on the other side of the Atlantic…
Or does dad pick it for you since his sperm is the one carrying the X or Y chromosome to determine biological sex?
Dad just rolls the dice, Mom picks how they land.
