Ontario politics, anxiety, transphobia (------) 

Someone decided spreading a rumour that OHIP was cancelling people's GRS coverage was a good idea.

Health minister denied it but not before I like, had a gigantic panic attack at work.

@Nurbs Cora just told me. I'm so sorry. That is so terrifying.

@AzureHusky Yeah luckily it's not real. I'm glad the health minister tacked on "And we won't be adding one" to the denial, so I actually tbh, am now in a better spot than before. :P

@Nurbs *tight hugs* when Cora showed me the first thing my heart fell out of my chest.

Evidently the person got this through McLean who has been weird about this stuff lately (i had a friend who was told at his top surgery consultation that they were full for 2019 but would re apply for funding this summer) so I'm not sure what is going on there

re: Ontario politics, anxiety, transphobia (------) 

@AzureHusky Yeah either way, seems I'm safe. Still like, recovering from the panic attack, but otherwise, very happy to hear it's not true. I dunno what I'd do if it were. Ugh.

@Nurbs I don't know what we would do. But I would be here for you. We will get through this garbage together.

@AzureHusky I'm now more upset that people are still spreading it like wildfire despite no evidence that it's true and probably causing quite a bit of undue suffering for no good reason tbh.

re: Ontario politics, anxiety, transphobia (------) 

@Nurbs yeah it's terrible
