SpoilerTIF on Survivor (First Episode Spoilers)
Did anyone watch the premiere of Survivor last night?
There's a TIF on one of the tribes. She explained her whole story about how her parents didn't support her transition, but then her mom got sick so she moved back home to take care of her before she passed away.
Later in the episode (SPOILERS), Jeff Probst shows up to pull 'Jackson' away from the tribe. Jeff explains that she kept medical information from production which is a big no-no on Survivor since the show is so physically intense. Basically, she's been on Lithium since her mom died (Lithium treats mania and bipolar disorder). And the TIF decided to just wean herself off of it and go cold turkey on the island without telling production. As the filming date approached, she realized she wasn't completely weaned off (she had two doses left) and she admitted everything to production the day before filming. Jeff told her the show was too physically and psychologically demanding for someone going through withdrawal for anti-psychotic meds and would have to take her off the show.
I thought this was so in line with what TIPs tend to do... First, she made her own medical judgments without seeing a doctor about it - (putting her own personal desire to play Survivor above everything else). She withheld important medical information from production (affecting her own wellbeing and the wellbeing of the people she'll be living with - mental illness, withdrawal, and mania is not something to play around with). AND she took a spot on the show from someone else who would've followed the rules and been allowed to stay and play the game.
As a Survivor fan, it annoys me that someone would apply only to flout the rules like that and get themselves kicked off right away. On the other hand, I'm glad this season will be that much less woke right off the bat.
edited to add more info
edit 2: Now she admitted that she waited until the day the alternate was sent home before telling production the truth. That means she waited until she couldn't be replaced at the last minute, forcing production's hand. The Survivor fanbase really despises her right now.
Going to Spain as a minor. Which means your parents are rich enough to stop what they're doing and take you to Spain.
But please tell me how you're oppressed
With how comparatively cheap Spanish health care is, it might not be that more expensive (or may even be cheaper) than in the U.S.
I’ve seen dozens of posts on r/topsurgery from women who were minors when they received their surgery. And they’re so oblivious to the current political climate that they’ll basically flaunt it. And the comments will be filled with “OMG I also had my top surgery at 14!”
it's so obviously just TERFs on shell accounts just trying to make us look bad /s
These surgeons are disgusting. I have no idea how they can be ok with what they do.
I wonder if Gallagher's chop shop is still carving up children. Or if she had to lay low after nearly killing that one TIF
"Looking for an unscrupulous surgeon who will do anything for a paycheck to permanently mutilate my depressed 16 year old daughter. Please and thanks!"
