I've yet to hear of a flacid penis be a pre-existing condition, or beating ones wife be a pre-existing condition.
I HAVE heard of childbirth and being a victim of DV justified as reason to deny health coverage.
I guess my point is that double standards run rampant, but not usually in the favor of women.
Dylan using married queers who are divorcing is almost comical considering the incredibly small percentage of queers who are allowed to get married and how very new it is.

I absolutely see your point about women, here. I was speaking about street Viagra and sexual addictions. And a lot could be discussed about street T here, as well. It isn't used solely by TG individuals to appear more masculine!! Health-care issues surrounding women do demonstrate some very negative and actually, abusive (abuse as in not covering female related conditions) treatment of women.
Your point about divorcing queers is well taken. Have to go back and read these posts.
I have a problem with stereotyping and double standards in general because no one group is all anything. Do I think that women have been more oppressed and discriminated against overall... you bet I do! male privilege (especially, white-male privilege) still dominates our culture.
