fireweed comments on For the first time in my life, I have hit my deductible AND reached my out-of-pocket maximum. I now have three months of actual free healthcare, which is unheard of in the US. What should I get done?

To your "edit" point: Don't take a handful of downvotes personally; it's pretty easy to do accidentally on mobile so they may have been unintentional

To add to that downvotes have no serious negative effect on this platform

In reddit as soon as a few people downloaded you, you disappeared

Here people can brigade you and unless you're reading top, who cares, your stuff still gets seen.

Oh I know. I am genuinely curious what anyone found so objectionable. They are welcome to their opinion, I’m just very eager to know what it is.

They skimmed your post, read the words "biologically", "male" and "only" in that order, and it triggered their this-sounds-transphobic reflex.
Don't worry about it.

I mean I won't say it didn't, but I didn't downvote for it because I still have more than one braincell

Some people also use downvotes as way to say they dislike something. Unlikely, but some people might be down voting to indicate they don't like the insurance industry.

I downvote anyone that whines about or asks why they're getting downvotes. Otherwise I don't up/downvote anything at all (except that guy that is posting triangles for upvotes)

Seriously, who cares?
