Today, my step-son broke his glasses. Our doctor said he would no longer see us because my step-son is transgender, and a new law in our state allows him to do this. Apparently, it was foolish to be honest on medical forms. Finals are in a month but we have to find a new doctor before he can even study. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I took my kids to the doctor. In the waiting room, a six year old boy walked up to me, punched me in the crotch, and ran away with my glasses. When the kid's parents made him give me my glasses back, he spat on them. FML
Today, I learned that my doctor lost all of my immunization records. I can't start law school without them. FML
Today, I broke my glasses. My eyesight is horrible, I can’t see things that aren’t super close to my face. I'm supposed to drive to another state tomorrow. FML
Today, my parents finally decided to get a divorce. The catch? I'm on my step-dad's insurance and without it, I will no longer be able to receive my absolutely crucial mental health medication, on which, no exaggeration, my life depends upon. I'm cooked. FML
Today, I went to the eye doctor. He tells me that I've developed a severe allergy to contact lenses and must stop wearing them immediately. It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't just visited him a week earlier, paid for a new prescription and ordered a year's worth of brand new lenses. FML
Today, I took my transfer student, who I am hosting for her year of study in America, to the doctor. It turns out that she is pregnant, and my teenage son is the father. FML
Today, I've been diagnosed with an incurable condition in both eyes that is making me go blind. I lost my job and had to drop out of my final year in college because of this. Then my ex found out and stole my car since I "won't need it". FML
Today, I broke my glasses, so I scheduled an appointment to get a new pair. The soonest available appointment? November 21st. FML
Today, I received a letter from a “judge” declaring me mentally unfit and ordering me to transfer my house and money into my son’s name. It had 8 spelling mistakes. My son really will do anything to avoid getting a job. I’m kicking him out when he turns 30 in 2 weeks. Enough is enough. FML
Today, my stepfather decided he was no longer part of our family, and refused to come to family dinner, all because we're all women, and he isn't. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

This is digusting. That doctor is a scumbag. I don't know if that's allowed in your state, but go back and record him saying something like "no I don't want to treat your son because he is transgender". Then post on facebook, youtube and send to his corporate office with a complaint. Just because there is a law does not mean it is accepted by others. He won't last very long. F**k this b*stard.

Wtf? Whatever his personal attitude is towards transgenders aren't doctors supposed to help everyone? How can people like that doc even become doctors?!

Post this on tiktok and twitter. Put it on big social media platforms and this transphobic doctor will lose his business. Im sorry to hear this, truly I am.

Hey??? Hold up.. a doctor refuses to see a patient because he is transgender - and this is allowed,? What are you even saying? Wtf - how is this condoned

It's allowed because people keep electing bible thumpers to political office.

yep it is allowed. Arkansas's legislature just overrode the governors veto allowing doctors to refuse to give medical treatment to transgender Minors. conservative America at its finest.

you can get him glasses online if you get his script. make sure to also ask for his pupilary distance because youll need that. i get mine from Zenni optical and i spend less than $20 each pair including shipping. so sorry to hear this though.

You can try to consult directly at an optic store. They may have specialists there. That's what my doctor suggested me.

how can people even say you deserved it????? heartless doctor shouldn't have their degree

Request his prescription and pupilary distance in WRITING. The doctor HAS to by law release it. Then take it to a new shop to get the glasses made.

This law violates even the most basic of oaths that doctors take dating back to the Hippocratic oath. It's unethical. This doctor should resign, he is not meant for the profession.
