Disclaimer: I'm a woman, this is not mindless incel rhetoric. I like to seperate objective truths from that bullshit, thank you very much.
I just went on another sub to get advice on my orthondontic treatment I've been on since 2020 and was met with standard gaslighting replies.
I'm from Germany and whilst the whole world praises this country for it's functioning health care system, nobody talks about or even acknowledges that they do a lot of shit to prevent the patient from getting treatments approved. It takes a lot of time and effort to get surgeries or other treatments approved. This country is hella conversative when it comes to this. The rhetoric basically is that the health care system just has to do the bare minimum and always starts with non-invasive measures first.
I'll try to keep this short as this is just a rant and I'm just mad in this very moment about how ugly people can't advance, even when they need to.
In my case non-invasive measures could only be done during my childhood, when my bones were still very mallable. But my first orthodontist absolutely fucked it up and camouflaged my underbite/crossbite. That skeletal bone structure underneath has NEVER improved. My smile resembles the troll face, I wish I was just joking. The irony of loving to laugh whilst hating my smile will never be lost on me.
Long story short. First ortho fucked up (I was 11). Health insurance never approved. At age 21, I went to a new one, the second ortho said "Nope, this won't get approved but hey, you've done great research yourself, even other orthos don't know this" (that is hella concerning btw, wtf, like do your job?). Got Invisalign, got Expansion of Upper Jaw Surgery in 2021. Now I stand before the Double Jaw Surgery (which could have been prevented from the start, had the first ortho never fucked up), and since insurance never approved, I have to miraculously find 15k somewhere, which in this economy is straight up impossible. I can't loan a credit because my income is too low, I suffered enough from anxiety and depression (which I highly suspect is due to my jaw malformation and obviously do to my low self-esteem due to my ugliness and lack of proper social life.). I only recently graduated, I'm practically poor.
My entire life experience proves to me that ugliness is a curse and even when you try to improve, you're held back.
If anyone even dares to say that pretty people have it worse, I'd dare them to walk only a single day in the life of an ugly person. They'd shut up real quick.
