Unless the page has been edited, the term "troops" is one that Chris appears to have introduced. It is not present on the linked page.

Let's not make unfounded and harmful claims that being LGBTQ is some sort of toxin-related defect, unless you're prepared to provide some sort of evidence to that effect. There is ample historical evidence of the existence of LGBT individuals dating back thousands of years.

They'll definitely find a way not to do that, they just made an extra $67m to spend on lawyers to do so.

Liver failure is terminal. She was invariably going to die without the transplant. She wanted to receive the donation, her donor wanted to donate. If the success rate for a living transplant is zero that's one thing, but that's not being claimed here since she wasn't eligible for procedural reasons.

I'd be inclined to agree, except that her partner wanted to donate HIS liver and was prohibited from doing so as a living donation due to the alcohol use determination.
