When you watch this video pay particular attention to her words at these times 2:35 – 4:00 – 4:25 – 4:50 -5:15 -6:35 Could her words apply to those in the chronic pain community ? This post has nothing to do with the estimated 9 million in the LGBT community and/or the “pissing match” between the AG/DOJ and the state of NC over the “bathroom rights” law (HB-2) that they have passed.
I view it as more of the discrimination of those in the chronic pain community, based on interpretation of the DEA (within the DOJ dept), the CDC and various state legislatures that have imposed opiate dosing restrictions on those in the CPC and the DOJ turns a blind eye to that sort of discrimination.
This is a good example for those in the CPC to share with those in Congress and the local new media…using some of the words and statement straight from AG Lynch’s mouth about how our country should not accept discrimination of any particular group.

I have no issue with people using the restroom which matches their gender identity. After all, a person who is biologically male living as a female would look pretty silly and be extremely uncomfortable if they were forced to use the men’s bathroom consistant with their biological sex.
What gets my goat is the size of this particular population (a very small percentage of the total population) and our federal government’s strong and determined response to protect them when compared with the population of chronic pain patients and federal efforts to protect the extremely vulnerable population of chronic pain patients. Right. There is no federal government effort to protect chronic pain patients whatsoever. In fact, the federal government is doing just the opposite. They continue to inflict harm on us without a thought.
The feds can go after the state of North Carolina, cut funding for various programs and get NC to comply using various carrots and sticks. But who can come to the defense of the chronic pain community when it is the feds who are causing this discrimination and injustice? No one, that’s who.
Our Federal government is beyond hypocritical.
