  • Accurately reporting what trump said is a scare tactic by democrats, now? You don't think it might have anything whatsoever to do with what trump said?

  • It is not specifically about surgeries. If someone changes their name, pronouns, and presentation for three months and then decides it isn't for them, that's a detransition, no surgical involvement. If someone is on hormones for a couple of years, and can't deal with their family being godawful and their job prospects drying up because they're in an unaccepting area and goes back to their old name and clothes, that's a detransition. In fact, the latter case is the most common kind of detransition, where people have to because of social pressures or lack of support. A lot of those people retransition down the road, when they're better able to. Almost nobody who goes far enough to make medical changes regrets doing so.

  • Dislikes are engagement, that fuels the algo to feed you more of it.

  • David Pakman makes a good point that Trump is going directly from the courtroom to his usual bitching for the press without time to do a key of uppers in the bathroom. I think that the doctors suggesting it's dementia driven brain deregulation are more likely right.

  • I've run across a number of women named Summer and Autumn in my life, as well.

  • I've seen too many serious comments along these lines to take that as a given, unfortunately.

  • Maybe we shouldn't make laws about what adults can do because it wouldn't be good for children. Unless you think we shouldn't have beer festivals, to protect the children, and no food not pureed should be available for purchase, to protect the children.

  • That's my prediction as well, but if the experiment is cheap to run, why not do so, and see of you learn something?

  • Yep

  • Thanks, I hate it.

  • Here's hoping they aren't spending their liberty dividend on more sniper rifles and tanks.

  • So for the 99% there is an abolishment of private property, leaving only personal property and public property, everyone has an equal share, and the state has been dissolved?

    Because if not, at least one of us doesn't understand communism. It's entirely possible we both don't. Would you be willing to clarify the term as you understand it?

  • You know the IOC, who have pretty solid reason to know what they're on about, just released a study on this, and it suggests that trans women have a disadvantage as compared to cis women? Because that fits the actual results, where we haven't seen trans women winning 0.5% of competitions in line with their prevalence, nor more, but less? In any distribution there will always be outliers, but even the ones the people causing a culture war (who, incidentally, did focus groups to find the most effective way to make trans people a wedge issue) have found to trumpet from the skies as a "threat to women's sports" because of trans women's "innate advantages" lose all the time. They have one good day and they're dominating.

    What was really fuckin wild to me was multiple mutant Michael Phelps coming out and parroting this opinion. Motherfucker, you have a reduced lactic acid mutation and longer arms than is the norm for your height. Should you be stripped of all of your medals, for your innate advantages? Because he's way more unfair than any trans woman anyone has yet found to present to his competition, but that's fine because.... Why?

  • So, in order to avoid having no influence, you use all of your influence to advance someone else's ends? Idk man, seems like you could have told Trump to eat a dick on national TV, told the Republican senators that you were never going to have a better chance to get rid of his ass, and voted to convict and bar him from politics if it passed.

    Sure, I don't get to be a senator, but the fuck would I want to be a senator for, if that was the price of entry? You get to be a pawn, and get played? Pass, old man.

  • Yeah, read through this thinking that from my perspective, NTs have some talents I don't, but since they're common people think of them as baseline rather than talents. Shit sucks.
