And, well... They're not super wrong about how mapped earth is. They just misjudge the sheer, enormous amount of detail we need (which keeps growing with our ability to get more of it), along with the fact that sometimes it changes a bit.
The worst thing imo is when a form will say they need to verify your identity, so they ask you to give them a phone number you can receive a text at to do a 2fa.
...how, exactly, does that verify anything other than that I own access to a phone number that can receive a text?
You know, it's funny. Those look like words. But I, as an entitled speaker of the English, cannot be bothered to click the link to find out if they are.
I take food from the baker and carry it to people's homes directly in exchange for custom. We call it "being a delivery girl". The amazing part is what the baker makes, it's called "pizza"
Girl is developing a very clear relationship with another girl, building over multiple arcs. And then a different author gets to write a book and instead of even trying to be subtle he just has the characters up on stage, announcing how they feel (it makes me feel angry):
Chandra had never been into girls. Her crushes — and she’d had her fair share — were mostly the brawny (and decidedly male) types like Gids.
Um, excuse me, who said 40 years was long enough? If we don't have trials that show how people receiving these drugs turned out all the way until they died then we don't really have long term trials, do we?

It's such a fucking cop out. Nothing will ever be good enough for some people.
Even if they eventually decide not to undergo those procedures, all you habr to do is take them off the blockers and they'd undergo puberty as normal. There's not all that much downside for an awful lot of upside for those in need.
Oh, don't worry. Statistically, people who start puberty blockers almost always go on to receive hormone therapy as adults, so you don't really have to worry about people deciding not to continue. It's definitely* because of the medicine that they go on to do HRT, and not because the kids that are getting through the bullshit to actually start blockers are the kids who are almost 100% guaranteed to be trans. Don't think too hard and it'll all just go away.
I mean, until it happened it's just a fiction. Maybe time travel wasn't possible at all until we nuked ourselves back to the stone age fighting over what was left after climate change.
Lily?
