Not again please for the love of God

Holy anachronism! Is that brass?

There are so many more issues with America, including the systemic abuse of power by the executive branch, the failure that is the two-party system, the antiquated electoral system, the broken lobbying system, the poor healthcare system, systemic racism and other systemic biases, the almost insolvent pension system, the national debt, and many many other problems.

This isn’t to say we can’t fix it, but it’s going to take much longer than 4 years and even then is going to take a lot of effort. Every single thing in this list is a monumental task

Yeah I got to say she’s crazy. Sorry to hear about all the crap you’ve put up with over the years. It ain’t easy.

One correction, it’s considered BAH (housing allowance) so it isn’t taxed

Oh no what a tragedyyyy. How ever shall we continuuuue

I’ve seen rumors about general strikes again and again. Why do they never actually happen?

Some people have the ‘boy converter’ trait where everyone they meet turns out to be some flavor of queer

This whole story is so romantic

Some people just don’t want to see naked bodies. They get really turned off by it. Or maybe traumatized. Or it may be a very wide variety of reasons.

It also covers things like Gore and violence.

I find it so insane how they actually call it cope cage. It was supposed to be perjurative and now it’s just a descriptor

This is how Bush could find WMDs in Iraq. Just designate something else as a wmd and then bingo bango you’ve got your WMDs

Honestly, I love those songs

He’s really gung-ho about killing people. Less legality more lethality

That’s interesting. I’ll put that one up there with super powerful magnets. Transcrainial Magnetic Stimulation)

It’s really cool

How did they know my inner most thoughts?

Maybe we should bring back some ancient traditions

Those videos can be deceptive, because people on the far right tend to promote them a lot. It’s because that sort of thing is scary, like a plane crash. But despite well-known investigations and news stories, plane crashes are not that common and traveling by plane is the safest form of travel. It’s the same with trans people.

My Hope and dream is that everybody can explore their own gender identity and not be judged for it. If they don’t want to gender bend or want to go back to their gender at birth, I hope they can get the resources they need.

But transgender medicine is life-saving medicine. I know because I have first-hand experience. Had I not transitioned, my life would be more of a hell than it currently is.

I know some people on Lemmy are probably not happy with your opinions, but I’m always willing to talk to people. Thanks for listening! <3

The number of trans people has exploded! But this is more to do with it being socially acceptable. It’s like being left handed Long story short, gender dysphoria and people being trans has always been a thing, but with more acceptance comes more visibility

Detransitioners get a bad rap that they don’t deserve. But that comes from people using their detransition to fight against trans rights. I’ve never met someone who’s detransitioned, but I wouldn’t ever hold it against them. It’s incredibly hard to transition either way, and many of those support networks exist for trans people, but not for those who transition to their sex at birth.

Edit: Actually I have met a detransitioner, but he had done so because his family and country were hostile towards him

Most people who detransition don’t hold bad opinions towards the trans community though and sometimes they are still non-binary even if they aren’t medically transitioning.

If you don’t mind me asking, do you have any experience with someone who has detransitioned?

Sorry mate, you don’t know much science about the topic. The de-transition rate is actually really low. Like 1-2% low and most of those cases are due to family pressure rather than not being trans.

That’s not a fad, especially as we’ve got thousands of years of history for trans people and they are in every culture whether that culture is supporting or not.

Thanks for your support though. Every trans person ought to have someone who if not understands them, at least accepts them.
