That's an unfortunate way to live. Personally I'm hoping for a Biden victory, and also for you to have a long and happy life that contains the minimum of suffering required for your growth as a person. Wanting people hurt is a kind of happiness / satisfaction that is like using dirty gas. It might work for a while, but it degrades the engine over time.

I don't see what the problem is. I've definitely heard that with god, all things are possible, are we acknowledging that that's not the case here? Can god only do spells with specific ingredients? Kinda sounds like witchcraft.

Getting surgery for trans related stuff is a massive pain, even when cis people fly through getting the same surgery for the same reasons, like getting implants. If anything, it's gatekept too much.

Wasn't that just the trump presidency?

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.
