Any sufficiently identical copy of me is me. A copy just means there are more me in the universe.

There's a difference between finding enjoyment in transgressing lines of expectation in outfits, and finding the experience of your body and social place as wrong, and wanting to change it to better fit with who you are. Yes, for people young enough, gender affirmation largely lies in changing clothes, names, pronouns, but over a lifetime it usually doesn't stop there. Having your body start shifting on you, in ways that aren't congruent with your experienced gender, is godawful and horrifying. Imagine your experience of puberty, but instead of the hormone you had dominant in yours, you got the other one.

You can go ahead and ask me anything about the experience; I was one of those kids, before affirming care was a thing for kids, and my goddess did it suck, and I suffer fallout from it still.

"You're attacking me!"

I wish I didn't expect there to be "measles parties" where parents gather their kids alongside infected kids to get that natural immunity.

Alas, I do expect it.

You know what amazes me, is that there are black sovcits. I saw video one of them shot lately, and honestly I appreciated the cops being as boundedly patient with him as I've seen them be with white sovcits, but holy shit I do not get how black people are willing to play that particular game given all of the times the cops have, in very genteel language, failed to uphold professional standards when interacting with someone with more than a minimal amount of melanin.

My mom introduced me to Napster. So at this point, it would be a family tradition.

Distribution of money and power is a facet of society.

I mean, not everyone agrees what the problems are. We can't even approach talking about solutions until we settle on the problems. And that problem seems to be getting worse.

I'm not aware of strokes - or stroke like symptoms - being particularly common among that set of people. I thought mostly the US funded military coups, funded guerillas and death squads, used financial warfare, that sort of thing. I know the CIA basically had a Wile E Coyote phase with Castro, but that never actually went anywhere that I'm aware of.
