upbearing the trans mega but not the news mega despite reading both to maintain trans hegemony over the site

PSL if its an option, Greens otherwise since they’re the only other anti-war candidate. Only reason I’ll be voting is for the ballot initiatives though, might as well check the box next to the least demonic party while I’m at it.

his butt humper

Can liberals ever bash Putin without resorting to homophobia? Regardless, Trump wouldn’t have control over that policy anyway, it’s a Pentagon/security state adventure, which is ending in a complete disaster for them even without a president hostile to Project Ukraine.

sure do love living in a Democracy™️ where unelected high priests of an ancient document written by slavers dictate that even the tiniest of good things can never happen

Thank you!

sure would be cool if there was any accounting of cases whatsoever or maybe even tracking of wastewater! hmm, too bad we don’t have those anymore though

I regret to inform you that you are also an animal.

Puberty is not something that is “inflicted” on anyone.

It is when we have the safe medication to make it avoidable for someone who would be harmed by it, but “”“moderates”“” are tying themselves into knots trying to find ways to subvert the medical consensus because the existence of trans children makes them uncomfortable or whatever fucking justification they tell themselves.

I don’t think your “fuck off and die” attitude is going to convince very many people to be accepting of trans people.

Do you think maybe that attitude is the result of being one of the primary political scapegoats for fascists for several years now, while liberals have largely sat on their hands and done nothing while hundreds and hundreds of discriminatory bills flow through state legislatures every single year? While liberals like you gradually adopt reactionary framing (the “dangers” of puberty blockers and the alleged commonality of trans surgeries for children) on the issue, ceding ever more ground to their rhetoric?

You’re providing a perfect example of the kind of attitude that will get fascists elected.

And then victim blaming as the cherry on top. Very cool.

life altering drugs

Puberty blockers are not life altering drugs and have been used on cis children for decades with no issues being raised about it, let alone of this scale. Any stance other than this, one based in actual reality, is caving to right wing framing of the issue.

permanent surgeries

So exceedingly rare among trans children that it’s not worth talking about. Trans children rarely get access to puberty blockers, let alone surgeries. Editing to add: Most surgeries are done to reverse the effects of a wrong puberty. If trans kids got the blockers/HRT they needed, they wouldn’t have a need to undergo surgery, except for maybe GRS, which is not a universal desire among trans people.

until they are adults that can make those decisions

This is also caving to right wing rhetoric on the issue. Trans children are not walking into gender clinics and saying “One gender-affirming surgery, please :)”, this process typically involves multiple doctors, usually a therapist of some kind, and obviously the kid’s parent(s)/guardian(s). Just like the abortion issue, it should stay that way and be free of state intervention, because to say otherwise would be to contradict the overwhelming majority of medical evidence from the past several decades that indicate that transition leads to the best outcomes for trans people.

I want to be able to tell them that the trans issue is being used to divide us and get people to vote against their economic interests.

As Outdoor_Catgirl said, this issue is not a fucking distraction. To be free from discrimination and the very real threat of violence that often results murder should ostensibly be an issue liberals would care about. But even with the most selfish framing, trans issues are directly related to the lack of adequate and affordable healthcare that plagues this country even after it socially murdered over a million people with the lack of COVID response. So, trans issues should not be seen as a “distraction” or a “culture war”, because increasing discrimination and stochastic violence against a vulnerable minority should be issues that even liberals care about.

if you’re gonna kill yourself for being a child murderer, maybe you should also kill the other child murderers around you first? idk, just a thought.

between this and boris johnson just outright saying a russian victory in the war would mean the end of western hegemony, they’re really just coming out and saying the quiet parts out loud now i feel. its like they cant even be bothered to do the whole Democracy and Freedom spin anymore.

I’m not super knowledgeable on the subject, but one issue I do know is that certain carriers will prevent you from unlocking the bootloader on their carrier version of phones, preventing you from installing a different OS on them. A few of them do this iirc, but Verizon is particularly notorious for this. Getting an unlocked/carrier-agnostic phone is the safest bet for getting around that problem.
