I agree, but I would much rather have an article stating such from any source that is not Jacobin tbh

If you think conservative anti-LGBT sentiment is a recent phenomenon I’m…almost impressed at the cultural blackhole-ing there, lmao.

This is similar to what I thought. I’ve seen a lot of people really reluctant to accept dysphoria that’s almost always stemmed in like, believing there’s a right process to be trans explicitly so they can deny that belief to people they don’t want to be trans, so this could be a good first step but that mindset may prove to be toxic down the line; only time can tell.

You can see similar stuff in all the cis people eager to dictate that you should avoid accepting your own transness because, of course, you wouldn’t want to be trans if it weren’t something dictated to you by someone else who wasn’t biased in how you feel and…etc etc. Cis people are weird about that stuff and it’s become genuinely more rare that they don’t try to find ways to weasel in their discomfort over it in language of care these days, which is a constant difficulty to navigate.

I would say, get care at your own pace, and don’t go backwards just to follow the process dictated to you by others if it’s not what you want; more often than not whether they accept you is already decided regardless of the avenue you take for it.

Best of luck with everything. It’s a rough journey, but one you kinda have to take in the end.

Fuck Tim Apple, but please do not ever utter the phrase “bad gay” again.

Bernie lost the popular vote in the primaries twice. It’s mostly white guys that want him, honestly, which isn’t a popular sentiment but it’s true.

He doesn’t speak to the problems of marginalized communities who make up a large portion of the Democratic base.

Yeah, me getting to use the bathroom is just a rhetorical distraction in the end.

Go back to your hole, .ml troll

I hear this a lot, but the longer these things take the more likely it is that the government will shift and simply decide “well, the cases haven’t gone anywhere so at the beheadst of the Republican president we’re shutting it down.”

It’s good to be thorough, but being so thorough that a conclusion to the charges isn’t on the timescale of Trump’s political career (or even life tbh) makes the whole process a waste of time and money. There needs to be more initiative being taken or the whole process may be moot.
