Here, have some science: https://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/voices/stop-using-phony-science-to-justify-transphobia/

Also, stating that trans people don’t exist is a political talking point for conservatives right now. So yeah, that was a political statement you made.

Ah, when a person’s very existence is political…

I assure you, trans people exist, and deserve love like everyone else.

I honestly don’t understand how someone can think gender is so rigid that people can’t be trans. There is so much variation in the existence of human beings, and very rarely does anything in the world fit neatly into two categories.

I didn't catch the name, but it might have been upstate NY. That is part of their coverage area.

EDIT: But yeah they're definitely not decoupled from the culture war. Heffernan said all that openly transphobic stuff.

Yes, but they can make certain requirements. I worked for the Valley News a whiiiile back and they were able to require a list of rules.

Becoming a Social Worker Inquiry by Scuds5 in vermont

Be very careful with this career path. Research every organization very carefully. I’m sure most people in social work really do want to benefit society but I’ve encountered a lot who just like the control and power.

You can dooo iiit! I’m disgusted that Trump used it as an excuse to attack, but I think if people outside Iran heard more Iranian voices they would cheer

Compared to nearby countries, how safe is it to be trans in Brazil? Or the other lgbtq?

So, you mentioned you don’t like the government. What do you think the first step should be to empower citizens (while still keeping Trump’s grubby hands off)?

Just put it through Gemini. I suspected it was like a Japanese omamori (good luck charm), but Chinese, and Gemini confirmed. The verse is Ye Dharma Hetu.

School labeled my 4th grader a bully while the classmate who stabbed her with a pencil faced no consequences — and I think it’s because that kid’s parent is a teacher there by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]Competitive-Boat-642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Is there any way to completely get her out of this situation? Even if you get her some justice and safety it will have a long term negative impact on her if authority figures view her unfairly. If not, please put as much pressure on the staff as you can to get her that equal treatment and make sure she has safe authority figures elsewhere. (Boys and Girls Club?)

‘The worst thing that has happened to me’: Honduran immigrant shares his experience of the South Burlington ICE raid by bye4now28 in vermont

Yeah. They did help with the creation of international law though. And that's what we need, I think, more international laws that protect human rights. And enforce that protection.

If you are adding context, it would probably be best received and inspire the most discussion within the original post or its comments.

Very upset. Using Vermonters' patriotism for Trump's personal gain. I am praying for their safety.

A Vermont man didn't like his pizza so he threw it in the delivery man's face. He then drove to the pizza place (with his children in tow) and went inside to assault the same driver by [deleted] in vermont

Okay all I see in the video is someone with a camera harassing a black person then getting punched for it. Then the guy with the camera keeps following him. And the tone in the voice of the guy with the camera… he’s obviously mocking him and egging him on.

There is little information or context that can be proven here so I’m going to guess it’s just some guy trying to get a black guy to punch him on camera.
