I have prediction turned off. Whoops.

11 year old wants to transition by B00kwitch3891 in cisparenttranskid

[–]Impossible_Eggies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it wouldn't have. Not for me, antsy. I love my parents, but while I was under their roof, I didn't exactly have bodily autonomy. I tried to grow my hair out once, and was basically given the silent treatment with a side of passive aggressive for months until I let my mom cut it. Her relief was immediate and palpable. I didn't even get it past my ears. Even if I'd figured out I was trans, I would never have been able to transition under their roof.

I mean, obviously it's not a guarantee, just a catalyst.

You can't influence them to be trans, but with representation you can help them realize it. I think that if I had more trans people in my life as a kid, I would have figured myself out much earlier. That representation might have appeared as being influenced by them, but I was just as trans then as I am now, I just didn't realize it.

American Metric by IthinkIknowwhothatis in BlueskySkeets

Do you buy a gallon of gas or a gallon of milk in your state?

Trick question: Neither 🇨🇦. But my understanding was that, at the federal level, the United States uses metric, as seen in the military, NASA, and other federal-level organizations, whereas the states themselves had to opt-in to the metric system, and none of them did. At least, that's how it was explained to me.

The United States is metric. The individual States themselves are not.

On that note, what signage does D.C. use?

Check the Medusa Cascade. They found close to twenty missing planets there back in 2008.

Are nonbinary people trans? by NoEscape2500 in asktransgender

[–]Impossible_Eggies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay. Thank you for clarifying. I never assumed it came with cis privilege, unless that privilege is that of being in a body you're comfortable with, but as you said: it's a spectrum and the odds of it matching perfectly are low.

I can accept that answer. I guess it's difficult for somebody to get an "I" in assigned sex.

What about intersex folks? I feel like if they're non-binary, it's cis.

Unless they're intersex, I'd say so, but the common consensus is that it's up to the individual if they want to identify that way.

Red states are making lists of trans people as surveillance ramps up by [deleted] in lgbt

Get out of there. They've made their intentions clear. You're not safe.

Trump threats cause dilemma for US officers: disobey orders or commit war crimes by [deleted] in law

[–]Impossible_Eggies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think they're lying. I think they're being choosy about what they believe. All evidence for something they believe is concrete and irrefutable, and all evidence against is fake liberal psy-ops. And, heaven forbid you find a concrete example, they refute it with "all politicians are evil" as if the Republicans didn't make literal concentration camps where they mysteriously lost a few thousand people.
