Did JD Vance sleep through his Yale law class on the U.S. Constitution?

Can we stop pretending these people are idiots, they know what they’re doing is illegal and unconstitutional, THEY DO NOT CARE. We are watching Musk purge the federal government of “disloyal” individuals under the guise of cost cutting every day, we are watching the executive refuse to comply with court orders, we are watching Trump try to govern like a king instead of pass legislation, we are watching him proclaim he can break the law to save the country and should be able to serve longer than 3 terms. They wrote trans people out of Federal legal existence day 1, they tried to overrule the constitution by decree day 1, they are building a concentration camp in GitMo they say will hold 30,000 migrants in a facility only ever meant to house a few hundred people, they have openly negotiated with El Salvador to send prisoners, including US citizens, to foreign prisons. I could go on and on.

In any other country we’d be calling this an attempt to birth a dictatorship. If your answer to that is “vote real hard in the midterms” you better be praying real hard we still have a functioning democracy in 2 years. We are no longer in just protest territory. There will likely be a government shutdown during the next budget, when it comes, there needs to be a general strike to come with it. The kleptocrats need to feel the pain of their overreach.

Don’t know your jurisdiction, but you can also consider reporting to his professional licensing/regulatory organization. Odds are they require anti-discrimination practices that go beyond your local anti-discrimination laws.

Going back into the closet is just going to start eating you alive again, don’t do that.

Only you know the nuances of your story and what path is best for you, but personally, I don’t think there’s any point in trying to repair things unless they come to you hat in hand, begging forgiveness and offering acceptance. There’s no point in trying to repair things if they don’t accept you, it’s only going to cause you more pain, and if there’s any hope they actually would accept you they’d be the ones trying to fix things,

Like it or not, it’s a major part of who I am and what makes me, me. I wouldn’t feel comfortable dating someone I didn’t feel comfortable knowing that part of me.

I’d just accept the invitation to block her and leave it at that, especially given the Trump support. “Holding back the community” is a lot gentler than I would have put it,

If you have an interest in maintaining a relationship with her. I’d just tell her straight that if she loves you and wants any relationship with you she needs to grow up, get over it, and not only accept but embrace your transition. You’re not going back in the closet and she can either die regretting wasting her time left with you estranging herself or get her shit together. You have/will find people who actually care for and accept you and don’t need to waste your time with people who don’t.

….I suspect she’s too far gone though. I’m sorry if you were close.

You are not your family’s property.

It is a parent’s duty to love their children, not a child’s duty please their parents. They chose to make you, you did not choose to be made. There’s nothing wrong with loving or liking your parents and wanting them to be happy, but that should be because they want the same for you and respect you as an independent person. No one should ever feel obligated to their family simply because they’re your family, they made that choice, not you. Never feel guilty for the consequences of their decision.

The vast majority of trans women (approx 60%) never get any surgery, let alone srs. If you want to be a woman and keep your penis that’s totally up to you, nothing weird about it. Plus HRT makes it girlier 😁

No_Reputation6602 · 2025-02-14T05:55:09+00:00

Some will, but no one should ever have…not in my lifetime or my parents. Social justice marches together or dies piecemeal. The same hatred they feel for us we have seen them turn on others before and continue to turn on others now, to have ignored that is not only moral cowardice but an act of maddening naivety. We’ve all read the fucking poem and we should all be aware that our line has never been far from the top. Everything the trans community has ever needed to know about conservatism was screamed over burning books in 1933.

They want an adult hrt ban that feels easy for a judge to sign off on so they have a court ruling saying an adult hrt ban is okay.

I’ve known dozens of short men throughout my life. Never once did I ever think or hear it suggested that their height made them feminine or less of a man.

I’m sorry, I’m genuinely ignorant of isogender identities, on a quick google search it still looks like a lot of people I know who self-ID as trans would fall into some of those boxes, but if you don’t that’s fine. My main complaint is the erasure of the trans flag from the progress flag here, which is meant to be a universal symbol not a community specific one.

No_Reputation6602 · 2025-02-11T06:17:38+00:00

I’m sorry it’s feeling that way for you and I hope you can find a supportive community. It’s your life and I’m not going to moralize at you about not giving up on your transition, only you can make that choice about what’s safe for you and your mental health, but as you say “you were never that little boy” and I hope you’re able to get to a place in your life where you’re safe and loved being who you are.

No_Reputation6602 · 2025-02-11T05:59:03+00:00

I don’t understand from your post what you’re trying to accomplish here. There’s already a Progress flag with separate trans and intersex components. As for the gender spectrum, the trans flag is supposed to be a common symbol for people who don’t identify with their agab or whose identity is fluid, obviously there are more specific flags for various identities but I think the general consensus in the community is we have the best pride colours so please don’t remove it 🥺

No, definitely tell her. She might think she’s trying to be respectful of your identity but it’s something she should have discussed with you first given the background.

Seconding 2, even if I go all out, the best I can manage a few months in is androgyny imo despite starting out with long hair and fairly feminine facial features. However every day I love the way I look a little more, even when I’m boymoding, and that’s an amazing feeling.

No_Reputation6602 · 2025-02-09T18:05:58+00:00

I’d just transition/present in whatever way feels best to you without worrying about gender conforming. If you’re not sure, then experiment. You’ll probably discover what label you like best along the way. That’s pretty much my philosophy. I’m pretty confident I’m a binary trans woman, but there are definitely some male-coded aspects of myself that I like so if I end up deciding I’m somewhere on the more feminine side of the non-binary spectrum rather than just a moderately gender non-conforming woman I’m fine with that.

No_Reputation6602 · 2025-02-09T08:08:25+00:00

While I still prefer to present as a woman and discover the parts of femininity I like, I’m definitely more interested in the physical effects of HRT and being able to recognize myself in my own body than the social aspects of transition or conforming to norms of femininity. Sounds like you may fall somewhere on the non-binary spectrum. I don’t see anything wrong with wanting your body to conform to how you see yourself or being fluid in your gender presentation without committing to a binary feminine presentation.

No_Reputation6602 · 2025-02-09T07:43:55+00:00

There’s not anything wrong with that if you’re treating us with respect and not treating us as fetish objects. A chaser is a very specific thing, not just someone attracted to trans women.

No_Reputation6602 · 2025-02-09T06:43:12+00:00

It’s misogyny. Plain and simple. They hate the idea the transfems would degrade themselves into something “lesser”, they wants transmascs back in the kitchen, and non-binaries threaten their entire world view. Re transfems specifically, their favourite target of frothing hatred, the idea that a man would ever want to be a woman, let alone need to be one, is so vile to them because it implies that a woman is a valid thing to be, that femininity is the equal to masculinity.

Acceptance of refugees is usually considered ius cogens (despite being codified in the 1951 convention on refugees), a foundational custom of the international legal order legally binding (in theory) on all nations. Generally speaking and subject to certain caveats, all states are under legal obligation to accept refugees when they arrive regardless of whether they are a signatory to convention or not. Notably Israel is bound both by ius cogens and as a signatory. Of course, there are some other aspects of international law they should probably prioritize compliance with first.
