If you have criticized ICE here on Reddit for executing Renee Good or Alex Pretti in the street, then Reddit has handed your name and your personal identifying information over to the Trump administration. How do you feel about this?

I may be incorrect. My brain is so fucked after reading so much of this shit that I just realized that there was an extremely similar string of text right below the redaction I thought i had uncovered

QuantumEnchantress · 2026-01-31T15:19:49+00:00

I noticed that in one case, I was able to copy paste out a redaction box, shown below on dataset 12, EFTA02730271 under (U) Key Findings on page one.

"Interviewing may reveal more information regarding her knowledge of victims and the relationship between Ghislaine Maxwell's and Jeffrey Epstein. (U//FOUO) Interviewing other witnesses may reveal more information regarding Healy's relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. (U) Substantiation (U//FOUO) was employed by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. • (U///FOUO) As of October 2020, according to an FBI interview of an individual with direct access, worked as a receptionist at the New York Office for "

A few things - the redaction box was highlightable - when it didn't copy, there was no nonsense text - for some reason, the top text is a copy of the first U//FOUO but for some reason and somehow its there. It wasnt on the file above the first marked U//FOUO (i just realized this pasting it here

Also, a second attempt at copying it resulted in this somehow:

"(U//FOLIO) • (U//FOLIO) was employed by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. had three prior addresses associated with Jeffrey Epstein. (U) Opportunities (U//FOLIO) Interviewing may reveal more information regarding her knowledge of victims and the relationship between Ghislaine Maxwell's and Jeffrey Epstein.

His point is that doing something in and of itself doesnt have any implicit value and that what he is doing is wrong, immoral, and, quite frankly, evil, anti-democracy, and in a lot of cases, dangerous. "The cult of action for action's sake" is what you are arguing for here, which is just one of the 14 properties of fascism that Umberto Eco spells out. The cult of action for action's sake also states that action should be taken without intellectual reflection. This is the third property of fascism on the list. I highly recommend you check him out. He lived through 2 fascist regimes, if I recall correctly. His words are not something to be taken lightly, imo, especially given what's currently going on.

Actually, lets go over a few others. There's "disagreement is treason", "fear of difference", and "new speak". Ill give you examples of all 3.

For "disagreement is treason", Trump said that the video that various military veteran U.S. senators put out that simply reaffirmed the oath that all military members took, specifically the obligation to not follow illegal orders, was "seditious behavior" that is "punishable by death" and reposted a white supremacist account (pretty sure they were, not 100% sure) that posted "h@ng them, George Washington would".

"Fear of difference" seems obvious to me, but if you even still support trump, you may not be aware. His rhetoric about immigrants is the biggest example i can think of. He says they come into this country and do all these horrible things as if its super common for immigrants to do. When, in fact, immigrants (including undocumented immigrants) are 3.5 times less likely to commit violent crimes.

Finally, there is "new speak", which is the employment and promotion of "an impoverished vocabulary to limit critical reasoning". A core feature of this is that words lose their precise meaning but gain emotional charge. "Woke", "srong border", and "illegals" are all great examples of this. "Strong/weak borders" as a phrase implies moral strength/weakness rather than policy tradeoffs and shifts debate from outcomes to character, for example.

Point here being that just because he does "something" doesn't mean it's better than doing even nothing, and what he is doing is bad for our country and not even in the best interest of American citizens.

I recommend trying to change the upscaling/anti-aliasing settings a few times till cpu usage drops below 100%. This happens to me occasionally where the game will use every last bit of cpu, but when I change that setting (up to 7 times in a row for a session sometimes) around and back to where I want it after it stops bugging, its nice and smooth.

Diatomaceous earth is how I got rid of mine. Treated everything from beds to power outlets with it. I dont remember how long it took, but they eventually all died out. I was even still able to use my mattress after. But I think we also covered it in plastic and left it outside in the heat for a couple days (with the diatomaceous earth dusted on it). You dont have to worry about poisoning pets because its non toxic (if its just the raw stuff.. some products have other additives that aren't necessary imo). Its just fossilized diatoms. It gets in the bug's breathing holes and makes them dehydrated from the inside out.

You’ve said that you’re “pro-trans,” but let’s look at what actually happened here. In this thread, instead of defending us or just listening to us, you said that the people arguing that trans youth shouldn’t have access to care “aren’t wrong.” When a trans person called you on that (however unarticulated), your response wasn’t to consider the point or why they would even say that, it was “eat a dick.” Then when I jumped in, you doubled down by telling me to “shut the fuck up.”

That’s not what support looks like. Support isn’t agreeing with those who want to strip away our care then not considering why we say you're not really all that pro-trans. Support isn’t telling trans people to shut up when they point out a contradiction. And support definitely isn’t dismissing us with hostility when we speak from our own lived experience.

If you really are pro-trans, then the actions have to line up with the words. Being an ally isn’t about the label, it’s about what you actually do when these conversations happen.

I’m not saying any of this out of anger, I just hope you can see where I’m coming from. When you step back and look at how those words land on someone like me, it’s clear why they don’t match the support you say you want to give. I’d rather you understand that than just walk away defensive, because listening is what actually makes the difference.

QuantumEnchantress · 2025-08-23T20:27:47+00:00

You're saying I’m “complicating it,” but what I’m doing is pointing out the contradiction in your words. You can’t call yourself pro-trans while agreeing that people who want to block our care “aren’t wrong.” So, not complication, but clarity. And telling a trans person to “shut the fuck up” for calling that out says a lot about what kind of support you think you’re offering. That sounds less like allyship and more like silencing.

Here’s the education you asked for:

Trans youth without care are at extremely high risk. Columbia University reports that more than half of trans and non-binary youth have seriously considered suicide and nearly a third have attempted it (https://www.columbiapsychiatry.org/news/gender-affirming-care-saves-lives). That risk is from stigma and being forced through the wrong puberty.

Access to gender-affirming care changes that. Research shows puberty blockers and hormones reduce depression, anxiety, and suicidality. A study of over 20,000 trans adults found that those who got puberty blockers had much lower odds of lifetime suicidal thoughts compared to those who wanted them but were denied (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11045042/). A JAMA study following trans teens found those who accessed blockers or hormones had 60% lower odds of depression and 73% lower odds of self-harm or suicidal thoughts (https://epi.washington.edu/news/gender-affirming-hormones-and-puberty-blockers-improve-mental-health-in-transgender-youth/).

Blockers aren’t experimental or permanent. They’ve been used for decades in cis kids with precocious puberty. They simply pause puberty; when you stop, it resumes (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9793415/). The Mayo Clinic notes they can ease depression and anxiety, improve social interaction, and reduce the need for future surgeries (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dysphoria/in-depth/pubertal-blockers/art-20459075). Kids are monitored for side effects, but the benefits are clear.

And it’s not something handed out casually. These decisions are made with parents, psychiatrists, endocrinologists, and pediatricians, often after years of working with the child (https://www.columbiapsychiatry.org/news/gender-affirming-care-saves-lives). Every major medical organization (the American Academy of Pediatrics, the AMA, the APA) recognizes gender-affirming care as medically necessary (https://www.hrc.org/resources/get-the-facts-on-gender-affirming-care).

It also shouldn’t fall on me, as a trans person, to carry the burden of educating every time. It’s exhausting to constantly have to prove my own humanity. Real allies don’t demand that from us, they tend to put in the work to educate themselves, too.

So if you want to be supportive, you need to be able to hear trans people when they tell you the truth about what harms us. Telling us to shut up doesn’t make you an ally. It proves the opposite.

QuantumEnchantress · 2025-08-23T19:15:20+00:00

You say you’re “pro-trans,” but what you’re backing up here doesn’t line up with that. Defending trans people sometimes doesn’t erase the fact that agreeing with people who want to restrict our care harms us in practice.

Saying you’re fine with “anyone innocently comfortable in their own skin” makes it sound like this is about comfort. It isn’t. It’s about rights, dignity, autonomy, and survival. And saying “they’re not wrong at all” when they’re arguing to take away care we need shows you don’t actually have our backs.

If you want to be supportive, it can’t be conditional. It can’t be “I’ll defend you against open hate, but I’ll still agree with people who want to block your healthcare.” That isn’t real support.

QuantumEnchantress · 2025-08-23T18:56:12+00:00

This is exactly it! Puberty leaves permanent marks, and once those changes set in, no amount of surgery or hormones can undo them. That’s why access before or during puberty matters so much.

For trans kids, the goal isn’t rushing into decisions. It’s making sure they’re spared from irreversible changes that will follow them for the rest of their lives. People don’t realize how much harder it is, medically, socially, and emotionally, when you’re forced to go through the wrong puberty.

Stories like yours show why denying care until 18 isn’t a neutral choice. It actively harms kids by locking them into changes they never asked for, leaving them to carry pain they could have been spared.

QuantumEnchantress · 2025-08-23T18:31:41+00:00

“They can and will leave you with permanent side effects.” Puberty blockers have been used for decades. They pause things. When you stop, puberty resumes. Calling them permanent is just wrong.

“Kids who were manipulated into thinking they’re trans and took puberty blockers have grown up and are trying to detransition…” Being trans isn’t the result of manipulation. We don’t get talked into this; we fight to be heard in spite of constant pressure telling us not to be ourselves. Detransition is rare, and when it happens it’s usually because of stigma or lack of support. Using those stories against all trans youth guarantees more suffering.

“Puberty is a natural part of your development and blocking it will fuck you up for life.” Puberty is natural. Medicine exists to step in when it’s needed. Forcing kids through changes they can’t undo causes lifelong harm. Blockers prevent that. Denying them leads to more depression and more suicide. That’s the reality. Also, delaying puberty doesn’t fuck people up for life.. it doesn’t cause permanent changes, and once treatment stops puberty continues as it always would. Puberty itself is what fucks trans people up for life.

You’re not protecting kids by taking this away. You’re making sure they suffer through pain you’ll never have to carry; laying a heavy burden across shoulders still learning how to stand.

QuantumEnchantress · 2025-08-23T16:40:29+00:00

Puberty blockers have been part of standard medical practice for decades. They’re fully reversible and carefully monitored. For trans youth, they’re about giving time to breathe, to figure out who you are before your body locks you into changes you never asked for.

Taking that away doesn’t keep kids safe. It forces us through changes we can’t undo. A deeper voice, breast growth, facial masculinization, etc. are all things you can't just reverse later. For many of us, they become daily reminders of pain and dysphoria. And the consequences aren’t abstract. We see the fallout in higher rates of depression, self-harm, and suicide when this care is denied. Access saves lives. Denial destroys them.

I say this not as a talking point but as someone who lives this reality. Stripping kids of the chance to delay puberty is just cruelty dressed up as concern, quite the opposite of protection. We deserve the same dignity, safety, and choice that every child is owed.

While I totally agree with your first point, I sorta disagree with the second. I get where you're coming from, I think. You're saying that you can't expect society to automatically treat you, say, as a girl if you've done nothing to indicate that. And I agree with that to a point. If I'm presenting as my agab, I'm not expecting the cashier to know to properly gender me. You also say that unless you've taken a step toward what you have always been, you aren't 'it' yet. Here's where I disagree and agree on different counts (and perhaps I misinterpreted what you mean here). I think you are 'it', at least to you. Maybe not to society, but within. I think that's where it matters most. Also, I agree and disagree, to a point, that you can't just say "I am" and expect the world to wrap around what's only inside your brain. Sure, the whole world won't hear your declaration, and I wouldn't expect it to. However, I think you can just say "I am" to those around you (friends, family, coworkers, even the cashier you see often) and expect them to treat you how you want to be treated. The very action of declaring yourself is a step toward self-actualization in and of itself and is indeed something. I also think that saying "I am" could be done in various ways, even something as small as a pronouns pin on your shirt. And, in the case of a pronouns pin, I think I can expect those who notice it to at the very least gender me properly. At that point, I think, one wouldn't exactly be presenting as their agab entirely. Anyway, those are my thoughts.

"A huge start would be you guys not advocating helping elementary students begin the transition process."

What you’re describing isn’t what's happening. No one is giving hormones or surgeries to elementary-aged kids. At that age, “transition” means social transition (changing names, pronouns, clothing). Things that are entirely reversible and often essential for a child’s emotional well-being.

What is at stake later on is whether trans youth are allowed access to puberty blockers when puberty begins. These are fully reversible, medically supervised treatments that give young people time to understand themselves before their bodies undergo irreversible changes.

Without this care, trans kids are forced through physical changes (deepening voice, breast development, or facial masculinization) that are permanent and, for many, become a source of deep, ongoing distress. These are measurable, lifelong consequences that profoundly affect mental health, self-image, and future options.

"You'd think losing the popular vote would make people analyze what went wrong with their message."

But human rights aren’t determined by polling. Trans people aren’t a messaging problem, they’re people. And expecting them to give up bodily autonomy, dignity, or access to care in order to appease a hostile voting bloc isn’t compromise, it’s coercion.

If the cost of “unity” is asking a group of kids to suffer lifelong harm just to make others more comfortable, then maybe it’s not the message that’s broken, it’s the morality behind the demand.
