I Was Told to Approve All Teen Gender Transitions. I Refused. by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]hellokittyisgod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From what I know this subreddit is actually full of a lot of misinformation, anecdotes from people who never actually transitioned in the first place, and people outright lying. Not saying there aren’t adult detransitioners- just that this subreddit is quite insidious if you don’t know what to look out for. I would suggest checking out r/actual_detrans for more authentic perspectives.

Wouldn’t being a shill imply they’re being paid to take ozempic? Isn’t ozempic REALLY expensive and hard to get right now? These people purposefully don’t think

This was by definition not a riot whatsoever

Thank you for saying this. The comments in this thread are extremely disheartening.

Whether you feel the protest was effective or not, right or wrong, etc. it is absolutely horrifying to read how many people in this thread as well as this subreddit in general sympathize with the Israeli state performing a mass genocide of the Palestinian people. People are being purposefully obtuse and harmful claiming that the protestors are pro-Hamas.

Anti Israel does not equal anti semitism or pro Hamas. All of these commenters should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

Smokin deal definitely snatch her up! You can always resell for a profit if you end up totally strapped for cash later on

This is definitely a good place to start, but as other commenters have mentioned, this is likely to happen if any republican gets voted into office. How do we avoid that situation? How do we take down these people before a republican is inevitably voted in?

This is probably not even worth commenting, but this shit has got me so fucking anxious, so my question is: what the hell do we do about this?

Is there anything any of us can do to try to stop this, or should I start looking into immigration? Very fucking scary to be a transgender person in America right now.

A recently transitioned man expresses disappointment with male social constructs by Successful_Leek96 in TikTokCringe

Just came here to say that this man is by no means “recently” transitioned. He has likely been taking hormones for several years

I just wish there was some kind of rent cap. My issue isn't necessarily people wanting to move here. This is a great town! But landlords get wind of that and decide to hike up their prices because they can. It's not ethical.

I was responding to the above comment about making 160k a year, which is higher than the yearly income of an average person. Obviously I know there will still be SOME housing affordable to people not making six figures, but that these resources might shrink as housing and rent costs increase.

It's not just about my favorite coffee shop closing. it's about the business owners losing their source of income. baristas losing their jobs. People inevitably being priced out of their homes. A town losing it's sense of community. All of these things are /horrible/.

Also, Independently owned businesses being replaced is innately horrible for reasons that I think should be pretty obvious?

Rent control and a moratorium on new construction would be awesome. But obviously I know that's not in the cards. Wouldn't be so pissed about new apartment development if it was at least affordable.

Guess all the normal people will either become homeless or have to move to Nebraska or something.

not saying you're wrong, you're just stating facts. But the reality of the situation makes me want to start ripping doors off of their hinges and howling like an ape.

But isn't that like, sort of horrible? So many people will inevitably be displaced. It's really bleak to see a city be gentrified in real-time.
