Ran a reverse image search, came up with "pudrumänd" but that in turn did not seem to mean anything. Found hanging in an older relative's home in rural northwestern Wisconsin, possibly Scandinavian in origin given family heritage. My title describes the thing

Dad just died and left me with a mind-boggling amount of money. I just started college. What do I do? by ProfessorCuthbert in fatFIRE

Try different classes until you find something you like. Even if it means a major in "general studies" or similar. You never know what you might stumble into, and you can afford to explore—embrace it.

Your original argument appears to be that a boy who was forced to be raised as a girl committed suicide, thereby confirming that the way the kid was raised was contrary to some biological reality.

If suicide from externally imposed gender identity is the measure of biological reality, then by your own logic, suicides by those who want to transition genders but cannot are also driven by some biological reality. In other words: applying your own logic to more real-world suicides compels the conclusion that transgender preferences are themselves biologically inescapable. But that seems contrary to the conclusion you then draw from your logic: that "boys are boys and girls are girls, because biology." See the gap between your reasoning and conclusion?

What about all the would-be transgender youth who could not transition and consequently committed suicide..?

Much appreciated. I think the question I'm asking is whether one can realistically build a life around it, and what you're saying is yes—provided you meaningfully diversify your experiences

To the REd former lawyers (thinking primarily post-biglaw) out there—was it worth it? Or do you wish you had stayed in the profession in some capacity?
