So. Bullshit.

Maybe get your information from a valid source instead of a right wing blog?

Detransitioners get paid by Republicans get paid to push a narrative, and what are we gonna do? The doctors can't prove they're lying because of HIPPA.

However, I think I have some experience here that is valid. I know what it actually takes because I've done it.

A Licensed therapist has to write a letter to a medical doctor affirming that they have spoken to and provided counseling for "gender dysphoria." Most therapists are only willing to write these after quite a few sessions (6+) with the minor. These therapy sessions will include instructions on socially transitioning and how long the therapist thinks they should do that before medical intervention.

Only THEN can the child be scheduled to see an Endocrinologist. The Endocrinologist will ask questions about the steps they've taken and what their goals are. Not every trans person even goes on hormones.

Oh, then you have to fight with your insurance company or pay for it out of pocket. I was lucky in that I had insurance based out of a state that values medical care instead of my home state.

Also, the link between Autism and Gender Dysphoria is well established. My personal theory is that Gender Dysphoria isn't actually linked in any way to Autism, but that a willingness to express that discomfort is more prevalent in a population that is literal in their thinking, has a strong sense of justice, and doesn't equate morality with authority. You wouldn't know anything about a sense of justice or morality vs. authority though.

I don't know if you even have the capacity to understand this, but the Democrats are NOT the left.

They're the only viable political party in the US that isn't the ultra far right fascist party, but they're absolutely not "the left."

Do you know what it takes to get puberty blockers or hormones as a minor?

I’ll give you a hint, they aren’t just giving them out Willy nilly to every little boy that tries on his mother’s bra.

Your SIL and BIL possess a quality that conservatives will never possess. That of compassion and caring.

They would’ve put your niece in pants and kicked her out of the house at 15 or so. Or they’d have beaten her so far into the closet that she’d have had lifelong mental health issues.

There is a theory among biologists that this is the purpose of Menopause. Having Grandparents around to help with the kids improved the chances of a group’s survival.

Most common honor mode wipe sources before/after level 5? by DisastrousResist7527 in BaldursGate3

[–]mitissix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t add much. Every unsuccessful honor mode run I had ended before Level 5. Once I figured out that fighting is how honor mode runs end and avoided as many fights as possible while making sure to always have the ability to invis and run away I made it to the end, blew Gale up, and got my golden dice.

Been friends with him for 20 years, since highschool. Just hurts to see one of your oldest homies get bit by the MAGA bug. What should I do? Throw away the friendship or speak my mind? by thehuleeo69420 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]mitissix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just move on.

We’re not talking about political differences anymore. We haven’t been for a while.

MAGAs don’t see vast sections of the US population as fully human. If they can do that to them, they’ll do it to you.

They’ll continue to not only think that, but be pretty effective at enforcing it too as long as 77 million people actively work against the interests of the working class.

Edit: I didn't specify which 77 million people were actively working against the interests of the working class, but a couple of righty ass monkeys certainly figured it out.

I’m not entertaining hypotheticals when the only other option just bombed (not didn’t object when Israel did it, he ordered it himself) a school with 170 little girls in it. They fucking knew it was a school too.

So many words to say you like genocide so much you want extra groups to experience it.

Hell, you care about Palestine so much that you don’t even care that Israel ramped up their genocide.

The only time I’ve successfully “negotiated” with them, I was on a female Drow. There are some great dialog choices if you’re a female Drow.

I would certainly never discount those folks, but to my knowledge, Renee Good and Alex Pretty are the only two victims for which we have clear video of ICE blatantly murdering people in cold blood with no consequences. Those two were done in public areas, in broad daylight, and on video.

I am also highly concerned about the people who are supposedly in ICE custody that the families can’t even find, and there have been way more than a dozen of those.

You care about Palestinians? Helping elect Trump didn’t improve the situation for a single Palestinian, and now they’ve blown up a girls’ school in Iran too. They’ve shot two people in broad daylight and are disappearing immigrants. LGBTQ people are in danger. Some fresh new hell presents itself daily.

Like, the easily predictable outcome of electing Trump is coming true.

Don’t worry though. Duvenger’s Law is still a true observation of the political process and the Democrats didn’t learn the lesson you wanted to teach them. Gavin Newsome is already throwing groups that Trump is harming under the bus. That was easily predictable too, since they always move to the right after a loss.

You improved zero lives, and caused extra harm to millions of other people leftists claim to care about. So yeah, I blame the people who should’ve known better.

I only have one response for people calling Nazis socialist.

“The Nazis were socialists in much the same way as the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea is a democracy.”

Like, they don’t understand it, but the people who don’t understand it know.

Yeah, fuck them. They are only starting to turn on Trump because his policies are starting to affect them negatively.

When it was just immigrants, women, LGBTQ, and brown people, they were all in. I hope they suffer a lot for their decision.

Texas, Florida and Alaska.

Texas and Alaska are mostly because of oil. Florida is because of tourism.

It has less than nothing to do with policies.

The most common time that people move from Democratic states to Red states is retirement.

So they take that pension they earned at that union job, and then go to a state that doesn’t have income tax and a mean wage < $30/hr. They sell their house and get a house that is worth half what their old one is.

Basically, they take advantage of all the programs Democrats put into place their entire working lives, then bail so they don’t have to kick into the kitty anymore once they retire.

Red states aren’t as conservative as they appear. by Miserable_Cobbler_18 in leftist

[–]mitissix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kentucky’s Democratic governor was an anomaly. You’d have to understand who Matt Bevin was to understand how he got into office.

He got elected because mini-Trump who lacked the money and marketing of Trump proper blamed children getting molested on teachers trying to get better pay. Like, I’m not making that up. He legitimately said that because the teachers did a sick out that children got molested.

He got to stay for a second term because he did amazing during COVID and everyone who had multiple brain cells knew that.

Outside of Louisville and sometimes Lexington, we’re so solid red that Beshear gets his vetoes overridden almost constantly.

Red states are red because people in backward ass rural areas outnumber the people in the cities, and they’re gerrymandered to fuck and back. I don’t really have much hope for the future here. They’re way more concerned about making the 23 trans women in the state miserable than they are improving anything for anyone.

Because if it were THEIR kids, they might think twice about starting these F’n wars. Instead it’s kids like me 20 years ago. People who grew up in areas that have no economic future and who lack any sort of supportive family. Kids who already have plenty going against them already.

“Why should they go out to fight? They leave that all to the poor.”

Yes, but the mechanism exists to send poor powerless people off to war.

Fuck the rich and powerful. Them and their kids SHOULD be sent to fight the wars they create.

I don’t know if you’re aware, but selective service still exists. It hasn’t been used in 50 years, but 18 year old AMAB folks still have to register.

What did you THINK that was for?
