I'm getting the feeling it's going to end up with Murkowski and Graham as "no" votes and everyone else falling in line. They'll get Collins on board, they'll get McCain because he sucks and won't die, and it'll be a 50+1 shitshow once again.

i agree with this: i'm certainly not willing to say this will fail but the votes aren't there yet

heller has also suddenly started hedging - my guess is that he won't kill it if he's the deciding vote but if it's dying anyway he wants to get on board with killing it:

AFAIK lobsters don't "age" I'm any conventional sense so it was probably just really big lobster that tastes like any other lobster.

Being transgender and suffering from gender dysmorphia don't map 1:1. In other words, "gender dysmorphia" Isn't just a medical term for "transgender," but is rather a specific thing that some people who are transgender suffer from.

At least, that's how I understand it. Someone who's done more research or who actually is trans could probably explain it better.

I guess my feeling stems from cynicism; if Graham is signaling that he won't vote for a skinny repeal (and I can't see how something that doesn't actually cause a market death spiral would still be able to be considered a skinny repeal), that leads me to believe that one of either Collins or Murkowski has been successfully bought out.

Regardless of any of the facts relating to the classification of gender dysphoria, the white house ain't linking that article because they care about trans peoples' mental health.

Jesus Christ, this is so loving terrible. The modern consensus among professional psychologists is that being transgender is NOT psychological disorder. It's been that way for decades. And to accept that it IS a disorder would be to completely reject the idea that being transgender is valid.

Not really, they are high ranking senators with a lot of committee power. Murkowski for example controls when and if any interior department official gets a confirmation hearing. The interior department that just threatened her state. If she changed caucuses she would lose that authority.

I could be 100% wrong so take this with a grain of salt. You know how cognitive dissonance refers specifically to the discomfort holding conflicts beliefs causes, not to the holding of the beliefs itself? I'm pretty sure this is the same way. I'm pretty sure gender dysphoria refers to the feeling of distress, not to being transgender itself.

But I don't know. I'm not an expert.

E: f,b. Also the point that this is all disingenuous anyway is correct.
