Please. I've lived next to railroad tracks for five years now, and I've only ever seen two significant derailments. Trains going into emergency stop don't count as long as the issue is fixable by the crew.

The derailment of a Norfolk Southern coal train that left coal piled all over some poor farmer's field doesn't count either, that was on a totally different line I use to commute to work. Pretty neat seeing the aftermath with all of the busted hoppers piled up at the side of the tracks, though.

No it's one hundred percent the point. It's about control and making sure women are meek and ashamed of themselves at all times. A woman that grows up not ashamed of their body and rejects abstinence only bullshit is a woman that isn't going to vote republican.

From what I read, can't remember where as I was forced to use Bing to search it, she was trying to suicide, halfassedly at best, but apparently she tried and the doctors saw the danger in letting her stay the way she was because it was damaging her psychologically. So her parents agreed to let them do things to help her. Now she's all pissed because she's out of that period of her life and is living with regrets. So rather than you know, look into options, she's raging against it and the right wing is all too happy to prop her on a pedestal. So now she gets constant reaffirmation that she is a victim of the left wing woke doctors instead of the physical and likely mental help she needs

Thanks. I don't really understand how gender dysphoria or whatever she suffered from can just- what, go away? Mostly I just found her talking about the beauty of motherhood, which is something that I, female, have never related to. It's difficult to have a shitload of sympathy because (1) I also had a rough time as a teenager due to undiagnosed mental issues so her saying that she missed out on a lot of things she should have experienced is . . . I mean, I missed those things too and by the time I was out of high school I barely cared, and (2) what were people supposed to think if she was self-harming and saying that she wanted to be a boy? Did she just say to her parents "yeah I don't like being a girl, here's something I read online" and multiple doctors said "Oh my God, she's trans and will kill herself if she doesn't get treatment far younger than it's usually done"? I'm sort of curious to see what the lawsuit turns up because if what she says is true then it's questionable behavior, at best, on multiple levels, and I really want to know what would have led doctors to believe that the situation was so serious.

I mean I'm no expert in the situation, and the details behind everything are basically few even from her, so forming a concrete story on her experience is pretty impossible at the time. To me it sounds like societal pressure beating on someone that couldn't cope with it (there is no shame in this) and the parents were desperate for a solution and doctors could only offer what they viewed as the best option to immediately work to help her.
This seems to be a failure of US mental help to actually help people that need it. And now when she still needs it the system is using her rather than helping her because a bunch of assholes decide trans is the new Satan.
I just hope after the guilty/innocent verdict or whatever comes she can finally be given the help she so desperately needs. Mental healthcare should be a right rather than an option that brands you as defected for life

Never, ever tell this to an officer's spouse. They only know two things in this world:

1) their husband/wife is a hero and wins wars all by themself
2) they are just as fundamental a piece in winning those wars, if not moreso, than their spouse
