As someone who owns an EV, I can confirm that every time I drive it, I burn a flag and hold a latte. Oddest requirements to start the car, but there you go. It makes it very hard to steer though.

Hop in loser, we’re getting top surgeries. (The average age of transgender surgeries for minors is 17, with that being heavily in the 15-17 range. I mean, it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to understand that bottom surgery on a prepubescent kid is going to have logistical problems, and top surgery is just nonsensical.) But hey! Nothing really grab people’s attention like showing an eight-year-old being dragged in for surgery.

Not from the US so I haven't heard anything about it. Chicago elected a mayor who might not be awful. First the incumbent didn’t carry through to the runoff, which was already hilarious, but then the progressive won over the centrist democrat. (This is Chicago, so republicans didn’t even place.)

VitalSigns posted:I'm actually surprised Ishida hasn't gone full Horsey on homeless people yet. Homeless people are useful pawns to concern troll about every so often when the subject is something like foreign aid. "Why are we sending so much money to these countries overseas when there are homeless veterans in the US?" They don't actually care about homeless veterans, of course, but pretending that they do allows them to push their agenda. And so Tats is just doing the same thing, pretending to care about homeless people because it lets him attack trans people. Alhazred posted:Not to mention: Why are they coercing kids to transits?

Family and gender roles are Good, because they are from God, which is the sole source of Good, and transgender people subvert these and are therefore Evil, and from The Devil, and must be purged accordingly because there can only be Good and no nuance about it. Transgender people do what they do because they are Evil, with no other possible understandable motive, and therefore forcing kids to become transgender against their will is well within their wheelhouse because they are Evil and no foul deed is beyond their ability. The Republican mentality becomes a lot easier when you understand the two-pole alignment system their brains operate under.

The excuse is “it’s big money” but I did the math, and there’s more kids with ADHD in America than the entire transgender population. It feels like a lot of heavy lifting to carve out a new market. Ritalin was the old “diagnoses kids for the big bucks” scare, and even that seems like an easier sell than telling parents to adjust to changing a lot about their kids. And that’s still bullshit, but at least like, quasi-plausible bullshit?”

It feels like a lot of heavy lifting to carve out a new market. The big bucks from trans people come from trans adults needing to get surgery to fix not getting the right hormones as kids. Also, my adhd pills cost way more than the dirt cheap generic hormones I take. It's also very interesting how the idea of big pharma pushing trans medicine compares to the reality of a sparse network of care spread very thin, with some people needing to travel huge distances to see a doctor who will provide care.

Dr. Stab posted:It's also very interesting how the idea of big pharma pushing trans medicine compares to the reality of a sparse network of care spread very thin, with some people needing to travel huge distances to see a doctor who will provide care. Making it all a big medical conspiracy is conservatives' way of fitting happy trans people into their grand narrative, I think. Like, a transgender person saying that transitioning was a good thing that made them happy kinda flies in the face of their whole "gender-affirming care is a blood-and-guts horror show that everyone grows to regret" rhetoric. So, to dismiss those peoples' claims, there needs to be a widespread conspiracy, where the happy trans person was forced to think that way, by powers beyond their control. They're so brainwashed, they don't realize what harm they've actually been caused! Plus, transphobes have an active interest in portraying trans-related care as something that is easily-available and rapidly-occurring, since that keeps everyone nice and panicked. You always need to be vigilant, because you might have a well-behaved Christian daughter on Sunday, but then a teacher tells her she's trans on Monday, and she's scheduled for a double mastectomy on Friday.

Not from the US so I haven't heard anything about it. This is the article I found: https://ktxs.com/news/nation-world/...firearms-arrest "The cause of the wave of violence and unrest – which saw car windows broken, bystanders beaten, cars set ablaze, and shots fired – is unknown, although authorities believe it was spurred by fliers posted on social media that simply called for a teen meetup." The theory is that it was a social media meetup that escalated. Another relevant quote: "...gun violence tends to go up as it gets warmer and young people escape from sweltering apartments and homes." Two teens were shot during the unrest. A woman alleges that her husband was beaten up. There have been no reported deaths that I know of.
