I live in a city and love it here. I even live in a rather “rough” area. Not the hood, but I’ve never felt unsafe enough to go buy a gun. Everybody keeps to themselves here at the very least. Meanwhile in the suburbs people call the HOA if your grass isn’t the right shade of green.

By ignoring both their kids AND the medical data that supports the treatment and health of trans people, parents are putting their kids at further risk of actual mental issues (depression) and suicidal ideation due to a very crucial support system suddenly invalidating the kids and their feelings.

Gender affirming healthcare IS mental health care. Over 100 years of research and the medical field has come to the conclusion that A) gender dysphoria isnt a mental health issue, B) gender affirming healthcare is the best way to treat trans people, and C) gender affirming healthcare is life saving

This. Wealth wouldnt be an issue if it was reinvested into public works and making life better for everyone. Instead we have billionaires dumping funds into space flight while I struggle to get my CGMs for my T1 diabetus. Like no shit we wanna eat the rich they never have to worry about going hungry

This is why capitalism and the US is dying. All big corps and 1%ers became so big that only place left to expand their wealth was into politics and gobbling up smaller businesses for dirt cheap. The worst part is that the checks and balances are now taken away and we are seeing real time death of US

To those in power, equality and equity feel like oppression.

This shouldnt be a comparison of who has it worse. Transphobia is transphobia, regardless of who is receiving it. We shouldn’t be having to establish “yes trans mascs face transphobia” everytime the topic of trans women in sports is brought up. Both can be bad simultaneously.

This. Since the people are waking up to the fact that Trump is literally doing what he said he would do, and it’s hurting them, the republicans are trying to slowly cut the umbilical they have with Trump. It’s time to oust all republicans. They don’t care about our suffering.

Interesting article. I always used the term to describe mainly men, who flog the log multiple times a day/week. Basically most guys with high sex drives and the need to get off frequently are just mismanaging their libido. Makes sense that it’s not an actual addiction. -someone who does SW

Yes, but too little too late. The issue is whatever obstacles the dems throws at Trump & Co, won’t do anything with the total control that republicans and MAGA has over our entire govt.

Along with “aligns themselves to MAGA and never opposes Trump.” As we saw with RFK Jr and so many others.

Easy its the “meritocracy” they crave. To them the color of skin, perceived sexuality, and gender appearance are the qualifications are the “resume.” See a POC? “DEI” meanwhile being a cishet white man is all the qualification these people need. 2nd best is bending over for MAGA, as we saw with RFK

But nobody is actually being hired off just race/sex/whatever. Its that a company is more productive when its employees come from different backgrounds.
You just think they are, simply because you cant fathom how systemic issues very much impede peoples job opportunities when they ARE qualified…

This. Like we all deserve life love etc but we are so entrenched in BS and chaos that its easy for most to just check out. Its the “best time to be alive in all of human history” meets “several hundred years of social and political regress.” We arent doomed, but we arent able to asses the damage yet

On one hand- karma working as intended. Pervs looking for porn of you got scammed lol
But on the other hand- AI slop, deepfakes, revenge porn, are ALL critical issues that ofc this current admin. wont do anything to address. These will lag behind and it will be even worse 4 years from now.

The silver lining is that since republicans literally control every facet of the govt. now, they will only have themselves to blame once shit hits the fan.
Actually who am I kidding, they will still blame Biden, DEI, and even Obama for their fuckups, as Trump already did with the FAA mishap.

I used to be one circa 2016. It was easy to blame others for my problems. I woke up when I realized the people I “hated” were not the source of my problems. It was internal conflict combined with the patriarchy and rich. Its my past and I’m ashamed, but I’ve learned to love and value everyone now.

My issue is that I have too much of an immune system: Type 1 Diabetus
No thanks, I don’t need anymore illnesses doing fucky wucky things to my health.
I’d rather die pushing for universal healthcare than pretending like abolishing vaccines is somehow in our collective best interests…

Not just LGBTQ people, but every minority. It’s why migrants are also treated as a boogeyman. Yesteryear it was muslims, then gays, then women, and black people. If we trace it back far enough we end up with the Irish, Chinese, and even Germans. Conservatives only value blaming those they hate.

Turns out that we all have the same grievances, just some of us lack the crucial understanding of who is doing us all harm. Its not migrants, or trans people, but the people (ahem 1%ers) who profit off everybody. Luigi showed that this isnt a politic sides issue, its a class issue. Always has been.

I just fluctuate between numbness and hope. Either this country bleeds out because corporate America and Trump take it’s toll, or everybody suffers and “we” all collectively wake up and realize Trump is just 1 side of the coin, and “we” gotta stop this culture war shit. By “we” I mean Trump Voters

The issue is, cis people also suffer from the gender expectations that get put upon trans people. A boy liking blue? Must be gay and/or confused. A girl with short hair? Must be a dyke. Yet this has been so normalized that it’s suddenly a radical concept that pink used to be a boys color, etc.

Nobody is confused about gender thought What DOES confuse people is what gender entails, and why its separate from biological sex. The kid in the comic is having fun just being a kid not worrying about conforming to certain gender expressions. In a perfect world gender wouldnt be a fixation for some
